considering a 2008 FE450

Hi all,my first post,i am considering buying the above model and although I have found some internet info it's '08 era,
what should I look for?
what's the pit falls and known issues.
Are they sweet handling or a bit heavy etc.
my present ride is a Beta 300 Rr 2 stroke which I really like and this bike would be an additional bike,probably for mainly trail riding / greenlaning,I doubt I'd race it as the Beta is my racing choice,
do they ride like a KTM450 exc of the same era? power delivery etc as I have ridden a couple of them .
are they pigs compared to the 70 degree 09 bikes for example.thanks in advance

I don't mean the 70d are pigs I mean is the 70d bike a sweeter handling bike.I like 2 strokes but I think 4t probably make better all round greenlaners,but 4T's are heavier to lug around than 2T's ,some 4T's feel heavier than others so I wanted to know is the older model is good in the knarley stuff as we ride a lot of single track and dense woodland type terrain,I like a bike to have lots of low down grunt to float the front up over rutts,standing water and small fallen tree trunks like I can on my 300RR,it's no good to me having an engine that has to be spinning hard to get into the kind of response I like as it will be going too fast by then.
I don't want the extra lay out £££ wise to get a 70d bike as I won't be using it much and just fancy having it for when I want a lazy day.

well I bought one,lets hope it's a good decision
