Edited Date/Time:
The limited edition concept has proven to have a market, and many feel there is better value in having the factory make the upgrades and not have a bunch of brand new parts left over by doing it yourself.
Should the factories take it further? Would you for instance buy a KTM/Husky with WP cone valves and trax shock for say $15k? Let's assume you will still save thousands over doing it yourself. Would there be a big enough market if Kit suspension was offered?
It seems odd to still have better upgrades left in the parts brochure.
On a related note, why don't we see a Factory/Works edition shootout?
