That thing is awesome! The list is unreal. Seems all your gonna need for mx is tires, nerfs, a arms and retuned shocks. I cant wait to have one in my garage. This is what all 450s should be like from the factory.

that thing looks nice, I would buy one, but I have 1 issue, where is the kick starter????? If its anything most of the ktm dirtbikes, they have issues with the battery no being charged enough and putting out enough juice to use the electric start, you HAVE to kick it. I had to do this twice. Also, I don't trust an ONLY electric start bike.

The quad stator is much bigger then the bikes. No one has had any problem starting the 525 Outlaw.

after reading the specs and seeing Farr at the Missouri TT, i think i'm going to sell my Honda and get a KTM.

that looks awesome, in 09 there might be a ktm quad in my garage. A backup kick starter would be big part of the deciision. Maybe ktm will have an accessiory kicker??
