Thats what official means. I didnt state it was insider, exclusive or anything else. Its from KTM and its not speculation.

Something about that quad...looks so familar i think its the front end.

[mephyst]

Has there been more pictures released of the new KTM(s)? If someone could please post them all that would be great. Thanks!

The familiarity is that it very much resembles the original LT 250r Quadracer....Pulled back fenders, shorty rear fenders. The KTM is more angular, but the "style" is more LT 250 than TRX 250.

It sure does look better than the Kawi and Can-Am quads....:)

Looks good. I cant wait to see the 450:o

Looks good, can't wait to check one out. I just hope it isn't a peice of crap like everything else that they make.

[NPelletier]

I personally like the KX450 better, that KTM looks small for some reason, and anyway, man, i wanna steal those shox and put em on my quad...dang:o :devil:

ktm is by far the best in the industry. there machines are high quality. mike lafftery from factory ktm runs a stock motor not many bike you can do that with.

no offense to tim farr but if its an xc quad why the heck do they sign an mx guy to hlep them???? thats like rath and polaris, sorry just kinda bugs me, im sure itll be raced as an mx quad to but its slated as an xc quad. what gives???

There will be an MX Version soon;)

not impressed...the 525 motor might be able to make some decent power though, but im sure itll be detuned like everything else in the ATV world...As for the 450, im not excited about it....might as well just add it to the list of all the other 450s that were a disapointment

[CHEVYZ]

KTM machines and high quality don't seem to go together very well around here. Everyone I know that has had a KTM has either switched to something else or is planning on switching due to how their machines are holding up. Lack of maintenance has absolutely nothing to due with it either...my buddy takes better care of his machine than basically anyone that I know. I cannot deny that they are wicked fast, but when you cannot even make more than a race without something going wrong in the engine, it is pretty sad. Keep in mind this is just from what I have seen....like I said, I hope that the 525 proves my ideas on KTM to be wrong because it looks to be a wicked machine.

my buddys old KTM 125 runs strong...5 years old on the stock top end
