Thanks guy, i think the Husa is 114kg compared to 107.5 on the KTM, I think i will go with the Husa, due to the sea of Orange. The 350 does look like an awesome bike, and has been given great reviews in TBM mag in the UK..
GUess i will just need to get out there and try them both.
Cheers

@ Mega, It looks like you had a full on day testing, awesome. Out of the bunch what was your prefered weapon
Have any of you compared the 390 to the 350 excf back to back? I am planing of trail riding and entering a few races (hare and hounds in the UK) just wondered what your experience is, weight, handling and power delivery. I am currently on a wr450f which is a beast of a bike, but looking to downsize.. The excf is a tad lighter but not sure if its noticable. Not goingto go 2 stroke as it needs to be an all rounder..
@amasterton If you want to go racing take the KTM 350 or the Berg 450. You could still take the 390 in an racing enviroment, but the 350 would be much more fun.
@amasterton From what I've read, the Berg is better for more extreme enduro type events because of the bottom end power it has for technical riding. The KTM would be better for hare and hound style events since it is lighter and has a better hit in the top. Both are pretty solid choices though!
@RedBullBurger25 The 390 has a very smooth engine. Maybe too smooth. A pipe and the engine on the aggressive setting would transform it. It would make an easy to ride trail bike. The 350 is a different beast ,more an enduro than trail bike. Both bikes are good. The Husaberg range, I feel have better suspension out of the box for my weight and riding style.

Sweet! thanks, i went to my dealer and he told me the 390 might be too heavy for me. None the less the 390 seems like an awesome bike!
