Just come across this, amazing looking bike from the Austrians. No word on whether we will see it in Oz, it appears to be a limited edition of 200 worldwide similar to the Carioli 350SX-F.
I'm becoming a massive fan of the KTM's.

Big fan of it, will find out AUS availability next week mate! The brand is definitely stepping it up while others are remaining the same.

They had to release this bike so Dungey could compete this year on it. If you guys remember they used their 1 year works bike with Alessi on the 350.

1 year works bike with Alessi would have to be a fail! pulled the trigger too soon! imagine the things they could have done with this new bike if they did that this year!>=?
bike looks pretty sick

I thought they used to works bike thing on Kelly Smith or someone back in the day? Don't know why, that's just what I remember lol. Probably completely wrong here, might have just been a rumour I read on a forum back then or something #shrugs.

Alessi rode the works bike 2010 as did Tye in Australia and it came out as a 2011 model. You guys tested on here about a year ago. Yeh I sound like a stalker.
Anyway does anybody know if Tye Symonds is getting one or 2 of these to race the Aus MX series on???

yeh pretty sure your right AG, I remember hearing the same thing. KTM used up their AMA works bike rule in the late 90's - early 00's with some kind of big bore thumper..

What year did Shayne King to the US Outdoors on KTM 4 stroke. Cant remember if it was late 90s or early 2000s. Actually it was 2000. He got smoked. One top 10 place on that big barge.
Only $9599USD. May as well snap one up on the credit card AG. 1 of 400. Looks bloody trick.

Did some digging & you guys are right"They cannot use the one-year Works Bike exemption rule because they already used it once with Lance Smail back in the day." thanks Pulpmx. By skipping sx with Alessi 2010 they didn't have to holmogate bikes until September where as Dungeys bike must be on sale by June.
Any body see the practice times? Rv rd js cr! And Cody mackie topped group c opens
