2007 Ktm 450 Sx-f

[OHVrider]

Here is something to drool over:

http://dirtrider.com/news/141_0604_2007_ktm_450_sxf/

o 59HP!

o E-start

o New Frame

o New Fork

o Improved PDS

o New Plastics

o Titanium subframe

Sounds like a completely new bike!

[Fastkid591]

Hmmm.............

[RedRida110]

Old news. And those ar the factory bike specs. The production bike won't have a titanium subframe, 52mm forks, etc.

[enmerdeur]

How about something to puke over. That new plastic looks like something off those cheap Chinese import bikes.

KTM took the best looking bike in the business and made it into the ugliest. I hope that design does not make it to the final bikes.

[smudge]

Its still a 4 speed, one more gear couldn't hurt.

[BIGBLUEKNIGHT]

damn that thing is uglier than our cat

[Howorks]

Looks great to me. Love the seat too.

[Frederik Wendelboe]

Its also a new engine ..!

[showtime180]

[RedRida110]

I like it. It's different. Thats the whole point.

You all forgot the most important change of all, it's rumored that ALL KTM's in '07 will have electric start!

[killerbeez 75]

Thats not a rumor,its a fact.I wish my sx had e-start,maybe I am just lazy.

[kfcz400]

that is the baddest machine to ever grace these pages........

With the old engine you could get a 5th and 6th gear put in. Don't know about the new bike though.

[450 vet]

yuk! the rear plastic and side panels gotta go.if i got a deal i'd buy one..lol

[DirtBikeManiac24]

Where can you get a 5th gear on a ktm. Can you get somebody to cut another gear for you and place it in there? Thats what somebody did to a kx250f in a magazine, it had 6 gears.

[NewZealand_YZF_Man]

damn that thing is uglier than our cat

haha that cat is sick, literally

[sw99]

I dig the looks of it! That bike looks like it will be bada$$. If my YZF426 will ever die, i'll for sure get one of these...or the bigger one

You can drop the mxc or exc 5th and 6th in an 450/520/525sx for abut $350 in parts. Do a search here and KTMTalk you find parts list and instructions for the "6 speed conversion". If you can't find the list let me know and I'll email it to you.
