I'm Happy to report I picked up my 2014 KTM 350 SX-F today from Munn Racing. I had a lot of fun racing my 2011 350 so this one should be better. I came off of Yamaha's all my life but the KTM 350 retired my YZ 450 because it made me ride more aggressive and less lazy and I would guess I picked up at least 20% more speed than on the 450. I still have 2 Yamaha 2 strokes a 125 & 250.
I had the frame powder coated orange and went with the black DID STX Rims with silver bulldog spline drive spokes attached to some orange Talon hubs and orange nipples.
These are low resolution phone pics but I can load up some high res ones pretty soon.

Thanks for looking, Jason

P.S. I have a 2011 with low hours and lots of goodies I will put on the market soon.

Very jealous.

Why the '14 over the '15? The 15 should have the new forks....

Well I couldn't get a definitive answer on the 15 350's having the 4CS forks plus I have $1500 in MX Tech suspension with Huck valves on my 2011 which will probably go on my '14 model since Jeremy Wilkey can make the KTM stuff walk and talk like I like. So the '11 will be sold with '14 suspension on it. Haven't really decided yet.
I just need to add a Motion Pro Skid Plate and Hour meter and she will be ready.
Plus I didn't want to wait. Smile

pretty much the same story as mine.. been on yamaha for a long time then swich to a 12 350 and now a 14... the 14 is a totaly different machine than the 11-12 powerwise and suspension is much more improved

Looks nice! Munn's shop is what Heaven would look like if it was painted Orange. Great people.

Hope you're feeling well, gotta plan a ride day at Rio soon.

She looks good sir! Like Vintage Dave said, we need to plan a Rio ride day. I have gotten a lot of "other" stuff accomplished lately and am ready for some ride time.

Sure is nice that you can request an orange frame and the dealer just makes it happen.

Hey Dave, long time no see. The 393 gave you away as being in the brotherhood with me Smile
I still run the 393 behind my usernames on some forums. Anyway glad to see another brother of the original band of brothers out there still.
GMB Forever !!!!!!

Jaybird...that is a gorgeous bike! How much did Munn charge you for powdercoating the frame, then building the bike back?

Expect that PM this weekend....I'm picking up a KTM to flip...but the urge to keep it is just tooooooo strong. If I keep it, then the frame is going orange ASAP.

Depends on where you are. It cost me only 100 bills. But I would guess 100-150 anywhere you go.

Wow Jason!

Nice bike I really like the look of your new toy!

Now we just need to get Joe, Vintage Dave myself & you out to Rio for a KTM ride day...LOL

Let me know when & I'll work on it.

Let me think for a second...............

OK that would give us a KTM 150, A 350 ,A Dungy replica & My Factory Edition all with Orange frame's to ride.

I might even get Monty & My friend Jimmy to join in so we could have a pair of SX250's too!

I'm about 4.5 hours south of Munn but I'll hit you up.Jaybird...that is a gorgeous bike! How much did Munn charge you for powdercoating the frame, then building the bike back?" $750 I thought that was fair."

Thanks Howard. I'm not sure my body is ready to ride yet but I got the bike.
