    Should be same as KTM 500EXC US DS version. Mags say it's detuned a bit, but completely rideable in stock form.

    So the question is...more than a KTM, less, or same price?
    It's $10,099 for the 2014 EXC while 2014 FE 501 is $9399, 2014 500XC ~$8700-$8900.

    If that is indicative, then white plastic is gonna cost you.

    Survey Sez?

    Husky's cost $50 more. Can you get a better deal on a KTM? Probably. There was short inventory for the 2014 Husky's and that helped keep the bikes going closer to MSRP.

    Well my experience was just the opposite. I was able to buy the FE501 cheaper than a 500xcw and the FE has better components IMO. I expected the dealer to stick close to MSRP on the Husky due to limited inventory and deal more on the KTM but nope just the opposite. KTM even had a $1000 rebate going on and it was still higher than the FE501 deal. Made me scratch my head too but in the end I got what I wanted. Either bike can be made street legal in my state so the EXC was never an option for me since the emissions crap costs an arseload to undo and get the bike running properly and turn signals aren't required here either.

    No, we aren't, but you still have the choice of the already street legal 500exc or the already street legal 501s.
