We would like to take the Bergs on this trip just for a bit of fun even tho they are not the best choice and the other bikes are more 'sensible'
Would you risk taking these bikes and minimal gear for a 6-8000km trip with potential for crap fuel. We would run low power mode and change filters etc.

I would do it.
If I was going to Mongolia this year it would be on my Husaberg 570. If I get back to the BAM again it will be on my 570.
Add some aftermarket fuel tanks and lightweight luggage and its perfect. I dont know how the berg will run on the occasional 80 octane fuel .. maybe buy a litre or two of octane booster in UB.
I wouldnt let it put you off the idea tho.
You would have a total ball in Mongolia on a 570.
I am a bit distracted with other things this year otherwise I would be spending my time working on Adventurising my Husaberg for exactly that sort of ride.
