FUUUUUUUUGGGGGG! New FE570S attacked by forklift

I had my 2008 KTM 450 shipped to me and it looked like that when I got it. The alloy used is insanely thin and will bend if you look at it hard.

If something was broken or bent internally I think you'd see extensive external damage. If you had seen the abuse I've delivered to my bikes without drama you'd be a lot less worried.

Nice bike, have fun with it :p
 
Got it put together and took it out last weekend - it seems like everything is in good working order, but took in to dealer to have him check it all out just to be sure.

Initial impression of the bike: Holy effin crap did I make the right call! :) Turns like a mt bike when you're riding it on the street. Handles tight single track like a much smaller bike. And the power will spin the rear wheel on tarmac in 3rd gear - so much for riding street on nobbies - already ordered a set of wheels/tires so I can quickly swap out street/dirt. This is without the race map installed, just a slip on, so really excited to see what it'll do with the right mapping.
