It will be nice if they move away from being repainted KTMs. I would still take a 300 any day of the week.

worked on a few 2015's, not impressed with the hype and price tag.

I got to ride one a few years ago in some very sloppy conditions and loved the way it could be lugged or revved. In Australia everything is expensive and the KTM's are the same price as the equivelant jap bikes. At least we can road register them!

The FEs can be street titled. The 4CS fork was a last minute throw together and not fully tested. Not impressed with the performance. The fwd mount on the linkage bolt is easy to mess up, if you have worked on a KTM also you know what I mean. It has a nut with a flat side that barely engages and when you go to remove it if you don't heat ot up to soften the 20lbs of loctite, it will back off 6mm and bugger up the frame. There is also not way of holding it. Air box noise on the 4t bikes is still the worst in the industry. Not sure when KTM is also going to realize the tapered spline shifter is a crap design too. I have too many rides buggered up from a KTM shifter slipping and or break/ coming off. But, I get a lot of them in my shop so keep on buying them fellas and I will keep fixing em up :wink:
