My favorite KTM bar none. A great motorcycle thats really fun to ride. Had a long discussion with Shorty about the 350 at the last KTM dealer meeting. He agreed that is was the best bike for most riders.

It must really suck to come on here all pumped on a new bike and everyone tells you to wait for the '16. Though they are kinda right, but just get what you want. Youll be fine.

I had one for a couple months. Although a sexy bike, I had a love hate relationship. Suspension sucks, even after a few re-valves. Wont touch another ktm until they replace the 4cs forks. Bad design. Also, bike feels like it is hinged. I switched to a 15 honda, wayyyy better, well, after I put showa spring forks on it.

Good for you. You can always sell it, if and when the 16 comes out if it is that much better.

I'm 47 and just like to ride. I could care less about the small changes they might make for 16. I'm riding a 5 year old 250f right now and with e start and just being new I'm sure I'll like it. For the 4000 I'm probably going to save having the "old" bike , I'm sure I'll be fine

For reference the last new bike I bought for myself was a 2000 KTM 300 mxc. And no, that's not where my screen name came from

Exactly..350 SXF's make great woods racers and hold thier value because of the demand by offroad guys.

I have a '13, pretty much same bike. I like it. All my friends that have tried it have liked it also. You'll enjoy it.

I have a buddy with the 13. He does work on that damn bike. If I were to go back to a 4 stroke, it would be a KTM 350 or 450. It may or may not happen. But I will be waiting until I can find a used 16.

The 4cs forks are great on the xc models. They have lots of adjustability. The 350 is a blast to ride.

You won't buy another KTM with 4cs forks, but you're stoked on the Honda which you had to replace the forks on?

Huh?

Guys , what is the estimated power of the new 16' 350 SXF? And how much does it weigh , compared to the 450 , or most 450's? It's always been a bike in which I've wanted to test out. My Kawi 450 is just a damn brute with power and she aint all that light either.

Edit : BTW , when are the 16's supposed to hit the show room floors?
