Two completely different motorcycles. I had 05 and now 07 and even they are different by a bunch. Starting 06 have shorter stroke engine, starting 07 different frame, starting 08 different fuel injection and a number of other things. 05 is heavier but has a more planted feel.

I have a 2005 450 and now a 2010 EC300, and there is a huge difference in build quality and fitting. I havent tried the new 450, but I have tried a 2008 450, I did a small writeup here somewhere...Ahh, here it is: http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2615

The newer shorter stroke motor has better bottom end torque and what i believe is more linear power curve. I dont hthink there is a big power difference just how its delivered. At first i thought i liked the 05 better but after just abit of time you realize the newer bike is better. If it was me i'd pay 9k for a new one before i'd pay 2k for an 05 and thats what i think the 05 is now worth.

Is there really a 2010 FSE or FSR or EC450? Thought that had gone the way of the dinosaur!
