They still can't figure out how to get the suspension to work but they can change the motor. That will fix all the problems right?

You still havent got it yet. I really dont think KTM is all that worried about what American Moto-heads think. They are selling plenty of their reliable bikes to the offroad community worldwide.

They know their niche and are keeping their customers very happy.

awesome news for the 50's but we'll see how reliable they turn out to be becuz the more moving parts means more to break....

i did the conversion from australian dollars to american dollars.
i was assuming the prices were in australian dollars.
$6200aus for the 65 was roughly $5400us.
FOR A 65!!

Don't bother trying to do any conversions between Australia and the US.....Australia is just bullshit overpriced for everything.

Interesting that they went to all that trouble with the 65, as the current model is considered a top pick in the class. The latest offerings from LEM and Cobra are really good, but the SX65 is still very competitive. In the 50 class, they were way behind everyone else. Cobra, LEM, Polini, are all much better bikes than KTM's current offering.

It's really good to see new full sized 2 strokes in their lineup.
