I love the orange frames! That will save me $$$ and time stripping one down and sending the frame in for powder coating.

It's not clear to me which bikes are getting the new 4CS fork. That is a major consideration.

I'm damn close to blowing out my zooks on Craigslist to wait on the FE. I'm a sucker for that parts catalog they have.

Yup, when they release that '15 FE I'll be making the decision on my bike. I'll probably keep 'er until '16 when they all get the update. Should be interesting to see what they do with the frame......

Why they running still DOCH on 250 and 350f? Is there some reason for that or just that they havent update

Engine designers have reasons to run 2 cams on engines that hit 14-15, 000 rpm.

Anyone had experience with the 4CS suspension?

The normal WP suspension always get bagged in the magazines as horrible (no first hand experience myself), is the 4CS that much better? Is it a rival the KYB SSS which has been top dog since 2006?

If it is top notch stuff, those KTMs will be the bike to own it seems.

..except for Honda. 2 cams makes sense at high RPM though...

Been waiting a long time for this change, should make a big improvement in the way the bike handles with the weight reduction...

. New aluminum o-ring support for the lower bearing on the steering stem for a weight saving of 22 grams and a new steering stem bolt, which is also 8 grams lighter.

I think the big thing is the new suspension. I rode a 14 350 SXF with suspension mods, and I wasn't exactly thrilled with the way it handled square edge bumps. Only did two laps, but still it wasn't what I had hoped for, especially since I'm in the market for a new bike.

This new stuff is the same as on the Factory Edition, so I hope it's improved over the old WP fork.

I have a 2013 and haven't had the suspension revalved yet. I think the forks seem fine for the first few inches then blows thru on rough tracks. On tracks without a lot of braking bumps etc, they seem to work fine. However I find it no worse than my past stock bikes.

orange and white was a bad move, imo. it just doesn't work as well.
