If nothing else they are damn good looking bikes.

The word "Berg" came to mind when I was looking at the color scheme, and than I read it was a hybrid Husky / Berg.

Nice Bikes.

So it looks like the big difference between them is the linkage. Everything else looks the same except for the decals. A Beta RR was in the books for my next ride, but this changes everything. Although, I'm still liking the idea of a kickstart for backup and a carburetor.

I'd still go Beta. Love my 2012 450RR.

Whats a Beta guy doing here with the dogs?

and speaking of Carburetors, my lawnmower has one, and it seems to work pretty good too.

Simple answer is no, because that bike uses the BMW 650 engine which KTM/Husqvarna have already said they will stop using.

Was (jokingly) bad mouthing Husa for discontinuing the 70 degree engine at the local Husky dealer. Reply was that I should wait about two years and then that engine would be back.
