"KTM feels ten years behind" I find that hard to believe.

Thoughts?

awesome writing style in that article ( not ), to be fair the KX450F was shown by Knight to be a weapon, though he's going just as well if not better on the KTM now.

Interesting how the brit's seem to be getting into some serious hyperbole, the Sun factor maybe.

These guys are the biggest off road race organizers in the UK, I just though for them to put this on there site there must be something to it, but then again at $108 a race and $129 for something that resembles a trail ride suppose they print what there sponsors want them to.

i think it shows how cheap riding is in this country, be thankfull there are a shit load of volunteers that put huge hours in to make riding cheap here,

for the record, i would buy a kawasaki over a ktm any day ;) ;) but it does not mean a whole lot coming form a kawasaki dealer does it,

I reckon they are, or maybe something more subtle like saying the the alloy frames are better than the steel ones, not sure I'd go with that arguement personally.

I try and stay impartial to the whole KTM,HONDA,YAMAHA,KAWASAKI thing as each one has its different strength and weaknesses, when I saw this on one of the leading UK dirt bike race event organizers site and not only that but some good riders winning at the events on them, I thought there maybe something more to the Kawasaki than what I first though.

Steve used to say the same thing about Gas Gas back when they sponsored WOR racing. Yeah the KXF is a weapon but its still a MX bike...

Well I'm about 20 years behind my KTM. I can barely hang onto it.
