I know it is a ways off but I reckon the 2014 version of this bike will be perfection. By then KTM and Husaberg will have knocked off everything the other one does better and the EFI and electrical gremlins will be well and truly behind them.
We have a lot to look forward to in the next few years, after that I reckon the development will settle down again and it will be about bold new graphics.

Timd505,

I’ve got just over 3000 k’s on mine now and I still love it. It’s a joy to ride and am always looking for rides to keep on enjoying it.

It’s best points come through in the tight stuff or when you need to man handle it. Nice and easy (compared to a DRZ anyway).

Apart from the filter issue which wouldn’t have been an issue if KTM noted it in the manual and servicing schedule, all has been good.

It is a bit fiddly removing the spark lead to get in to check the valve clearances but everything else is easy to get to for servicing.

If you get one check the wheelbearing seals for grease they were a little shy putting it in on mine.

Adam.

if you worked for a fuel company you would hate them they don t use any fuel go forever on a tank .there also nice to ride

That true “rocket”
I’ve owned two 525’s before this injected model.
Gotta say that fuel/distance is no longer a problem
Still dont think they have the big hit off the bottom though.
I guess “smooth delivery” are the buzz words for now. :angry: :angry:
I do love my fivehungy, but I would of been happier with an upgrade on the old carby model. So I can drop the revs down like I used too and just crawl with out having a ‘FLAME OUT”
I guess a slight change in riding technices aint all that bad
Just that I’m too old to change and it does take some time.
I heard this weekend gone, that the new WR450 is also “smooth on its delivery”
I for one, used to love the big hit of the 525
And still do
But, this is 2012
Just tryin to keep up, bein a 60’s child
Cheers
Murph
