The new rear fender on the '11 Katooms is the worst in recent history. The front fender is all angular and ugly and the rear fender is completely round like a 1970s suzuki? Looks even worse when this happens:

Yeah the fenders are pretty awful. The worst is when they get loaded up with mud and they flap around like a limp d**k

Of course, I'm a little biased.

I agree, they are great looking bikes but the front fender looks like it's off of another bike, especially compared to the rounded off rear fender. I mean, the front fender even has a brace!

Not really feeling the front fender but I love the look of the rest of the bike.

I like em, dont like the price. But there are well built machines for sure. I would have bought an 2011 450 if it had EFI, maybe next year.

The front is the same as it always has been for the last 3 - 4 years.

Personally I think they look great but if they came out with some black rimmage I'd be putting my deposit on one right now!Evil

Why not complain about the BNG on the NEW 2011Japanese? That's right, they are investing in updated the graphics, right...and the NEW KX250F separate chamber forks? Yeah KTM had those years ago on their bikes and I believe still on the current model 65SX. Back to topic, boy those fenders are ugly...

I liked the front fender better in it's last iteration. Ya know, the one that actually had a brace on it. I thought it looked great. I don't care for the new style with the deep crease down the middle......still far and away the best looking scooter around though.....

Now if only they would make the 380 SX again.

I think the rear fender looks fine. The front fender just needs the bend changed. If it had the bend of something like the 08 CRs or KXs then it would help. The KTM bend is similar to Yamaha's new front fender bend (the smashed front end look).

I absolutely love this complaint. Way back when KTM went to the "snake tongue" fender, EVERY magazine railed on them for it because it was ugly. NOW, every manufacturer has a form of it. Boy the time change.
I'd take one in a heartbeat!

Its the same front fender since 2007 on the sxf's why are you complaining about it now. I have lots of pics of me jumping my 2011 250 sxf and my back fender has not bent like that once, I have a feeling that PJ Larson rides his bikes a little harder then the rest of us.

Same front fender as the last 5 years. And there is no brace.
