seth505: What a great loking bike! Clean and simple, almost a bit old-school with the black KTM logo on the shrouds.

Thanks man, I've done some more off the wall before and did want a simple, clean setup for now.

Congrats! Best bike I've ever owned, love it. If you have been on a previous generation ktm 2-stroke, it's awesome to see how refined this one feels (but it still has the 2-stroke fun feel).

The bike is killer. Air forks are pretty damn good, I'm coming from a custom KYB SSS setup that was on my 13 250sx.

Seth, your bike really clean man, diggin it.. I'm doing a all orange setup myself at the moment, just to swap back and forth when I feel like it.

Dude that's funny, I thought of doing all white/black but held off for now. I've always loved orange since I was a kid so I'll probably end up with an all orange and a white/black setup as well. I have an all black A60 wheelset on there (bottom pic) and another set with orange hubs/nipples which I'll probably switch to soon. Your bike looks sweet!

Ya know, I've only played with the air screw there and it runs good but it's a bit blurby off the bottom. That track is so fast that I don't notice it when I'm up to speed. I almost went there today and now I'm sad I didn't haha

*edit* I also tried a 460 main there and at Barona and ended up going back down to a 450.

Hey Seth

The bike looks AWESOME. Who did your graphics? Always been a fan of the clean OEM-style look.

Those are 180 graphics, thanks!

Jeffro, it's Barona Oaks mx like 40 min from San Diego. If you search seth505 on youtube I have a vid riding my last 125 there I think.

That looks great too Seth and Markee. Nice to see some unique takes instead of the usual RB/KTM fair.

Ahh sweet! Hard to tell but it looks like a fun track from the pics. You wouldn't of had a chance to ride a 125 at Glen Helen have you? Just wondering what it may be like. I may be getting that chance here pretty soon.

Kind of a last minute decision , but I might be riding my 125 at Glen Helen here in a couple weeks. Been dreaming of riding there for so long I can't remember. I wanted to take my RM250 but it's just taking a long time to gather all my parts. I just started riding again , but might not ever get this chance again.
