I am considering buying a 2005 FE650E. While doing research, I came upon this site, thought it is exceptional, and decided to join. Thanks for adding me. I stopped riding dirt almost 2 decades ago and sold my XR600R. Recently my son is riding enduro type riding in the northwest region, and I got a used CRF250X to try riding again (I'm retired these days and get to go visit him more often). I greatly enjoyed the small size and electric start, but I can't adjust my riding style to the small motor. He has a Beta 480RR and is in the process of getting a Husqvarna 701. I am hoping this will be a great source of info should I end up with the 650. Thanks in advance for all your shared info and advice.
