Smith246 Added a reply to 2027.5 FEs coming tomorrow
11/8/2026 10:05pm I'm in WA and put my order in last week. I have heard there are only 15 coming to our area which is WA, SA and NT. I don't like my odds with only that amount coming in but would like to know before they come if I'm actually getting one or not.

11/8/2026 8:44pm Does anyone know if you have a pre order on a factory edition do you get notified if you are actually getting one or do they just turn up eventually?

11/8/2026 6:26pm Do you mind me asking what feels so different than any other 450 you have ridden?

11/5/2026 7:53pm I'm on the allocation list for one now, not sure what that actually means but? Whether that means I will actually get one or not who knows.

I’ve got a newer KTM 450 FE (while unnecessary for an older vet guy like me) the bike is awesome (looking too). I wish they hadn’t updated the new one because now I am wanting one myself!

11/5/2026 3:43am I couldnt help myself and put my name on one, never had a factory edition before so why not. Dealer told me we won't see them till February here in Oz.

11/3/2026 4:40pm 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...

11/2/2026 4:05pm Ha ha this is me too. Been tossing up between this and the new Honda, literally told my dealer yesterday I'll take the Honda then wake up to this. Not sure what to do now 🤦♂️

I think the KTMs will be announced with the next week or so from what i heard. I Know its a new frame and some pretty big updates and the rumor is some form of Electric valving in the suspension.

10/28/2026 7:35pm Might have to wait a long time for one of them, first 2 at my dealer are already spoken for. Said he should have standard model available in December. Or if I want ktm factory edition get my name on one now, will no more about timing towards end of the year. It's a bloody hard choice 🤦♂️

Smith246 Added a reply to 2026 yz250f spring rates 220lbs
10/25/2026 10:57pm I am about the same weight and have a 27 model, it's an updated model but i believe they still have the same spring rates. I went up from 54nm to 56nm in the rear and put one 5.0nm in one side of the forks and im pretty happy with that. I will probably put both 5.0's in the forks...

10/4/2026 4:14pm Through my experience regen never really changed my battery usage but it would have a big influence on if the battery would run hot or not. I ended up settling on around 30-40%. And I also found that horsepower level only had an effect on battery usage when I would drop the power down to a level where it was...

Absolutely, your mileage may vary. It's hard to extrapolate the range you'd get from other riders, it depends so much on terrain, speed and riding style, it can wildly swing. Honda and Yamaha prototypes appear to have smaller batteries, don't know if they're conceived for quick swaps but that's the way newcomers like Bonnell or Dust are going, under 1 min swap.

10/4/2026 1:01am I think the biggest thing with everything battery powered is it can vary so much and you really won't know until you try it yourself in your own conditions. Myself and 2 close riding buddies all had or have starks, all for over 12 months and rode them in all sorts of conditions. We are all Vet riders and none...
