Factory 2007 KTM 250SX-F ??

[Aus_Rider_22]

ALOT of intersting things on this bike!

I really like the shock body and hydrogen tank, piece of art! Anyone else notice the tank is really pushed backwards towards the centre?

The most obvious thing is the smallish number side plates. Hate to see the size of the digits needed for a 3-digit race number!

Sorry Geoff!

But that's the prototype 450 SXF, lots of information over at KTMtalk.com.

Wow, that's crazy!

I dont like the 3 piece rear fender, split down the side number plates
Infact, the whole bike just looks ugly! very trick, but Weird...

Does'nt look like you can access the air filter from the side on this one.
I hope the 07's are'nt like this.


The swing arm design I like.

Looks like they still refuse to use linkage, someday maybe they will learn.

I think it looks awesome. Looks like they made it so that you don't have to take the whole bike apart to get to a simple thing. I think it is cool

I disagree. I think the back side of the number plate covers up the front side...and you just have to take the front side off to get to the air filter...not positive on that, but that's what it looks like to me

[crazyrydermx]

Actually, I just realized something. On one side the back covers the front, and on the other side the front covers the back
Also, when putting numbers on, it is going to involved a lot more precision than usual and a lot more cutting.
The seat also has two elevations...
The swingarm is pretty cool.

From what I have heard the swingarm is investment cast as one peice, can you say lite & strong!

No welding to take the temper out of the metal also no welds to crack!

That is a good idea

Ooops!

I should've studied up on it more before posting the pics! I didn't even check on KtmTalk.com for the info, I have sinned!

I stole them from a couple other websites that didn't have much info to go from and I thought the engine size looked 250ish, but clearly I was mistaken.

Can't say KTM don't try new ideas, that's for sure!

read some of the comments over at ktmtalk i think its gorgeous

the only thing i have never liked about ktms would be the curve of the front fender but i really like the more black -- less orange nice!

[KKXR400R]

The bike is already compressed enough but to find a place for a battery in there...must of taken an act of God. one other thing, KTM must be thinkning all their riders will be running 1 number on the plates...those things are tiny....oh wait...I dont think they can fit 800 on it...maybe he'll go ride for husky! :zap
