The 350 SXF is

Bigger question is, what are those two doing compared to sales of the previous Big 4's offerings. Might be hard to compare since KTM offers so many different models to the Japanese's one 450 only approach.

They should look at resale. I got killed on my 350. Worst lose I took on a bike in my life.

Resale has been good. Alot of woods guys are buying the SXF also. My guess is the 350 is a better all around bike than the 450. The 350 is even outselling the 300 right now..that is saying something. The 350 XCF is pretty much sold out.

I think the first two model years of this bike had such a bad reputation, I'm not surprised you had to take a bath on it to get rid of it. The '13 model sounds like the bike everyone was expected when it was first announced, I know it has my interest after reading reviews of it.

I had a 350 XCF and trust me people are not buying them used, well at least not in my province. Seems like everyone is buying them new but wont even consider them used. Mine was a 12 and I got killed on resale. Bought in June, tried to sell it at the end of july and couldn't even get a tire kicker to call me about it. Bike out the door with taxes and all that stuff was close too 10g Cnd. I put fmf titanium exhaust, Rekluse core Exp, Cycra Hand guards, Bullet Proof Designs Rad guards, Skid plate. Finally managed to sell it for 7g.

I did ride the 13 and even though I did hate my 2012 350, the 2013 was dramatically better in every way.

I am seeing the older uints sales pickup also. Like I said alot of woods guys are buying those bikes. They were definatly softer last year. As more of the bikes actully got into customers hands the sales started to pick up. I would trade for any 350 right now. The 350 Husaberg I got in didn't last a day.

Gotta feeling if you totaled up all 350 sales..SXF,XCF,XCF-W,EXC and the Berg 350 it would be an impressive number. Anyone want a deal on a 450 SXF or 300 XC...lol?

Holy Smokes, I cannot fathom being into a Dirt bike for 10k...

I just bought a perfect, blinged out 05 KX125 for 2K, and yes its a almost 8 years old, But hell i can could go buy 4 more of em for that price.. Sorry, i know the new KTM's are sweet, but Damn. 10K

I'm sure all KTMs are selling well.

It doesnt take much to outsell the KTM 450. it probably only outsells the yamaha.

Not sure where you are getting your figures from but "killing" the 450 may be a little strong...
Are you talking from one dealership or nationally?

I have noticed that bikes are a lot more in Canada.

They spend/earn a lot more up there...My wife's uncle lives in Alberta, every time he comes down to the states he's buying a new truck, camper, trailer. Some how he brings them back across the boarder, uses them for a year and then sells them for way more than he paid for them. The oil fields pump a lot of money into the economy, I'm too old now, but if I was in my early 20's I would go up there and work for a couple of years and be set for awhile.

Have you been talking to my mom. I don't want to live in Fort mac mom, leave me alone. Lol

Area wide for sure..as in east, southeast, midwest. But my rep says nationwide total thats the case. But every region is different and the 450 may be stonger is some places.

To be fair: '13 is the 1st yr that the '450 has had a fair shot. The old 450 was a hold over and the '12 RD5 Replica was less than qty 400 available to dealers...& it was late.

Furthermore, the new 450 is soooo new that NOONE in the after-market seems to have it all tricked out & dialed in...other than KTM, that is...I mean this in comparo to the fully tricked out Kawi & Honda that you'll find in EVERY magazine.

The KTM450SXF is an awesome bike.

The 450 is definatly an awsome bike. After I rode them at the dealer meeting I ordered 450's heavy. LIke I said its still early and the deal with the 350 is those units started to get into customers hands and other riders got to ride them and that started the sales. The same thing will most likely happen with the 450. 450 XC-W sales are strong also and that bike has been out for a year.

If you sold a used bike for 7g you actually did good. Doesn't matter how new it was. I see lightly used bikes fetch about half of new cost regardless of brand. All the aftermarket accessories in the world will usually add a big fat nothing to resale. I have put several of mine back as close to stock as possible when they wouldn't sell and got damn near what I was asking for it with all the extras on it. Sold all the a/m parts on Ebay. Came out way better. I have a couple bikes I refuse to sell just because I have way too much a/m crap on them...LOL. They are worth literally nothing but have thousands and thousands of extras that are also worthless due to the age of the bike. I doubt a japanese bike would have gotten a better return.

All I can say is I have never lost close to as much on my 2 strokes. I get a new bike every year, so Im pretty aware of how resale goes, and I always list mine on the lower side cause I want to get rid of them. At the time my bike was lowest priced In my province and the 2 next to me. Mine was the hands down best deal. I couldn't get anyone to look at it, couldn't even get low ball offers. Took the first offer I got.

I totally agree that extras don't add to value of resale but I had so little intrest in the bike I was leaving everything on it hopping someone would see how good of a deal it was. I was a week away from listing it with my DUBYA wheel set lol.

Whats your OTD price?

On a 450 SXF ??

If I didnt have a 2012 KTM 450SXF, Id snag a 2013 350SXF. Id like to have both. Oh.. and a 250SX with the 300 kit on it... lol

I hope to speak with my wallet someday in the near future and buy a KTM. They offer so many cool, high quality models. That, or just win the Motosport Ulitmate Ride Give Away contest... *fingers and toes crossed*

alberta is skewed because of the oil rigs. lots of money to be made there. contemplating going out myself once i finish my eng degree. but bikes are a lot more here. usually about a grand with ktm and i think the other manufacturers are similar. and thats with a close to par dollar.

My next bike will most likely be a 350 SXF.

How to buy a bike in Alberta:

Take a Vacay to a Cali-SX, buy a bike while ur here, ride it while ur here. Ship it home.

$8200 OTD. Unless of course you are a resident of MS. Then there is 7% sales tax.
