They've been running a couple 650's for over 7000KM.
Never needed to open the motors and no other bike has equal power to weight :mwink:
".. The bergs since '07 & '08's are as reliable as any other enduro based rallye bike out there, more so in many cases, the 650 in particular.
I have now run 2 Berg 650's in rallyes, an '07 from last years Australian Safari event which now has 7,000 rallye km on it with zero issues, and is about to be preped to go again in this years Safari with a mate on it, and my new '08 with 1,000km on it so far from a 2 day rallye, again no issues and I will be riding it in this years Safari.
Last year there was 2 '07 650's both finished the 5,500km rallye, one came 8th outright !! its motor was never touched beyond oil & filters
This year we have a team of 4 X 650's in the event which is in August and we expect no mechanical dnf's. We believe this will dispel any doubts.
The 650 is the go, better bore / stroke ratio, more grunt and better power in the mid range to lope along at 100-140kph range with out working the motor hard ie its the least stressed, it will however pull 170+kph if you need it too.
A key to longivity is using Motul 300V Factoryline 15W/50 double ester oil and cange it each day along with the filter.."
