2011 vs Ranger

Cost in US $$ ?

About $150-$175 or so I?d guess with shipping. I?m obviously Canadian so it?s a little different for me.

I?m getting it with the GasGas fittings and the KTM fittings. I figure if my buddies pass me ten bucks or so every time I pull some dents it?ll pay itself off. And it?s cheaper than buying a new pipe.

I like it better than the heat and torch method because this actually straightens the neck out properly too so your pipe fits back on the bike after a big dent. Which a torch can?t do.
 
That's pretty much what I'm thinking right now also. I wish I had e-start with a kicker backup now that I'm not as worried about a little extra weight.

After reading back through my post, I realize it may have come off a little more harshly than I intended.

I LOVE my 2011. It is absolutely perfect for me in just about every way possible. So the fact that they're making a brand new bike, 8 years later, that's very similar, is very cool. If someone is looking for a brand new bike that's a little shorter, a little smaller, and REALLY shines in technical riding, I think the Ranger is going to nail that niche, certainly seems like better than the Xtrainer and Freeride.

I just think that if you already have a 2010-2011, it's probably not gonna be worth it to upgrade.
 
Mine is a 2006 and I really like it...
I'd like the e-start and the lower seat height of the Ranger but I don't ride too much hours with my bike, so why buy a new one? ;-(

If you want to keep believing that just make sure you never get a chance to ride an '18.. I did.. What a mistake! Now I'm the proud owner of a brand new bike!:eek::D:D
 
Old thread , but .......I have a '23 ranger that's got lots of cool things done to it and it's unbelievable. But the stock suspension is not good but can be great when you send it to factory connection . And I put a fmf pipe and adjusted the power valve . Lots of other stuff as well , but I like it more than my '22 ktm xc250 . As long as wedding single track / hard Enduro .
