My old 04 SX250
Thing ran great until I broke the exhaust flange and there wasn’t anything to do to fix it besides replacing the whole cylinder.

That’s why I loved this bike a lot. They should all look like this again.

Agreed. That is near perfection. A very serious, classy looking machine. Love it!!

how do you find that acerbis X-seat? I'm tempted to try one as the standard foam just goes all sagged out and crappy too quickly.

I agree. Billy Laninovich’s bike from 2002 was the epitome of “clean”, to me...

Might have been a one-off weekend, because I’m 2003 they didn’t have black rims either.

The SXS models back in the day (in the 2000's) we're like the current FE models. Customers could buy KTM's with all the trick parts just like the factory team. The sxs models used to be really fast bikes and had a limited availability for the public.

The SXS bikes were really trick with better suspension, brakes, tuned engines and in some cases even different frames. The FE's are just stock bikes with some special graphics and anodized shit.
FE models are basically next years models.

Here is my 2002 SX 125 that I built. I had a 2004 SX 200 growing up and I always loved the way these bikes looked. I have a set of Ryan Hughes number plates and air box graphics to make it a replica some day.

The 05-06 KTM's were the best looking bikes they made.

3rd bike down ... THIS is what I see when I think KTM. It was in an era when a lot of manufacturers started to migrate to white so they bailed on it(as far as I figured...)

Please please please someone build a bike to honor the white plastic, blue graphic'd and orange framed bikes I always had such a soft spot for !!!

Yeah I know nobody will but I can hope ...

Copied the langston look as well on my previous 250. One of my first idols as a little kid was Langston on the 111, knew I had to have that bike. This is the closest I got to it!
