[QUOTE="cetris, post: 271412, member: 23113"] [b]But Can You Get Parts???[/b] I had a '90 510 and really liked it. Super motor, but sorta quirky handling...it would go like h*ll in a straight line, but didn't turn too well. I have read that they have massaged some of the handling traits and the newer ones turn better. One major problem though was parts availability. My ignition system failed and I had to order a new coil/flywheel assembly. Cost was about $300 (probably not too high), but it took close to two months to get it. The whole time I was waiting, my dealer never was able to confirm if the parts were ever really going to arrive. "They are on their way over here, but they still have to work their way through customs, etc". I didn't know until the day they arrived whether or not they were anywhere near the east coast of USA, still getting out of a dock in Italy, or what. It sucked....I was literally contemplating buying a new bike so I could start riding again when the parts finally got here. I don't think it was my dealer's fault, I think it was the parent company Cagiva. Somebody else I think is handling the USA distributorship now, maybe it has improved, maybe not....I don't know. I know a dealer in South Carolina that does Husaberg, KTM, Suzuki, Ducati and a couple others. He used to do Husky's too, but dropped them a few years ago when he was unable to get simple stuff like clutch cables for his customers. To this day he refuses to deal with Husky again because of the way he (and his customers) got screwed due to the parts availibility issue. I'd like to have one of the new 450's too, but I would be very scared to do it unless someone could convince they have remedied this problem. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
