Anyone ridden one yet? Debating on selling my 14(it might have 15 hours at most) to get a 17. What say you VitalMx?

Why to sell , the 17 is pretty much some bike ! Launch control and some small thinks is the only difference between 14 to 17 !

Actually, I've already had shops tell me they will give me $5000 for my bike the way it sits, and I will be getting a deal on the 17.

don't kid yourself, they are all the same at the end of the day. Buy a left over 15 or 16. So funny guys think they will go faster cause of new motor mounts

I wouldn't waste the money on a new yammie. I doubt anyone on here would go any faster on a 17 I'd pick up a 16 for 2k less . If your going to spend 9k buy a 17 ktm much better bike

Got one last week, put 4 hrs on it, love it. Coming from rmz450 2016, I immediately felt the forks much better, I also fit better , I'm 6'2" vet , set the handlebar in the far out position.
Just changed the rear sprocket, one tooth more, for the tracks I go I like it better.
Great brakes, quick engine.
Hope it helps

A friend of mine was nice enough to let me ride his '14. Its fast, powerful, and easy to ride. That being said, I really despise 450s and I suggest you get a 2 stroke Sideways

I'm 6'2 as well but a Jr vet. On my 14 I run the clamps in the 3rd position with the renthal 918 bend. I'm just putting my 14 up for sale and then I will be going to get my 17. Plan is to change the bars and put a 49 rear sprocket on as well as the fmf system off of my 14(it's still new). I'm looking forward to the new bike!
