    Hey everyone, hoping I can get some good advice. I have an opportunity to purchase a 2019 FE350 with only 400 miles and lots of options added for $8500 (ridden by an older gent who changed his mind). In doing my research I see there is a lot of info about how the 2020 model is much better (power, frame, suspension) but I don't know if it so significant to warrant the $11,500 OTD price for a the brand new 2020 left on the showroom floor. I currently have a 2012 TE250 so either way i will be moving up, but is the 2020 worth $3000 more?

    Cheers!
    Doug

    What kind of riding do you do and are you planning on making modifications? Both bikes are extremely capable. Yes the 2020 has some updates, but that extra money for the stock 2020 may be better spent on some mods on the 2019 (suspension revalve, ECU, exhaust, etc).

    Yeah, either way, you'll be moving up. As SSPhoto mentioned, the 20s are a little better.
    $11,500 is a good OTD but in no way is it $3,000 better. Throw in some extra mods and you're in good shape at that price.
    Now lets say you decide to change your mind like the previous owner, you're only out the tax money. On the other hand, if you sold the 2020, you'd be out even more tax money, license fees and a hefty depreciation.
    In this situation, it's the 2019 for the win

    Yep the 20's are way better. Pretty blue frame, pretty black muffler, they're heavier, and they have a smaller gas tank.

    Get the 19 and let someone else take the hit on the new bike - and get a better bike.
