The Husky looks worse.
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.

Coming from the guy with the dumpster truck…
I think it's the sexiest truck on this planet.
You need to book an appointment with an optometrist, ASAP! 😄
I think so. 2 strokes will get updated too.
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 went last year and had 20/20
Do you have an ounce of humor in you? lol ESR Eddie vibes
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.
Right? My attitude is im paying for the damn thing. Fuckit, I have the money to buy exactly what I want.
I actually like the blue seat and shrouds, but that's about it. Way too much going on with those plastics.
Pit Row
too much orange. I like the real one better.
Pretty soon those radiator shrouds are gonna be like two spears coming out the front. How long are those things? You can probably get grey or orange Husky shrouds to fit, maybe.
Love the black forks. Hopefully comes with those LOL
‘23 model? Nice
5.5 lbs heavier than the standard 2027 KTM 450
11 lbs heavier than a 2017 KTM 450
7 lbs heavier than the 2027 CRF 450 WE
Interested in the first ride reviews (weight isn't everything, just observing).
I had 2 sets of black cone valve forks. They do look good, when they are new. But after a year, especially with roost from a mx track, they look like crap. Unless they have a newer type of coating, I’d steer clear !
5 pounds could easily be the graphics, seat cover, skid plate, disk guard, holeshot device and the forks being spring over air.
I wonder how much this exhaust weighs. I hope Akrapovich or FMF have something waiting when these things hit the street.
1.7 pounds lighter than the 2026 fe which also has spring forks. CC forks are about 4 lbs heavier than aer.
I have to agree, I really want one but I just don't see the value in it this year, besides getting the bike a bit earlier.
It definitely has some bling and cool factor, and if that's enough for someone then I say go for it. But for me the only part I see adding any performance over a standard model is the triple clamps.
I definitely want one but think I'll wait for the 28 350 instead.
