im thinking about buying a 4t after xmas. gunna be a KTM or a KXF, gunna keep the 2t too though

yep yep, go with the KXF...

[daddycool651]

Until he trys a KTM sxF that is.

well Pornstar , I have tried Ktm sxf's 250 and 450's and thats why I prefer my 2 stroke , as much as I liked riding them ( and love my KTM's ) they were no comparison to the 09 KXF 450 ... Im no test rider ( altho that is my dream job) but like steve (Greenmachine ) said I had a grin from ear to ear , if you combined the lightweight snappiness of the ktm250sx with the torque of a 4 stroke you get an alround bike like the 09 kxf , smooth unintimidating power , corners superbly , and it pulls like a virgin at a peep show .... im not dissing anyones preference but mine was made a lot harder ...

think he rode the 2stroke for extreme but preferred the 4stroke for the gncc and shit?

Yeh thats right. He did race a 250 2T in the GNCC but wasnt as comfortable with it. Changed to the 4T.

id say his bike was set u rather well shimwells Yamaha are rather big in south Africa and sponsor quit a few racers

Interesting. Bloody good of them to help out with the bike. I wonder if they'll be as helplful if he wants another go next year. There's a very long list of RSA riders behind Rory and Chris! Gotta watch those tricky Sairth Effricans, especially when they serve food to opposition teams.

Still does trials but not as often. He won the first day(and only day he rode) of Expert A at the Nationals.
