Ha!

I think what we need is a VitalMX KTM 150SX Sweepstakes. You know the kind where you send in as many entries as you want, what do you think GuyB?

Newmann, I officially hate you. Got the Mugen bike in the background, all these other cool bikes, plus a brand new 150sx-bastard, dirty rotten bastard. Just jokes. I'm totally envious!

Depends on what mood I'm in when it makes it into the spraybooth. Planning on orange. Semi-team replica. Red Bull sure has everyone scared to print a one off set of graphics here in the US! N-Style sells a factory KTM team graphic kit that in no way shape or form resemble the team graphics. Too funny.

I've been on a selling spree this year, seven bikes and some frame kits gone so far.. Wife says I have to finish the garage this year since it's been seven years of procrastinating. She put her size 6 foot down! Figured I better get the 150 over and done with before I have absolutely no money left.

Can't wait for the review on that bad boy. Congrats on keeping your scorecard clean on the home front!

Have you even ridden that thing?! Heck, I figured you would have at least got the tires a little worn before tearing it down.

Tearing a new bike down is the best thing you can do. You have to be a tool to trust factory lines.

I think that silver looks terrible. Better off going with the orange or black.

No doubt it will be stellar when you are done.

If you plan on going full on nutsy and replacing the tank too I might be interested in purchasing your stock tank.

Keep us posted.

Hey now, it already looked good! But now that you've gone and done it ... might as well go red & white.
