Every year that KTM comes out with a 450 Rally Replica, I say "Take my money," realize I don't have nearly enough, and drool over it anyway. For the 2027 model, nothing has changed, so let's drool together.
For those of you who are new to KTM's Rally Replicas, they're basically what you see running in the Dakar Rally. I reckon these bikes might be as close as any of us will get to owning factory machines. That doesn't mean they're cheap, far from it, but they're more affordable than other racing replica machinery. The 'standard' version will set you back around $45,000, while the Luciano Benavides Factory Edition is more like $57,800.
If those prices seem a bit steep for you, don't worry, because you probably won't be able to get your hands on one anyway. These things are like gold dust. KTM is making just over 100 of the 450 Rally Replicas. Eight of the units will be Luciano Benavides Factory Editions.
