Yeah I think it looks awful. I didnt really like the looks of the '23 and up generation of KTM's, either. They grew on me though. The '22 KTM's were beautiful. Customize the graphics on the new one and I'm sure it will look ok. I just care about the performance

Gotten a few calls from dealers back this morning. Had one try to tack on $690 freight, $375 assembly, $499 doc fee, a $100 title fee and sales tax for an out of state buyer. 

On top of an MSRP that they were not able to tell me yet. Told them to get bent. 

 

Another dealer told me MSRP no fees for OTD price and wanted to know if I was willing to put a deposit down. I agreed and put down $500 on one.

I think they are both fugly.  It's hard to beat this one.

You need to book an appointment with an optometrist, ASAP! 😄

I may be all alone, but I think the Husky looks sweet! I looked at the specs and it shows the Husky has a lower seat height and 10mm less travel. Usually the FEs are the same and the production bikes are different.

I saw that. Last year was the first year the Husky fe had lowered suspension.

I'v  been told first week of December 2026, to be expecting delivery in the US at dealers. Although I am waiting to see if the US version will have a slip-on and some different suspension vs what the China release shows. Also no mention of the LITpro connectivity unit which i am a big fan of. 

 

  I dont think I will be paying $14,000 otd for graphics and a holeshot device I'll never use.  But, we'll know more tomorrow. 

Come on Rick, you got plenty of money.

Tough to spend $2-$3000 more for graphics and a seat cover over a stock sxf. Not sure its worth it this year.

Clamps, wheels, frame color,but the biggest thing is getting access to the new gen sooner.

Don’t knock us. We Vet Novices dump a LOT of $ in the industry. Even us 170lbs wet novices. At 62yrs old next month. I’m just happy to still be riding. Hopefully you will be too.

I actually like the blue seat and shrouds, but that's about it. Way too much going on with those plastics.
