Buying a 650 Enduro Converted to SM - No Suspension or Triple Mods

Considering buying a FE 650 that has a supermoto set up(wheels and tires).
The owner has not modified any of the suspension components, so it's running the enduro fork angle and whatever else is different from the FS 650 S.
What should I expect in terms of handling character given the bike has the enduro spec fork angle and suspension set up?
Better to just buy a FS?
I will only ride this 650 on the streets of San Francisco...no dirt.

Can you get a test ride?
What year model?
What price?
If you end up passing on the deal, can you PM me the contact?

Hi
I owned a brand new 2004 FS650 and other than the Beringer 6-piston front brake , wheels and slightly lowered suspension ( from memory about 20mm ) the bike was exactly the same bike as FE650 .
I do now own a FE650 2003 converted to a SuperMotard …… but it’s a whole other Story with KTM990 SuperMotard forks with twin Radial 320mm brakes , 2004 engine built to 670cc , full AKRO exhaust etc and I have lowered the bike Approx 30mm

I have a FS front end here, triples definitely appear to have less offset, which would make sense for all the reasons

I will measure and perhaps photograph them some time this week and post to this thread
 
It’s looking like 21mm offset for the 2005 FS650 triples, and from rough eyeball they do appear to be very similar
Can’t quite say same/same but yeah they look really close to the same

I should have taken an extended length measurement but I ran out of daylight to measure that and the FE550 triples
