I have been wanting this bike for years. I had a Yamaha WR250R. It’s t was over 300lbs which is a lot off road. I just couldn’t stomach $12k for it. My dealer made me a deal I could t ignore. So I now have a 2024 KTM 350 EXC-F.

Nice! I sure hope KTM can recover. I’m on an 890 right now, and would love to add a 500excf to the stable.

Congratulations! Now is a great time to find deals on motorcycles especially KTM, and that's a fun one.


No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

I have a 890 Adv R as well, haven’t had any major problems yet. The rear shock blew out at about 7k miles KTM replaced it. I am going to get it checked for cam issues in another month or so.

Congrats on the new KTM. It will be nice on those days when the trails get narrow.

I ended up buying a Honda RL450RL as a second bike to my Africa Twin 1100.

I had no idea KTM was having financial issues. I have owned several over the years and my wife has a 300XC presently. My oldest son has a new Husqvarna 300 (essentially a white KTM) that has been phenomenal. That 350 is a great bike, enjoy!

I'm not a KTM fan but I do hope they can recover because I hate to see any bike manufacturer go out of business.

As a KTM owner I hope the financial mess doesn't destroy the parts situation (which is already a bit sketchy).
