I know several dealers who stated the 250s didn't sell very well.

I win the I WAS WRONG award. The throttle body on the bike in Vegas was not the one I suspected it of being. The one I was talking about was tested two years ago and from my current knowledge is no longer being tested or was put on the back burner...

The one I was talking about wasn't the same as a R&D body, it was a two piece gate.

The one one the bike at Vegas looked a lot different due to the new body layout for this bike.

The FMF pipe is very fugly looking, does anyone know who I can contact about getting the new Ti Akrapvovic like the factory guys are running? Also, how many of you have ordered a 2018.5 KTM or Husky and when do you expect it?

thanks!

I'll have mine the 3rd wk of Feb which is right around the same time I got my last 2 FE450's. Completely agree on the FMF system. I'll be doing some research on the Akro and the PC systems for my new FE.

KTM's side panel looks way better than the Huskys. Seen both in person.
