Default 2004 ec 250 or 2011 ec 250??????

hi people,just after any input on what to do
i have a 2004 ec 250 which i'm more then happy with. would i benefit by getting a newer bike,that is the question!!!

I do alot of enduro riding, im just looking to to get that edge to improve my riding!


Is there any real benefit spending ?4000 on a newer model or getting my engine and carb set up on the dyno and getting my suspension professionally set up???
?600 VS ?4000

thanks lee

If you are happy with it I would upgrade the suspension and call it good. Newer isn't always better. I've made the mistake of "upgrading" only to find that I was faster on the old bike.

Default Just my 2 cents...

2011 will have a stronger pull.

To me the 2011 looks more heavy at lower speed and stable at high speed.

IMO a newer model is almost always a step up, but you won't find the magic your looking for without the engine,carb and suspension revalve mods to suit you.
