Doesn’t look a great deal different:

Modifications are as follows:

• New frame design for 400/450/530 EXC
• New suspension valving, PDS with new needle design similar to SX 2009
• New front Brembo brake (like SX 2009)
• Optimised airbox & new air filter
• Lighter EXCEL rims
• Lower handlebar for 125/200 EXC and 400/450/530 EXC
• New DID 520 VT2 X-ring chain instead of Regina
• New Renthal “Diamand” hand grips
• Radiator cap 1.8 bar instead of 1.4 bar
• New graphics with brighter colours
• Harder piston rings (nitrated)
• Reinforced gear box (1,2,5,6 idler gears)
• Reworked chain adjuster & clamping rail
• New oil control ring

Well they have the important things covered anyway! :laugh:

Nah, who could blame anyone for not updating the bikes much this year? Besides, and I am sure Yamaha will agree with me here, when you are on to a good thing, why change?

It was dissapointing for me, although not unexpected. I hope next year they at least put some FI on the bike. The frame mod is the only real change that you might notice, with the exception of he few riders that will notice 100g less of wheel at each end of the bike.

I love how you can turn any thread into a complete mess within 10 posts – three if you try hard enough!! Even, or is it especially your own threads! :laugh:

It’s a special skill:P Most OBT’ers have it, besides, the KTM fans will be happy as they have pictures of KTM’s and everyone else won’t give a damn because it’s a KTM thread

Its interesting that a person in the know told me they thought that KTM’s development would slow down for the next year or so because they (KTM) are getting into other areas Road bikes, Cars , Quads etc more and more and the research and development side would be stretched thin. I would have bet money on them having at least EFI this year on at least their their motorcross bikes, do they? Husaberg have it, and they are supposed to be all KTM parts aren’t they? Maybe ol mate is right regarding
R & D, just a thought :dry:

How heavy would one of these be, and how much coin would I need to part with (approximatly)?
They are a nice looking bit of machinery.

Hey Boony

They are 50% lighter than your Banana and 30% more expensive so by the gram you still have the best value in town:laugh:

It was said that KTM copied the general look of Suzukis’ PE and Yamahas IT ranges from the 70s, I disagreed I think they all copied Ossa, and now without Ossa to copy KTM are lost in a world of constant asthetic reinvention, although it seems the 2010 range have settled into a rut somewhat.

maybe they’ve decided to give the designers a breather, to get to know their inner artiste’ and send them on a mystical journey to the great southern land to learn the ancient art of bling bling at the feet of the Guru known as “Meance”.
