I don't understand all the Honda haters on here. They are one of the worlds biggest engine manufacturers.

Stefan Everts has expressed concerns regarding the lack of a link but was told it's not going to be changed any time soon.

Not one of, they are the worlds greatest engine manufacturer, by the time you add up all the cars, bike, scooters, lawnmowers, outboards, generators etc etc no-one makes more and they have plants everywhere including China (oh except NZ huh!).

Presume they are talking about the rising rate rear suspension linkage while KTM uses WhitePower with no link so hence no rising rate but they try to claim they can do it all with magic in the shock and spring. I am sure Robert will tell us what he thinks of that.

I thought that is what they were talking about.

When i was looking at getting a KTM, I had to say I liked the idea in its simplicity, but there must be a reason why everyone else is doing it.
