FACTORY RIDER TO BIKE BUILDER: COLE SEELY’S FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF HIS NEW KTM 450SXF

It’s common to see former factory riders change brands after they retire and their previous manufacturer’s support runs out, but usually they are picked up by another brand, even if they aren’t racing anymore. Cole Seely’s situation is unique though. Since his retirement, Cole has been growing his Youtube channel by posting videos of his latest bike builds, riding videos, drifting videos and more. We were surprised last week when Cole announced that he had bought a KTM. Originally, we figured KTM was supporting him and his latest video almost sounds like a KTM ad, but he assured us in the previous video that he’s not getting support from them.
