No it's definitely real alright, the grassy hills through the wheels is all I needed to see. It's a perfect match.

I like how you can really move up forward on the tank on the new KTM.

Plus the new PDS air shock/spring system should help his speed in the whoops....

I'm not sure going away from disc brakes was a good idea for the common rider but when you are Ryan Dungey, who needs brakes anyways!

copying yamahas exhaust system i see though, but sticking with the steel frame. Yeah the chewing gum brakes leave a lot to be desired, but like ronnie mac says 'brakes only slow you down'.

I can see why they are calling it a game changer. That thing must be amazing in the corners with no radiators sticking out on each side.

There is something not right with the photo ... just can't put my finger on it. Maybe its Dungey's boots or something. Just weird ...

Its' about time they dropped some weight off those turds. Probably the lightest 450 ever made. I can see the need for the larger seat too, Dungey does site down alot

The sad thing is Dungey would lap me twice on a three lap heat on that. With me on his factory 450. It would be so cool if they would do a one off vintage race. Maybe different era every year...

Best part is the left mounted kick starter. For some reason, normal humans cannot kick with the left foot. You gotta get off the bike to start it.

The other weird thing is when you fall in the woods on ANY bike and pick it up on the right, you have to run around to the other side to get on?????


Its not like the bike is going to kick you if you try to mount on the wrong side. I guess its human nature from thousands of years of riding horses.

Fake. Everyone knows KTM dropped the link less rear end on the MX models a few years ago.

If one shock is good, then two must be amazing! Why hasn't anyone thought of this already? KTM is always on the cutting edge of technology.
