Bro. What possible differences could there be that are worth that much money. The biggest plastic trophy in the world would be paid for many times over by all those pounds. That's a season's racing and lots of parts. Fuck that. 2018.
Cheers, Crush

Has anyone tried the two models?
I had a 16 which is pretty close minus the forks. I rode a stock 19. My 16 was better everywhere. I had an exhaust and a one tooth larger sprocket which i felt the 19 also needed. The frame changes are not enough for me to notice and the body work felt a little smoother in the 19.

Thank you for your answers . According to your comments, there is not much difference between the 2018 and 2019 models to spend that money difference.

Yesterday I was with a 2018 ktm 350 and the sensations were good ... I liked the response of the engine, I liked the way of driving and the posture, I also liked the brakes. One thing that did not quite convince me was the front suspension. .. I found it hard and dry. My arms were hard as stones ??? hands and arms tired and sore very soon. All these comparisons I am doing with my old 2013 yamaha yz250f that the suspensions had prepared front and back. Now my question is whether the 2019 ktm 350 sxf will be Better?

The forks are the same between 2018 and 2019. They may have changed some small settings but internally the forks are the same.

I keep thinking I want one! I’m one of those that want something between a 450 & 250! But the last Ktm I had I spent $1000 trying to fix the forks, & still ended up selling it ! Got a yamaha running stock suspension & love it! But again ready for a new bike!

Get a 350 and do a spring conversion in the front forks and you’ll be very happy
