Congrats. The '23 350 is an interesting bike. The changes sound like they targeted the areas that people were wanting. I'm sure you will love it.

Set the Sag and Air Pressure (don't go "low" on air-pressure/use the pressure for your weight) and ride the "new" off of those knobbies!

Have a great time and Congrats!

Congrats! Yes a ride report please, lol. In the market for a new ride myself, I like the idea of a 350, my main concern about them is the suspension & price, lol

Same here! My dealer said it should be here soon. I guess I need to get the '21 350 sold asap. Haha!

I want everyone to know how much i appreciate the kind replies. It's really cool of everyone. I will certainly post pics later. I will also let everyone know what an old, slow, vet guy thinks of a bike, that is way beyond my capabilities. I just appreciate that i can still do this being almost 60 years of age...

That’s what these forums should be about. Encouraging each other and being excited for everyone to get out and ride. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts, and can’t wait to get mine!

That's awesome, I didn't notice your age at first, so cool you and more and more people are keeping at it and enjoying themselves. I hope the new bike lives up to it, they sound like they're going to be a bit special 👍

I sold my Husky to a guy in his late 50's recently who was getting back into riding, and while I lost my ass on the sale as the thing was dialled, I was real happy it was going to a good home and I got to see the dude's face light up after just a quick spin round the yard.

Motorcycles are kinda magical.

What a perfect bike!!
So what mods/ farkles are you doing?
KTM has such a finished product I can't imagine needing anything for MX other than suspension settings!

Good deal! I am told I get my KTM 350 maybe Friday or Monday. Later next week for the Husky 350. I would expect everyone to have some 2023's by next weekend. I was just told a truck was unloading up in Oregon today.

Don't worry about the 60 thing. Just train a bit more to compensate. I cycle regularly for base conditioning. I am racing at 60 and really enjoy my '19 350SXF. The 350 allows me to push hard on the laps later in the motos. Enjoy!

Man, I can't thank you Dude's enough for being so rad about this! I lurk here a lot, but try to keep my head down and stay away from the controversy on the "5 Pagers". I really do enjoy spending my lunch hour in my office reading everything. You guys are good Dudes...
