no photos of the new bike ,tagged as a 2016 model?
but will be on it at A1.
at what time is a reasonable amount to get used to a new model.
is it supposed to be an alloy frame?
?any insiders here?

Any facts? How about this one. No one else will have access to this bike until after the SX series is over. Kind of like having a works bike exemption.....again.

Pretty much this with a 450, the cow is out of the barn. I'm still excited to see the 2015 KTM Factory Edition's. Several displacements. I wanna see the 360SX DI 2t the most.

Pretty much the same as Kawasaki fast tracking the new model for RV mid MX season because he wasnt feeling the current bike. Or Yamaha fast tracking the new model because Langston wasnt feeling the current model.

If the manufacturer is able to get enough units in the country early enough to pass the rules then good on them.

i hear the reason for zero photos of anyone riding them is because they are only being tested at KTM's sx track. Brayton has been testing it for about a month I was told, legit source, works for ktm so...your not going to see Wilson Instagram a pic yet.

I'm not so sure the bikes are actually here and for sale, more like MCO's I bet.

alloy framed? Dungey showed excitement in an interview about this future bike months ago.

Like others said. Dec 5th.

Pretty much all the teams (BTO, TLD, Red Bull) are actively riding the new bike already.

Did you see the recent photos of AC222's 350? That's also what the U.S. Team bikes will look like.

It's a redesigned steel frame.

The best OTD I could get on a regular 2015 sxf450 was $9000 including Illinois state taxes and doc fee etc.

I cant imagine how much the 15.5 factory edition will cost, all the other 2015 450s are around $7500 right now so at least 10 grand I cant see the ktm being 25% better than all the other bikes.

It will be interesting to see how Roczen will do on that warmed over 2009 Suzuki pile of scrap with its heavy weight, cheap bolts and craps clutch.

Hate to break it to you but Roczen won't be on a stock bike and even of he was, it's not the '90s anymore Huh

Yep, its 2014, right?? Unfortunately, MXA are stuck in 1975, and unfortunately many people take everything they write at face value without trying things themselves and then regurgitate what they've read as fact.

Maybe I am old.school that I remember moto forums about ride meets, reports and racing. Now it seems its all about complaining about the cost of bikes and then "the build" of a really expensive bike that never gets ridden.

Tommy Seattle (newly signed factory MXGP rider) just posted this pic of him riding the new orange bike today.

Post a reply to: any facts on Dungey's 2015sx bike?
