What else can you tell us about the bike, Brett? I know that the bike shown DOES have a TRAX shock and Cone Valve forks, but only because Cycle News shows HD versions of the same pics that you can save and then zoom in on the detail.

The Irony, KTM puts linkage on a 2011 model, and if Honda can afford it the 2011 CRF 450 will have a hydrualic clutch. I hope I never see an aluminum frame on a KTM. Why do all the bikes have to be the same gangster? Chromo is a great material for frames.

That stinkbug honda with a lousy 4-spring clutch that has a flat power band and makes 3 HP less than the 2010 450 SXF. Even though it is lighter than any other bike in its class, it still doesn't have an electric starter or a hydraulic clutch either (the 2010 Factory Hondas finally have a hydraulic clutch just like production KTM's have had since 1999!). Did I mention the CRF 450 flames out in off idle situations? Read more than one magazine test before you comment gangster. I won't have to spend as much money on a KTM to fix anything than one would have to spend on the new CRF 450 to fix its flaws!

Got tired of having to fix shit they skimped on to save a few bucks in production. SASO550 isn't high, he just sounds like some typical ADD teenaged dork with neither class nor brains!

Factory Honda finally got smart and copied the hydraulic clutch from KTM (which KTM has had since 1999). Maybe next year Honda will put it in production like they did that lame four spring clutch basket! KTMs where white until 1996. 92 Hondas had white frames, tanks and airboxes with neon red (pink) fenders, shrouds and fork guards.! Yuk! The 92 YZ 250 was white and PINK too!

Additionally, the factory Hondas finally have hydraulic clutches and master cylinders just like the KTM production bikes have had since 1999!

The 350 is not suppose to wear you out as much as a 450 at the end of a 35 min. moto.

It has a lighter and thinner section for the same strength. Japanese bikes used to have mild steel frames that stretched out after a season or two.
