    Many. Too many.
    Just got my MXA and the cover shot is the new TC250. Good test of it. Yes, it is basically the KTM but the critical MXA crew actually finds it superior in a few ways. They list all the ways it does differ. They criticize the forks. It's worth a read.:thumbsup:

    There seems to be some worthwhile changes. The plastic subframe is supposed to better then Husabergs. The wheels are better quality (every article about the 250sx discusses the crap wheels). And the power switching the handlebars rather then a plug elsewhere. Has a larger air box. This bike sounds awesome and I have to admit, I liked it as a KTM but love it now :). I know I'm not anywhere nears good enough to ride that bike fast but I'd sure love to try :).

    Best quote in MXA
    Question: What did Husqvarna do to make the 2014 TC250 competitive?
    Answer: they had engineers hold Husqvarna decals two feet apart, and a third engineer rolled a 2014 KTM 250sx between them.
