Couple threads on KTMTalk about it. My take is this - We have two 2015 & my kid goes pretty well. I don't see a need for any more motor & have no desire to have him on air forks. So unless this bike handles like an absolute dream I doubt we will upgrade. It would be nice to have the newer look but that won't help lap times. The 2013-2017 were so much better than any other offering it makes little sense to change (for us)...........

There's always been a bit of fuel in bikes I've bought. Some of them I took out of the crate myself so it wasn't added by the dealer.

Maybe I'm wrong but I've bought new bikes dry from the dealer and I assume they didn't drain the fluids. I wouldn't think flammable liquids could be shipped like that seems like a huge hazard.
