FE/FC FE 250 or EXC-F 250

Going back to dual sports. Now best I can tell difference's are PDS/Linkage and plastic sub frame or aluminum. Other than that am I missing anything ? This could come down to a coin toss over what one to get.

Husky's have went with a different tuning (softer) both with motor and suspension on other models. This may be the same with the DS models. I prefer the linkage and white plastic. Otherwise pricing would be the next factor in buying.

The Husky has a little bit higher price tag but that's about it. Not sure about that subframe. She wants a Beta 125RR-S and I don't want a plated smoker. Guess the new forks are good but I have a guy for that anyways.

Beta 125rr-s is not a smoker and the subframe has been proven durable. I can buy the husky cheaper then the KTM.

Who said it was a smoker ?

Your third sentence referenced smoker right after the Beta

I now know the difference and they are more than I thought.
Clamps, fork preload and wheels.

If you want to dualsport the bike, the aluminum subframe on the ktm would be easier to fit a tail rack.
If that's not an issue for you, price and resale would be considerations win win imho

Was just a little surprised how they cheeped out on the KTM. I wanted the Husky but Mama wasn't pleased with the Red one. Today we really liked the up grades on the Husky and it only 100$ over the orange on next to it. After we get her the Beta I will get the Husky.
