That motor config? I don't pay heaps of attention to Enduro but nope, never saw it. Saw the Ossa, seen that Husabery plastic etc but not that motor.

I'm not in euro bro, don't judge me!

Yes, they used that engine on the Husaberg FE450 during those years. Not a very common bike outside of Europe I guess. So no worries if you didn't know. Guess most people don't even know they originate from Sweden, but as most succesfull Swedish companies, sold to a company outside of Sweden, slowly forced to the grave just to keep blueprints of engineering they can't figure out on their own.

I know that's one of the problems and that's no secret. But I also know you just said that to be an ass, and probably didn't even know you where partially right.

Niiice. I like it! The back end looks very much like the last gen Hondas, which is no bad thing.

If I remember correctly they kind of had that rear fender styling on the 07-08's didnt they? The 2016 is sick though for sure all I need to do is sell my truck,golf clubs,snowboard,yz250, and everything else I own so my wife will let me get one lol.

Very bulky on the filter side. Looks good though. Very thin seat, not much room for the shorter riders to make it lower. Saves weight i guess. Overall, I like it.

It was similar but not exactly the same. I always loved the KTM`s for their agressive modern look. Tongue only squawk would be putting graphics / numbers on will be a bit more tricky, but they always change up the graphics on the factory bikes so this will perhaps not be the same as what they will have at the gate at A1 or the gp´s.

The frame is beefier, cant wait to see the factory lads race it

Cairoli aint super big, i think the bike is probably lower than the 15 already? Imagine De dyckers big nougat seat haha!

I don't like the look at all :-( It reminds me of the older KTM's and a little like the new KTM Freeride bike. Gross....

The rear fender matches the front fender so good with those holes/lines.

Don't think it differs that much but Cairoli will most certainly run a lower sub frame than De Dycker. And different linkage. But that's not the option a consumer wants to do first thing out of the crate.

Yeah, the only set of airforks ever made by wp is on andrew shorts bike at mec, maybe they made another set, but the factory boys still trying to R&D , you have to wait a couple of years til you see KTM brings out the air for the production.

Still need to see some details. New seat and plastic is not what this is all about. How did they make it faster, I know new frame and engine, but what did they do and why? The FE's ought to be released any day now.

Of course they have a higher seat. No problem there. But what I'm saying there can be a problem for the riders that wants a lower seat. There wont be any seat left.

the retail value of my 2014 Husqvarna just skyrocketed!! That has got to be the ugliest bike I've ever seen. Cudos for ktm for always changing it up but the shroud all the way to the number plate was old school 97 Honda cr250... Super disappointed.. hopefully it changes or else I'll be headed back to the Japanese...
