Most KTM and Husky owners are literally like the new Harley riders of the MX world, they get triggered like a transgender democrat would.( although if I paid that much more for a bike I would be in a bad mood too )

Shit cracks me up.

But hey if your happy with it good for you, just don't have to get all butt hurt and defensive like someone called your wife fat or your kid ugly when someone says they don't love a KTM, LOL.

I will say this they do look good.
Hahahaha, I like you, insults, politics (with sexual undertones) and throwing the wife and kids in there......all in a few sentences.

Ahh. The jealousy and envy is thick in here. Like KTM or not, the FE is a fantastic bike. And for those of us who like to trick out our bikes. With OUR money. That WE earn. The extra $1,000 or so over the standard model is a bargain. Anodized Wheelset. Titanium Akropovic silencer. KTM's own version of the X-trig ROC clamps. Exclusive graphics. Chain. Sprocket. Holeshot device. Disc guard. You couldn't touch that on the aftermarket for $1,000. All the bikes are great at this point. From the bargain platform like the Suzuki that you can personalize as economically as you choose. To the extravagance of the Honda WE, Husky RE and KTM FE. We live in good times. You buy what you want. And I buy what I want. It would be pretty boring out there if everybody rode a blue bike. Or red bike. Or green bike.......ENJOY.
exactly!

I like most of your posts but you post in this thread for the reason of making fun of people who buy a KTM and also to say they are junk while sounding like a 5 year old. Not a good look bruh!

I currently own 2 KTMs and I'm not in a bad mood whatsoever Smile

This.

I don't own a KTM, but any brand that can steal an entire market in a 15 year period is doing something right. You don't gain all of that market share without putting out a good product.

I dig the look of the 19.5 but I'll always have a soft spot for the first FE. Maybe it's because it was a new thing back then or maybe I just dig the pumpkin orange/black combo on the factory bikes. I'm glad to have one still.


So people already forgot that the way the KTMs and Huskys now look came first on the FEs last year? Thats when the major change was, then you get incremental upgrades until the FE unveils the next model upgrade in a couple years.

My favorite is the husky with KTM side panels. Does anyone know if you bought a KTM subframe if you can do this? It would have to work right?

You get what you pay for, in the fred durst voice " It'll be okay"


but honestly tho, anyone got any experice with this xact stuff is it a midvalve, a conevalve, are forks and shock setup for mx or sx? what lb is spring rated for? The coating on the lower tubes looks different than stock aer 48 and so do upper tubes slightly, also shock bladder is different than production 19 version. Any one got any info on this.
below is a pic that shows lower tubes.

all this stuff needs to be answered

WP Rebranding

This is a overview on the new names.

I have the Husky, and it seems that the FE's have neither of them. Is the 5548 model, which have closed cartridge an aer technology. No cone valve.

Basically the same fork and shock with a new name. The Xact is the standard fork and the Xact Pro is the Cone Valve.

I believe all your getting with FE is
anodized hubs, clamps & sprocket
full exhaust
FE graphics/ seat cover. A FE vin is the only way to re order those graphics.

Now that's interesting! Probably require a new airbox and seat as well, and good luck finding a graphic kit that works. But I like it!
