    one of our crew has a deposit on the FE350 for a few months now....there may not be one in the US for him the numbers are low and the demand super high, im surprised by this oversight. good news is that my te300 is at most 2 weeks out.

    I think KTM purposely under builds so as not to have overstock and fire sales and keep prices high.

    So far its looking like the underbuild is so extensive for the next few months that some dealers will go looking for other brands to sell so cobwebs dont form on their salespeople.

    Someone at Mercedes was once quoted that they send exactly 1 less car than the US market wants....they didnt say 100 less or 100 less, just 1 !! Sometimes these details matter.

    That seems to be the way they do things at KTM. And if this is how the "new" Husky brand is gonna start out, they are not gonna make very good impression and win over a lot of people IMO. To me it's not a good start out of the box.

    We got our first four in yesterday, I think they didn't want to make too many because it's halfway through the model year. I wish they would have just done 15 models from my side of things. I still haven't received a list of what we are actually getting.... that's typical though.

    The '15 bikes are only 6 months away, as Husky is going to the KTM early model year release schedule. Dealers are going to be glad the '14 build was limited, when they are doing their '15 bike order in June....

    Not when they have disappointed customers standing in line like they do right now. I think they would rather sell a bunch of 14's... AND 15's.

    At least somebody in Austria heard the call for DS bikes. Will be interesting to see what the future holds.

    I expect spy photos (not Photoshop BS pix thanks) and specs from our inside gurus !

    If you get your money down early, then your not disappointed. The days of surplus stock sitting around with the eminent fire sale following are gone.

    plus everyone I know around here that has looked into them say they will be hard to get and some of these guys are real buyers if the bikes were here. I have no skin in the game I'm buying older and older bikes :)

    I went to get parts for my WR 150 today and was surprised that Bob from Central Jersey Cycles here in New Jersey had a bunch of new bikes on the floor. They really look impressive when you see them in person. I think after this season I'm getting a new one. I'll keep my tiddler because I love it and I'll just get another bike in my stable.

    I'm just glad that the dealers are getting them. They may be a little hard to find but at least we know they are available. I'm sure now that Bob has them, I'll see some in the woods soon. That will give me a chance swap rides if someone I know gets one.:cheers:

    ktm building them one less than needed will be good news for beta,sherco and other "exotics" since theres a hunger for anything not orange.
    I laughed when i saw 11k for new 501. that means more like 12500 to 1300 otd. Lets see I could buy a left over wr450 with efi for 6900. hmmm

    The prices are high for sure, but no need to exaggerate them upward... US FE501 price is $9899, not $11,000. I already have multiple discounted quotes on White Huskys.
