    contemplating a change?

    I am contemplating a change in machinery, again. I purchased the WEC 496 last summer and love it. I do believe that it is the best all around enduro bike made, but catering to faster terrain. Problem is that most of my local riding areas with faster trails have been closed to public access...

    Hi blokes. I've seen a 2000 FE600E which looks interesting but I'm wondering if anyone thinks the swap from my '98 FE600E would be worth it or even if it would be a good step? The bike would spend most of its time in motard trim, but would get dirty occasionally. I like my current pre-2001...
