I have the 18.5. It's taking me a little time to get used to it as I'm coming off a 17 TC250, but I really like it. Congrats

Bike looks great but show me any factory Rockstar Husky running blue hubs and triple clamps.

That’s a complete oversight IMO.

Blue hubs and triple clamps look great on the standard bikes though.

I think that’s why it’s called the rockstar edition and not the factory edition. Tongue Tongue

Was never a fan of the Husky bike...... With the detail they are putting into the RE models. Fantastic looking ride sir!

Ride report so far:
One day at cahuilla creek.
First off, the day I picked the bike up: it looks way sicker in person. All the blue sets the bike off.
Secondly, the bike is so easy to ride and easy to ride fast, if that makes sense.
The motor, I could practically ride in 3rd gear around the whole track. In the corners you barely feather the clutch and you have the power, then it just pulls and pulls.
Very stable and planted in turns, and goes exactly where you want it to go.
Light in the air and easy to move around.
I was very comfortable from the second Moto on. It definitely differs from the 18 I had, but I haven’t ridden a 19, so I can’t compare the 2. Love the new machine for sure! Woohoo

Wouldn’t “Rockstar Edition” kind of indicate they want it to look the bikes that are being raced by the factory teams? All of which run black hubs and triple clamps.

Yeah that’s my bad....lol
I meant to put black triple clamps and raw billet hubs....lol

The OP’s bike looks great, I like the new Husky’s. I just think the blue billet looks out of place on the Factory Edition.

I've had mine for a cpl of wks but the weather has sucked and I was finally able to ride it today for 3 quick easy break in motos before it started pouring and I must say I'm very impressed with it. It definitely feels different than my 18 KTM 450FE. The motor is definitely smoother and more user friendly. I love the ergos of it and I know it's the same bike as my KTM was but it feels different if that makes any sense. Having the Motolab dyno tune it on Wednesday and I'll be very curious to see what it's got and how much can get out of it because my 18 450FE had almost 4hp more than the 3 Rockstar 450s that he tuned last yr.

Did you cut the muffler shorter or is that a 250f muffler? Notice any difference over the longer one?

Hey Danny, how's it going? It's the pipe/combo from my 18 450FE and based on my convo with someone at FMF and my guy at KTM I cut it 2.5" and then had it dyno tuned so I'm not sure about the stock length numbers. He picked up 2hp earlier and 4 in the middle and 2 up top when comparing it to the other 3 other 18 450FE's that he tuned and I brought one along with my bike so I saw the numbers first hand. My bike had more HP on the first pull for baseline numbers than the other 450FE had completely tuned. His started at 54.01 and mine started at 56.23 and his ended up at 54.85 max and mine ended up 58.77 max. His was stock with a full PC pipe and he runs 93 pump gas and mine was also stock but with 2 stroke filter cage, modified airbox and I run Renegade SX4 fuel.

Thats awesome, ive been holding off on getting a pipe for my 350 because the fmf’s look longer then stock, the shorter one looks way better. Who did you have tune it? I need to get my bike done soon, i rode it back to back with my dads 17 350 and my 19 was pretty lazy feeling.

Working on a buddy's new Rockstar 450 today and in my humble opinion my bike looks way better the stock Rockstar 450. Just my 2 cents :-)
