Surprised this hasn't been posted yet, but it gives a pretty good idea what the SX will look like.

Is the great big side plate/blob of plastic a thing now? Hopefully the Japanese do not copy this design "feature"

It's a shame KTM (Husky) make it easy to change an air filter. How dare they.

It's easier to maintain the filter on a YZ250 than a 250SX? I didn't know it could get any better.

Current gen 4 stroke. Guess I should have clarified.

Same motor as the 17 husky tc250 with counter balancer and new PV? Word is the new KTM's drop this week. After reading that other article about KTM and 2 strokes I am very excited for the future.

Damn, I keep waiting for the 300XC specs!!! Since it is one of their most popular bikes, maybe that's why the speacs are released last???
