Congrats! I almost went that route from my '12 300XC, but went 350 XCF... Let us know how it runs. Know it is much smoother with the counterbalance. Heard the Huskies have some jetting concerns...

Anyway, Merry Christmas!!!

I got one and other than huge moto jumps it may be the perfect do it all machine.......put it in 3rd on single track and lug it around like a 4 stroke and it will amaze you. (I realize you already had an older one..) That's probably the perfect "utah" bike. congratulations.... awesome machine.

Wearing one of my Moab shirts at work right now bro, the whole state is freaking awesome. That slick rock trail made me it's bitch though.

I am with you there! I never thought I would spend that much either and then some! My friends talked me into some 52mm conevalve forks, trax shock, and I whole bunch more! Great bike to be sure but wow the money we spend now! Congrats on the two stroke moto0852!

I assume you got it from Edge? Did they have any 150xcw's yet?
Good looking bike!

How do you like the suspension? Also is the vibration that much less? Looking at 17 250xcw myself. Wanted a 250xcf but leaning towards 2 stroke now...

Just got it today and only rode it around the yard but the vibration is clearly better than my old 08 250xc.

Will be watching for an update. Dealers around here say it will be a few more weeks before they get the 250 xcw's.....trying to be patient!
