Anyone ridden both an Alta and the KTM?

Curious to hear first hand experience from anyone that’s ridden both and what their thoughts were.

Just saw this video posted yesterday.

Thanks! I’ve been YouTube’n it up like crazy! I think I found a bike that I’ll hopefully be buying today!!!

Well, I have two out of three, guess that's not bad.

Lucky!!! Which two?

Alta and light-bee.

I also had Alta and Sur-Ron. But sold the LBX to buy a second Alta for my son. Fortunately, the Sur-Ron has a robust resale value, especially now that you can't get very many new ones from China.

I did test ride the KTM around the parking lot. It was certainly fun, just not "Alta fun." (Plus, it was twice as expensive as the used Alta I picked up, and I couldn't order a second battery for it.) Easy choice.

I have both the Alta MXR 2018 and the KTM 450SX-F 2019.5 Factory Edition.

No prizes for guessing which one I LOVE more.
