Fairly certain that the truck delivering mine and buddy's tipped over in the high winds in NJ on Friday because tracking is still saying that they're still in NJ.....WTF!!!!

digger, where do you check the tracking ?? my husky dealer in canada says he can't track the bike.
Hope the huskys weren't in that truck.

The truck didn't tip over. I just grabbed that random pic from the internet :-) Tracking was just updated and they'll be here tomorrow morning. My dealer was able to track them with help from our rep.

Another buddy that has one just stopped here to grab some goodies that I picked up for him for it and he's off to Florida to ride his. I told him as he was leaving that I want a ride report tomomoorw. I totally trust him because he rips and has been riding them as long as I have and we've swapped bikes while practicing and his set up is just the way I like mine set up.

Cool I always trust your ride reports. Buddy went to pick his up today but they are calling for rain in dc until Friday so I wouldn't be able to ride it until Sunday after the tracks dry out. So waiting. Lol.

Nice! I’ve got the same truck if you angle the bike with front wheel to the corner and a tie down in the front corner and other tie down in opposite rear corner you can fit bike perfectly with tailgate up and locked.

Thx for the tip! I just need to get around the "Swing Cases" I installed in the rear on both sides. Bought the truck in December and picked up the FE last night; can't wait to break them both in!

Sorry not the orange one but did get a few moto's in on my FC450 Rockstar Edition last Sunday. I have had a few 450 Factory Editions including the 2017 model. For me the engine changes are subtle - little quicker revving, little stronger pull low to mid, little less vibration, Map 2 is more lively and responsive, still has exceptional throttle to rear wheel connectivity and finds traction. Power is so smooth - easy to get on the gas earlier in corners. The chassis changes are more noticeable to me. Better precision in cornering (especially entry) and tracking in the rough stuff and ruts. The shrouds are lower and thinner and give the bike a smaller feel. Orange or white these are very good bikes!

That looks like the 2019 250SXF. New chasis but I think the same engine as 2018.

Same for me. I was in Atlanta last weekend and they had a sale. It was listed as $9250 plus taxes, equaled out to $9700 out the door.

Looks sweet. Thank you for the ride report. Got me thinking husky. Hmmmmm
