A little while back I posted a thread asking about the factory edition ktm’s and after some encouraging words from some members I decided to go and order one.

Today I finally got to pick it up and take it home and man I am glad I got one. Unfortunately now pretty much all of the tracks are now closed in SE Queensland due to the virus so it maybe a little while until I get to take it out on a track but in the meantime I’ll just be finishing it off by getting my numbers on it and throwing the swingarm and fork stickers on it. Can’t wait to get out and swing a leg over it! Stay safe everyone!

Nice. Good time to grease her up.
I did exactly that with that 150 I bought several years back. Funny thing, upon disassembly I found it to be quite well lubed from the factory.

Awesome bike! I have a 2018 factory edition and just got a 2020 Yamaha but I like the Ktm so much I can’t get myself to let it go!

Keep the ktm if you can! If I can I’ll definitely try and keep this bike around for a long time

Nice bike!
This would be a great time to send the suspension off to get setup/valved for you.

Nice man, very jealous.

I had a deposit paid on a WR450f a day before the country turned to shit. I had to bail Pinch didn’t think it was wise to drop 13k on a toy as we go into the worst global recession we might ever see. Enjoy!

Such a beautiful bike! Excited for you! Feeling your pain though...everything is shut down in Vic..
I just dropped $750 for some badly needed new boots...bought 4 new tyres...couple of new helmets, piston kit for my 250 f, dropped $ 400 on club and Nat comp licence renewal.. $100 for a region round entry and $ 122 for the first round of the Vics then this shit storm hits 😡😡😡
If I had just bought a beautiful bike like yours...I'd be looking foward to the coming lockdown so I could spend some quality time out in the garage looking at it and drinking high quality lockdown beers!🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Unfortunately my poor old 125 couldn't make it to the party...shes locked up in my container with the motor on the bench...project for the lockdown I guess...thats if I can stay off the piss long enough to do it 😂😂🍺
