Ok so I got back into racing after a 15+ year hiatus, pitbikes is what got it all started, I now have a badass built bbr bike, 2015 yz250f that is all setup for my skinny ass. I by no means run the bike to its potential but I rode a 15 ktm 350 sxf last night and that's the bike for me! More grunt up top would be nice coming out of turns to get over some of these jumps easier. I only weigh 140 lbs, 5'5" so a 450 is a little to much for me. I want to know if anyone else is going to come out with a 350 mx bike? I like Yamaha wish they would make one for 17

I am 160 lbs and race 30A and 25A. I agree with you that a YZ350F would be the perfect race bike. Since they don't make it, I race my old 250 two-strokes.
Getting holeshots against the 450s I am 5 9. 170lbs. And race. Vet B You have to ride it a little different. Ride it like a 125
I know ktm has come a long way since my days of racing where you wouldn't see a ktm at the track and for some reason I still hold onto that and can't bite the bullet and buy one. Maybe I should stop smoking cigarettes, drinking a few adult beverages and put 9k towards training and classes. But what fun is that lol
I gave in and got one. I Like it a lot. Put some trusty Honda bend renthals on it and by golly it feels just like my Honda.
They are pricy but at least KTM cares about, and gives back to our sport. This is what really sold it for me.
And if the orange bothers you, buy a Husky 350 and mount a Yamaha front fender and it will look like a Yamaha
I need a coach for turning and I'd be good! I hate turns
