Now that i have allmost finished my third bike this year, its time to Think of what to buy next.
i want an FE 70 degree. but i dno what one. currently have a FE450 -08 wich il sell next year.

390/450/570????
Lookin at what pros ride hard enduro with i suddenly had a cravin to get a TE300! but i Think im done with 2T, 4T is the **** i guess, or is it?

i love riding where u just cant rly ride. tight trails or no trails! but then i discovered the motard a bit and thought, i dont have that one. so in need of more space in the garage i want a bike with dual setup.

what one would be the overall best bike for Everything?

I tried all three prior to buying the last bike, for slow to mid trails either 390 or 450 is good, 390 was surpricingly strong for intended use, but when tried at a bit more open terrain it lacks power to the 450. 570 is very good for high speed trails or grovel roads, too much bottom in slow trails, it works but youll get a good workout from it, hilarious if you like grunt though. 450 was my fav.

Riding style and personal preference will decide. Ask to try other bikes while out there, what I did.

Get the FE570 a little top heavy but I love both of mine (FE & FS) I now have 5 extra wheels 21/18 , 3 17's 2 of are rear I can turn both into street or dirt. It's become a disease for Me.

Well. I got a r1 With 190bhp. And still climbing at least 200. So i noticed about myself, i never go third place. but im not an ole motox driver nor have i rode any enduro competitions yet. Thou i am goin GGN 2016. (for fun) i can hold The gas but i allways want it to be able to do more then i dare! So in this perspective, 450 or 570?

I would say 570.

I had a 390 and it was wonderful in the forest but too lame on open ground. I then changed it to a 570 and it works fine on gnarly terrain with a recluse and kick *** on open. A 450 is a bit more hot and don't have the same grunt and bottom as a 570, so I prefer the 570.

Gotta admit, rode Rainero's 570 yesterday for just a short stint in the parking lot. I'm hooked. On the lookout and saving funds. Still working up my 700 and 650, but if I were buying a bike . . . it's a 570!

You have a 700 kit on one of your 650s Goose?
Do they still sell those and aren't they a bit hard on the tranny?

Well, not yet. I've got a 105mm sleeve and a stroked 644 Crank. Bought it from another member with the caveat that it was purchased some time ago from JBS racing and was languishing in the members garage for some time.

Sadly, the piston that came with the "kit" is incorrect so I'm on the lookout for a good 105 mm piston and I'm not even convinced the crank will fit without modification.

Still, once my 650 is complete with the bearing mods and some other minor tweaking, I'm going to use my other 650 case to build the 700 (I think it should be closer to 710 with the stroker crank). I'm no mechanic by a long stretch and the 450 was my first complete build and it seems to running well.

I bodged my first shot at the 650 (rings i think) and am in the process of tearing it all down to try again (mismeasured ring gap or misinstalled oil ring - again, I think).

I can see the 700 being hard on the tranny pending the use. I'm likely going to utilize the rear wheel with cush that I have for the big berg. For sumo track days, I don't think the wear will be as excessive or as harsh as enduro where the resistance of mud and sand along with the "herky jerky" use of the throttle is more prevalent. I'm pretty sure, at least in my case, the tranny is not nearly as worrisome as the durability of the motor. :giggle:

I finally have the Behr wheels with cush on my 650. The front was still available but I had to buy the rear in pieces and the rim only came in black. I stripped polished and put it together.

Goose916 · Nov 8, 2015

that looks freaking good for a stripped and subsequently polished rim!

pollo · Nov 9, 2015

It's actually pretty simple. It was an anodized rim
You spray easy off on it and let it soak.
It them wipes off. You need to do it a few times.
Then it hand polishes back pretty quick as the anodize was probably done over a polished wheel

If you don't know easy-off is a oven cleaner
