They have basically same amount of white as the previous year...fork guards and a bit on the back fenders..

this is a 2011 I believe..

the entire tail is white on the 2011... its orange on the "sneak peak"
just the number plates and fork guards are white

the side panels of the 2012 are white, on the 2011 there black, theres more white on the ktm logo on the shroud and the number plate is still white so all in all i'm just sayin total surface area prob just as much white lol, just doesn't look like as much cuz the tail fender isn't white anymore, but the side number panel is

Looks like some of the other 2012 KTM models kept the white tail fender..as well as the white side number plates

Just the ones with the tail lights appear to be orange..hmm

actually they all just look like the 2011 european trail bikes
and i think KTM has all the 2012 models on their website anyhow since thats what they are advertising... they look exactly the same except 2012 has bigger "ktm" lettering
so looks like theres MORE white on it now since the number plates are white now

2011 SXF

2012 SXF

The EXC are only available in Europe.

From everything I saw the 2012's SX bikes retain the white rear fender, number plates and fork gaurds.

The XC Sixday bikes have the orange frames again. The remaing XC bikes are somewhat the same with the clear tanks.

I don't mind the clear tanks, they only tend to start going yellow after a few years. I don't keep bikes that long.

the 2011 SX number plates are black

i wonder why though that the XC-F arent on the KTM website

Have to agree I like the black wheels better to thanks for the link

I agree I liked the black rims too, but still looks good without. I have the 2011 350xcf. I loved the idea of a bigger tank, and being clear is great, no guess work on how much fuel you have. and really who cares if they go yellow, like takethebounce said I don't keep them that long anyway, or they have stickers to solve that...lol. The bike loves to scream in higher rpm, think I may drop the rear sprocket down a tooth or two to make it more usable from 2nd to third. other than that no more kicking 4's is a great thing!!!
