NEW 2022 KTM

[John250]

Is it just me, or is the new KTM 450 one ugly motorcycle. Not near as nice looking as a Yamaha or Honda. Not even close.

I think they look amazing

I hate orange, luckily it comes on white or red too! They are amazing bikes, I'm far more comfortable on my Husky than any bike I've ever owned

May be good bikes. I am simply talking the look of the new KTM. Not a fan. The Hondas and Yamahas both look the best to me.

I agree John I’m glad I got last year’s looks much better

When I saw the post title and author, I knew he didn't like it lol! I don't think it's a great looking bike, but I'll bet that it works well, and any bike looks good out front!

It’s the orange seat. I don’t know what company they have that supplies seat covers to the factory team but they are always hideous. I would hope the production units have a black or grey cover

I think the new KTM looks great. Lots of new features with this one. Bet AP makes it look ever better.
John, see if the monotone narration here changes your mind.

I think it looks pretty bad ass.. if they came with cone valves it woulda been on top of my list infact.. I do love my Honda, but I also like playing musical bikes. Lol

This bike will grow on you. Remember ktm always has Wierd-looking bikes on the white back drop. Then when you see them in the real life back drop they’re sick.

Plastic being functional to direct air flow and the front fender has some fins look like as well.

from a different angle they look amazing. The shroud shouldn’t hook your boot either has a nice taper which also funnels the air to the radiators better seems…..

If I can hijack…..Brad Jones factory edition Kawasaki is real nice. Kyb spring suspenders too…..

Solid 9.2 - 10
Would do ...

Personally I like the Husky look far better. Funny that Zacho retired and got pinched from coaching but they still use his number

 

[John250]

It's like the weird Austrian chick in a beauty pageant that just does not have that same "bam" as the hot chicks on stage.

The non factory edition looks better. but still not a Yamaha or Honda. Just my opinion, and we are talk looks only.

By looks only I do like the Honda then the Husky 2nd.

Now Mx955 new gas gas build is by far the best looking bike I've seen in a very long time.

 

[John250]

I like the Husky better than the KTM. Have not seen the MX955 build. Saw he put black wheels on it though.

 

[MX955]

Nice! Great job Greg. Looks much better than coming off the assembly line.

That engine and cradle makes for a better look than the 450. Appears like it should weigh a whole lot less even if it doesn't. A plain Jane ride no more. Very stylish!
