Well ... with rear linkage, different frame, tank and plastics ... it does look "special" for a KTM. Trick too, but only because of bunch of "hard parts" blingy stuff ...

I`ll choose FE390, if in search for sub-450 four stroke offroader ...
Yes, I know 350 is MX, but it is only question of moment when we will see EXC/XC/whatever 350.

IIRC, KTM was one of first/loudest "350 cc WEC class instead of 450" originators/proposers ...

i'm so annoyed that husaberg didn't make a 350. now they need to downsize the bike again when they could have had a years headstart with a 350. what are they playing at?

people have asked for a 350, a 350MX class has been on the cards for a while AND 350cc is more than enough with two people telling me that the 390 is still too much bike for them!

why o why?

regards

Keep in mind that boreXstroke on new-gen Bergs are the same as on some EXCs (450 and 570). How "hard" is to "apply" 350 measures on todays 390?


BTW, there was NO Husaberg motorcycles on KTMs booth on this years EICMA!
Is Husaberg close to final extinction? Will this engine (with or without chassis) serve as near-future something orange? Did I take my pills?

put the 2009 400 exc piston in (89mm) and you have a 350. valve sizes - not so sure of but if 400 can go to 650 why can't a 570 go back to a 350?
