Default 2015 KTMs

They pumpkin wagons seem to be very nice. It looks like the two strokes still have a carb.....
What does everyone think?

At first glance, I do like the looks of the orange frame and black wheels.

Anything with "New" in front of it makes me nervous. I got the new 2008 XC4 530 and that thing is a POS. I have to put about 100cc of oil in it after every ride.

They look much better with the orange frames and black rims, the old grey frames and silver rims looked cheap to me.

Interesting that Giant is making the wheels. I wonder if there is a connection between Giant and KTM?

Thats because you have the oil migration issue. It was pretty common with the 08 450 and 530.

There is a simple kit to fix the oil migration problems of that era.

Those Giant rims? We were talking about how the KTM mountain bikes look a lot like Giants. I didn't see the resemblance, but then, I ride a Specialized Stumpy FSR.
