I want one!

Me and my buddies have been saying for years that the 450 was a little too much and the 250 wasnt enough and that we wish there was a 350cc motor. Now there is! I have always liked KTMs but never scored one due to the no linkage. Now I think I will definitly be scoring a new pumpkin for sure! Cool

Yes with less power, a stink bug rear end, and terrible suspension. But its red!

Ditto, has that old-school Honda feel to it.

Wallpaper-sized photos are up on the homepage.

Some of the plastic (including the white rear fender) reminds me of current Hondas.

WOW!!!!!!

Unreal looking scooter--KTM pulled out all the stops on that one.

Wish I was rich I would get one.

Well, they're touting Stefan Everts' help in developing it. I'm sure that's the team look, and production would be Red Bull and team sponsor-less.

Damn! Nice bike. How much does it weight compared to a CRF250?

Here's why this bike looks really good. It doesn't have basic looking hubs and silver wheels. It has graphics that are similar if not the same as the ACTUAL racers use on the KTM team. And it has all kinds of trick parts on it, like triple clamps etc. The President of KTM stated he wanted people to buy a ready to race bike.

Probably not much more. GuyB is right though, plastic resembles Honda a lot. Best looking KTM I've seen to date.

I have owned three Katooms and they were great bikes. Customer care in my experience was the best..........the big four could learn alot from KTM.............

We just have Kings up here! I wouldn't mind riding a KTM 2 stroke if it had linkage. The motors are unbelievable...

Aluminum is a little more tricky to weld!

See Steve, IMO this is the correct way to implement a white ass on a bike, this looks hot. The Honda is just too sedate looking to be messing with multi-color plastic.
