...On the 2017.5 250SX-FE instead of using Alex's number. Just would have been a nice move by KTM to honor their guy by shipping those out with the 13 on them again.

The 2016.5 250SX-FE:

That would have been really cool, but he was in their team photo shoot, so they are definitely still supporting him.

that deff would have been cool. i think i saw somewhere on here hes still listed as one of the riders for the team? also that he has a job once he decides to come back.

it would be awesome to see a 13 under the tent at the sx rounds

There are way to many people that would not want a bike with the superstitious #13 on it. But it would be awesome show of support for Jessy!

I just don't see a bike with the #13 selling well because racers are very superstitious and considering what happened to the guy who ran the number, you'd be adding fuel to the superstitious fire.

Nice tribute but not a smart way to sell bikes.

Glad to see Troy, Tyler and the boys at TLD keeping Jessy part of the team. Shows the class of Troy, his team, and his company.

Totally agree, that vital member bike fixer upper extraordinaire that has obviously been around paint fumes too long is the only person I know crazy enough to run that number and be proud of it to boot for a long time.

I think it's kinds dumb that they ship with numbers on them anyway. Plus how can you call it Factory Edition and it doesn't even have a basic skid plate? That's not factory.

It wouldn't be factory if it did have a basic skid plate. It's just a marketing designation.

i don't even consider myself to be superstitious, but after seeing what happened at that race (I was there) I'd never want a bike with #13 on it! It was on Sat August 13th and he was running #13...do do do do do do do do (supposed to sound like the twilight zone haha)

If I bought one, I'd strip all the graphics off anyway.

Pay more to advertise some companies? Thats what bros and posers do.

Why does a factory edition bike have a stock head pipe on it?

I was thinking this too. Maybe jessy didn't want 13 on the bikes anymore?
