The new Freeride 350 looks like the perfect woods weapon but maybe not enough poke for open trails in Australia. What do you think of it?

Looks like a cross between a trail bike and trials bike. Would probably suit plenty of riders and make them better riders. Dont know about that seat though. Might suit a stand up all day riding style but thats not for my old legs.

I'm vertically challenged (168cm or 5'7" in the old scale)and reckon the seat height would be perfect for someone like me. Bit concerned about the fuel tank capacity though. Might need a bigger tank for some or indeed most rides.
I'm interested in this one as it fits my buy criteria.

I've been watching this bike with interest for the past few months - it looks like an ideal machine for those 'tighter' tracks!

I'm waiting to see the ride reports when it gets released, and keeping my fingers crossed that we get to see some of them available over here.

Ktm will probably bring out a comfy seat and larger tank in time. I am also keeping an eye on this bike as on the rocky and muddy uk trails you can't get the full 450 power to the ground and the weight difference should make the long days on tough trails more enjoyable with  a lot less effort. Looking to get the 2013 model though as not keen on first year production bikes.

At least KTM are making them available to folks in the UK - no sign of them on the Australian website as yet. Also saw the UK pre-order price is around 6000 pounds, so that sounds reasonable...
