Just bought my first ktm 505 sxf and this bike is amazing.... Race ready from the box and let´s see a 250 keep up with this bike not happening.. All around a great bike very smooth power and a ton of it... Buy one and you will be pleased although I would like to take a ride on a 525 to see what´s its about. Only complant I have is stock gear ratio could be lower and changing sprockets turns this bike into a wheelie machine. Currently running 13 t in front and stock 50 t in the rear.
