Thinner(shorter) would be nice but they already very thin. I thought about sending mind off to Fisher seats and have it lightened widened and softer foam maybe. But not sure if it would help.

Guts racing will make taller seat foams very soon for the 12's. I e-mailed for them couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for posting Clay. Might be time to call Rich!
I have heard that Husaberg is about to "kill" the the bike and frame they have developed and will adopt all of KTM's bikes...I hear that a 350 Bergie is about to be presented during this month. Why buy a blue KTM ?

For the guy that does not want to drink the orange kool aid.
Blue cream soda is always better.

Well the reasons are simple. The Blue KTM had CC forks and had some differences from the "Orange Engine" that made it stand out. Plus with the yellow frames they are sexy!

Now rumors of some kind of jacked up fork, same engine as "Orange" siblings are starting to float around. I am no longer liking that bike if the rumors are true. They were different just like my beloved gassers I have owned.

So with Clay stating that the 13 e-start 300's might be here in August has for sure caught my attention. I am going to sit back and see what both companies do in August and then I will make my decision. I have always been a loyal gasser guy until I bought that pig of a Berg FE 450. As gasgasman stated on my FB page....I never "jelled" with that bike.

I think the seat is fine as far as feel, at least so far. Problem is keeping it on, lost it again today and that was with the bolt snugged down good! Good thing I carry extra bolts. I think the plastic inner fender and seat base flow or flex and the bolt loosens easy. I'll bet this is the seat change on the '13. I'm going to do the top bolt mod ASAP.

Robby,

This bike is freakin' awesome, you will not be disappointed. I rode 60 miles today on everything from high speed G out trails studded with small rocks to rock gardens and the bike just works. Sucks up everything you point it at. Forget the smurff pumpkin.
