Everyone who has the FE or has one on the way - you need to invest in a Li Charger. Mine was no so perky and it is charging right now. KTM should have made one part of the package!!
Would love to have an expensive call girl on call - ha!! Two wheels are much cheaper
Clearly the guy has a concern about money as he brought up the $1000. Not that hard to figure out.
Nothing wrong with saving money and nothing wrong with having the same lap times as anyone on this forum isn't gonna lower their times by buying a new bike. If anyone believes they will be faster by buying a new model, then they are clueless or have never timed themselves.
Agree regarding enjoying their new toy, but this scenario is different because cost WAS/IS a concern. If it wasn't, he never would have brought it up, right?
Read back through and there are plenty of comments regarding cost of this particular bike. I paid $11,400 OTD. I could of almost got 2 YZ450fs for that. Who cares?
I, remember, I'm saying I, feel that KTM's build quality is excellent and if I pay extra for something I feel is better quality or I just plain and simple want , why do people feel the need for comments in regards to price? Is that the only thing they can find negative to post?
Enough bickering about pennies. End of day, we all enjoy riding so keep that in mind!

I'm a playride only two stroke guy but believe four strokes have their place as well (but not a double cc advantage in race class).
With that being said if I had the coin to own one of these as well I would be all over it. The factory editions have all been cool bikes but the latest versions are really impressive. What's the deal with the exhaust though?
In my opinion it's as about as close of a comparison to when the first elsinores came out as we have seen in a long time. Weight savings, performance, and looks all in one. The price tag stings a little but most things of this caliber do.
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten. Not that this quote completely fits here but there are sometimes you do get what you pay for.
I'm not as fast as I could have been since I split my time between school, career, family, etc and didn't put it in all the time at the track working on getting faster. It's finally paid off for me in that I'm financially comfortable enough to satisfy my craving by adding one of these to my garage and paying cash for it. It satisfies my desire to have it. That's the benefit. Kind of like building the bike with whatever parts I feel like adding to it. I don't need a single one of them. But I can have them and want them, and the money will do me no good in the grave.
The envy is strong around here sometimes. It's a nasty trait to have, and I'm glad I don't have it. Congrats to everyone else, who like me, indulged in what they wanted (whatever it might be)! Enjoy your purchase!

Stop taking the bait guys, you don't have to justify buying one of these to anyone but yourselves.. And probably your wives!
Ktm has been doing a great of making the big 4 look completely incompetent.
