k5 VS BERG 501

[ZAR]

HEY GUYS,. BEEN AWAY FROM THE SITE FOR A WHILE. OVER THE WINTER I BOUGHT A COUPLE HUSABERGS  501 FC AND FE 98/94  AND HAVE NOT RIDDEN MY 500 SINCE.   I HONESTLY THINK THE BERGS PUT MORE POWER TO THE GROUND. AM I NUTS

I rode a Husaberg 501 several years back, a friend was sponsored by a local shop and they gave him a 501 to see what he thought about it.  Anyways, to me it felt very similar to my 99 KX 500.  I will say that I think the KX 500 still has a bit more acceleration.  The Husaberg didn't feel as responsive.  This was the first 4 stroke I had ever ridden.  I'd ride one again, I did like it but like my KX better.
