    Anyone here switched from Italian to Austrian? Pros/Cons? Thinking of my next step from my 2010 WR300.

    Don't even hesitate to try a TE. Very good out of the crate. I sold my 09 Italian WR when the company changed hands and road a friends 2014 TE250 and fell in love with it while riding it on my clubs HS track which is NASTY, box stock. I sweep ride the course every year. I will be buying one in the future for CNCCs and HS. I started racing in 1974. I do not miss the red WR.

    FWIW, I rode, and raced (AMA Hare Scramble) my friends 14 TE300 and thought it was the best thing out there. Then I bought a 2010 WR300 and threw a Rekluse in it and seem even more impressed by it. The TE300 is a sweet bike, but I picked up- and fixed up- a WR300 for $5,500 less that what a new TE300 OTD would set me back. The WR300 feels faster (and is), even my friend agrees, but the TE is smoother and felt more refined. Do what your pocket book allows- if they were the same price, Id take the TE300, but since they're not, I'd rather see my $3,500 WR sliding down a rock face than a $9.5k chunk of steel and aluminum :eek: .
