People complaining about the asymmetrical number plates..have you ever changed a KTM air filter? Grinning

So glad they finally ditched those ugly split plates tho. That was aesthetically the best move they’ve made since 16-18

Its not lowered because of the fact it was except for some small plastics changed the same model as the KTM and for the Pro's will not race an already lowered bike on the team. The 23 models from Husky will be lowered in the 450,350 model I know for sure but other than that I would be guessing. I think the best thing I like is just changing the shrouds on the Rockstar to make it white just like the 23 models will be. Looks good..

I do work for the importers for Tupperware, amongst others. I'm just finding it hilarious, after all the engineering, that all people seem to care about, the plastics. Was the same for the YZ release... have a look. The pages are only about plastics..."will these plastics fit my 2012?". Rarely does anyone mention actual performance upgrades of a fully revised new model. I think you know it's true!! If I look at further in the thread, it's mostly about plastics.

You can alter the performance of a bike your self whit out that much effort, but changing the shape (look) of a bike isn`t something thats possible for most of us.

The plastics are what gives each bike its unique look. Of course looks matter, they do for everything else. How many fat chicks are ig models?

Nobody here has ridden the new bike, all we can go by is what we see. When a new car gets released in photos, what do you think is discussed first the appearance or the gear ratio?

Great looking bike, IMO. The black/gold/white color scheme really stands out. I have a sentimental crush on Husqvarna from the old days anyway, and although it's a 100%, whole new situation now...I'm still a Husky fan.

The press release pics don’t look bad in my opinion but this looks so much better! I wonder if the 23 non FE shrouds will be white. I think that would be a sweet look.

Ok the team bike looks bad ass! I’m not a fan of that funny panel over the shock on the press release photos. Although with the clicker settings accessible to anybody’s fingers it kinda makes sense!

Air shock?

They'll most likely be white.

Personally, I always think the bikes look better in a natural setting compared to a studio. Bike looks pretty good.

This makes me really appreciate the looks of my '22 (in terms of appearance).

With the color of the plastics and graphics, for some reason I just can't stop seeing an MGD logo where the Rockstar logo is (probably have to be over 40 to understand that one). It will be nice to see the '23 model with traditional Husky colors/graphics.
