Opportunity to snag some and then resell for profit right before Loretta's?
Right. But that doesn't help us 350sxf guys
They did that last year with the 300 xc-w factory edition bike had the pro shock and cv forks
Everyone here when Chase, Vialle, and others had issues with KTM said the bikes are trash, the brand is dead and owned by Chinese BS....and now they put kit suspension on the FE and the same dudes are ready to sign a 72 month loan at 10% interest with $1000 down.

Somewhere out there is a 55 year old man sweating in his recliner while reading the article. Got the dealer on speed dial for tomorrow morning. 🤣
I’m in for $0.00 down and 28% interest for 25 years. It’s the Side by Side deal.
Those people are nerds.
Eli will be running KYB internals
They did? I'm pretty sure most in here dont make judgements on whether a platform is trash or not based on how the Factory bikes are performing. I could be wrong though
Wild the bike prices now. And if you want to compete in the “stock” class imagine being on a shit oem “stock bike”.
About time they did this. The fake factory bikes are kinda lame. Although I bought a few. lol
I hear you Chris and normally would agree, but going back to some of the threads with the shock issues and Vialle sitting out races, Chase running his own suspension, and other issues plenty were on the KTM sucks bandwagon. That is not even touching the financial issues and those threads
Incorrect. Did not have a Pro shock. Standard WP shock. It did have CV forks.
All the vet guys i know are paying cash, getting the discounts and have multiple bikes. Some of our kids have multiple bikes as well.
Instead of being bitter, put your nose to the grind and work hard and enjoy the good stuff. 😉
Sarcasm 101 my friend.
All good buddy
i’m a 350 guy and got tired of waiting so i build my own FE, i’m skipping this year and keeping my 25 another year!

IMO 14k for a moto bike is absolutely insane. And we wonder why there are less and less riders joining the sport.
It's your money though and I ain't mad at anyone that pays that much.
and half the parts made in China and India
I don't know about the whole "dirt bikes are too expensive" narrative. I look at the cost of trucks, trailers, and equipment I used in my business and dirt bikes are a relative bargain. Late last summer I bought a new left-over Beta 430RR for about 8k out the door, you can't even buy a decent hydro walk behind mower with decade old technology for that money. Refrigerators are a thousand dollars pretty easy now. Nobody is keeping it a secret where money comes from....
It's called inflation. Relatively speaking a 450 in 2026 is not that much more expensive than the same bike in 2006.
But i get your point, salaries haven't kept up with inflation in most of the western world during these 20 years.
Exactly, I remember spending $8600 on a 2013 rmz450. That’s like $15,000 today, and that was for an RMZ lol
You’re completely wrong about that..
I’m not 55, I’m 60!
J/k, not buying a new bike this year (except maybe a 250 smoker..) but this is the first KTM FE that’s worth the money.
I might have missed it, but are the forks air or coil?
Isn’t that the truth!
While superficial, I want an orange frame on my ‘24 350.
Their coil and if I remember correctly about three grand just the forks makes up the difference on the factory Edition it is a really good deal!
How much difference $ do you think it costs KTM to put those forks on.
It’s not like the standard forks cost nothing.
* I do think it’s a good value
If the 350XCF comes equipped the same, I may forego the upcoming KX 2 stroke and get an XCF.
I recently bought a 450XCFW and raced an enduro in Indiana with it last weekend, Bone Stock. Bike is much better than I am, for sure.
The FE with Pro components will be great when setup properly.
I can absolutely tell your age by the skateboard on the wall.. Not just the board, but the accessories on the board too. I am betting you had a few years in BMX as well?😎
It is absolutely rad you still have the board like that. 🤘
