Hmmm .... Good Review but..if it's a four stroke and it does'nt have much torque
and you have to rev it to make it go all day long , surely you'd be better off with a 300 2T , then you'd have was was so obviously missing during the video and that is the X factor = Excitement ( read FUN ) !

Or is he normally so non-excited about a new Bike launch ?

There's heaps of support options north of auckland, but no dealers unfortunately, so it's bikes only I believe.

I know ktm have been talking with a few people, but puke is damn near 4 hours drive from here eh & Auckland CBD in rush hour is no better. Though ktm might be like husky and the txc and not bring in the xc-f anyway.

yeah, the XC-F range seem like the perfect solution to heaps of kiwi's type of riding (bit of MX and trail stuff) Why the fark do they not bring them here?

yea its a pain, i think it might be because we piggyback off australia, and over there you need to have a rego on your bike to ride in the bush etc, so i think thats why we get the EXC's instead of the XC range.
