Out at the farm this past weekend, we had a 2011 KTM 350 SXF arrive with a prominent KTM test rider. I didnt ride the bike but spent lots of time talking to those who did. Everyone was extremely happy with the fuel injection, very smooth and progressive, good power down low, lots of power at the top end. Suspension was very nice, (it had been revalved for woods riding) The small choppy stuff could hardly be felt. Good traction from the rear and a solid feeling front end. It seemed to corner better than previous models. At least two people that rode this bike are calling their local dealer this week to order one. They are due in dealer stores in the next week or two.

Sounds like KTM have done their homework on this bike. The frame is completely different, the rear suspension has linkage. The power is good without ripping your arms off.
