Herlings and Cairoli unveil the new KTM XLITE http://motomagazine.co.uk/videos/vi...eil-all-new-2016-ktm.html#Bp6G4DR7LWzjv2WL.97
I read somewhere the new 350 is 220.2 lbs and makes 58 hp? If true then holy crap batman! Euro versions get the new air fork that is roughly 3lbs lighter still. Seems like they are giving the Euros a year or so to sort the air forks before bringing them over here.
Maybe they finally got the hint that people don't like orange. I'm sure they noticed how much more appealing the bikes are simply by adding white plastic and a Swedish gun sight.
And the KTM almost looks like the gunsite logo. Yes the shrouds, reddish color and pointy rear fender look italian husky. They will probably read this and switch it all in horror.
The 150 is now a big bore motor, not a stroker motor, as it has been. I think it may be possible, but we won't know until Walt looks at the cylinder. Cases have provision for an E start.... not that important on a 125/150, but will be nice on the eventual 200 and anything in between! I'm guessing '16 TC125, will get this motor and then TE125 in '17. Whether Husky gets 150 and 200 is still a question? Nice to know that 150, will be a cylinder and piston away from a 125, just like an Italian Husky 125!
