Anyone know when they will be out and any dealer's that still have one available. I spoke to 3 pretty good sized dealers and they are already sold out of their allotment (usually only 2 tops)

Should be coming in two shipments. One in February and another sometime after that. The allocations from KTM have already been done so dealers should know what they're getting for inventory.

As for finding a dealer that has one still available, you're going to have to simply call around. Deposits came in pretty fast. I work for a shop and someone beat me to the first deposit so I'm getting our second bike.

Good luck,
Shane

we've got a long list for each and deposits on all the ones were getting. There will always be a dealer that somehow can't sell the things though, we're told the first batch will be early Feb the next will be march sometime, so the same info

I was able to get a 450 through Performance SuperCycle in Cookeville TN. They said the 250's will be showing up some time probably in February, and the 450's would be sometime in March most likely.

Winchester Motorsports in NH, Freedom Cycles in NH, Mason Racing in NH all had one available. They've been calls on them but at that point nobody had put a deposit on them.

4-5 months and a pretty serious cost savings.

Your call.

I'm waiting...besides...what could I possibly know that would make me wait...?

The '15 FE will be the same bike; however, the FE will have some extra goodies, the cool seat, Red Bull graphics...yada,,yada, yada...

The '16 I'm talking about is the SXF production bike. I'm thinking it'll be a few dollars less and may even have some differences and/or improvements.

Also, I'm guessing $10K plus for a FE & $9K for a '16

You'd have to assume so seeing that's been their pattern for all these years.

Ktm really hitting it out of the park. Can't wait to see the 2 strokes. The ktm 250f guys are doing real well. I wonder how much of this is due to the bike.

Just watched the 15 FE first impression vid on vital frontpage and I really liked what I saw and heard.
Does someone know if something similar is available in Europe? Has anybody else rode the bike and have some opinions on the ergos and overall feel of the bike, maybe compared to a 450 Honda.
I've been riding Hondas for over 15 years straight and own a well hop up-ed 2012 right now and I'am looking for a new bike. I've been liking the Honda because of the ergos, I just feel like one with the bike like with no other, the bike turns, feels light and all but in stock trim the Honda doesn't perform well. I have been riding 450 Kawasakis and Yamaha they are OK, but feel big and heavy compared to Hondas.
The old KTM (recently tryed a Husky) felt tall and heawy, not as wide as KX and YZ, but it was hard to lean to turns on braking bumps and tricky ruts. I know that I never took the time to get used to the KTM, but it felt like I sat really high from the ground and really had to make an effort to feel one with the bike.
From the video I get the impression that the new KTM feels different in this aspect that annoyed me the most on past Austrian bikes.
