So it's KTM's version of a TT-R? But in Two Stroke Version and full size? Looks cool.

Wow, KTM does it again and again and again and.... you get my point. The ultimate "play" bike...depending on the cost... Should bring back the joy of trail riding to a significant population not wanting the demands of a race bike. I'd love to have one...

If it falls in line with other KTM's, can it be made street legal?

That pipe is funky, wonder if this is the $4000 entry level bike we've been dreaming about.

with the "freeride" in the name, i'd guess not, its going to be along the lines pricing as the other freeride bikes, the 350, etc

Looks more like a $9000 trial/dual-purpose hybrid. I can't wait to try one though.

If it's cheap enough, great option.

It looks like it would be fun in tight woods, but after a while I would probably miss the punch of a motocross oriented two stroke.

i had a ride on a freeride 350 last year, and to be honest i was a little disappointing, i was expecting more of a trials bike feel, and with the four stroke it did not have it, I think with a 2t motor it would have that feel,

it was a pretty cool bike for certain appilcations already, having 2 motor options will be better,

I have been searching for a bike for my girl! A toned down smaller, lighter, 2t sounds perfect. Thank you Katoom!

Only problem I've seen with them is that to struggle to get 90/100km's to a tank or there abouts. Really small tank on them to do anything useful.
