What have you heard about it ML? I'm guessing it will be an all new bike again. I haven't seen Sleeter riding it yet, but they have gotten pretty good at diguising the new bikes. Have you noticed it around? I can't wait to see the regular husky version when it comes out.

Are you trying to have someone put a hit on Michael? He probably won't say a thing without waterboarding him.

If the suspension isn't much/if any better on the FE bikes, why spend the extra money at this point. Basically team graphics, an exhaust system, and pretty anodized parts don't cut it.

Wouldn't a stock non FE model with suspension work be better at this point?

Back when only the FE model had the new better handling chassis, I could see it. Are they really worth it now?

This FE will be like the ones you're talking about, it'll have new chassis, bodywork, engine stuff, etc... so it's your chance to get the new bike six months before the standard one comes out.

So far, that's happened twice with the FEs...the first one Dungey rode we called the "Dungey edition" in 2012 and again in 2015.

Only if you don't want to wait for the regular version. With the FE you get the new stuff 6 months earlier. Edit opps ML beat me to it.

I wish they'd come out with a 350 FE. I'd buy one in an instant. I picked up a 17.5 250 FE a couple months ago and love it! My best friend was a diehard Yamaha guy until the day he rode my 250 FE. The next day he bought a 17 450 FE for himself and couldn't be happier.
