FE/FC 2014 FE250

Anyone rode one and how does it compare to the older Husqvarna TE250? Looking for a new bike for my son and wondering how the low end is since it has the xc/sx motor.

Even if I can find a FE350, it is just a bit too much bike for him, thus the FE250.

They don't have the low end like the TE's, they are more top end bikes.450/500's are low end.

How much less low end would you say?? I had a 2008 TE250, was ok if you are saying these new FE250 have less I will look at something else.

I've also heard from a guy who owns an fc250 that its pretty week on the bottom and they like to be ridden like a 125. He likes to ride a gear low pinned so he loves the bike.

Its a hopeless disease that my wife understands so I feel grateful and lucky everyday! Its mid 80's here today, a nice DS ride would feel good right about now!
