So, it seems to me that the new series is essentially one frame/bodywork, with three slightly different engines (only in displacement), all about the same weight. Which I can understand for purposes of racing in various classes, but for my 'hobby' riding purposes I am glad I went with the 570.

is there any truth to the rumour that a KTM 700cc kit will be available for the 570?

most of em want less not more :? so you can try harder without thinking too much and have to burn up the clutch all the time because the engines too peaky ? ...i don't get it.

sadly yeah you are right its bollock's as I have it on very good authority that the current '09-'10 cases will only go as far as the 610 kit and thats it !
a 700cc sloper rallye bike would be THE ultimate...............but it seems like ASO and FIM have now put paid to that dream :cry:

From what I hear they will soon be in the USA, don't know about CA
The Supermoto will not come to North America. In anticipation of "why?" the answer is that it is really hard to sell a $10,000 single cylinder street only motorcycle in North America. KTM only sold SM's after heavy discounts and HB does not want that bad experience. We have asked for street legal versions of the FEs like KTM's EXCs for 2011. Don't have a clue if it will happen or not. That bike will sell at $10k because it can be ridden on and off road.

How many people spend $10K on a dirt bike? In this economy?
I may have missed it, but as far as I could tell the only difference between the FE and the SM was the wheels.
But you are right, I wouldn't spend $10K on a SM, I would spend $1K to $3K on the wheels to turn my FE into something close to SM. Oh, and my FE *is* street legal - at least here - and WA state is not easy to plate a dirt bike in.
