[QUOTE="ktm033, post: 435032, member: 22341"] Maybe this post should be in the Flame section, with that said I just received the latest issue of Dirt Bike in the mail. Although they had a nice write up on the '03 450 EXC they also dedicated the bulk of the issue to the "2003 250 MX bikes". They tested an RM, YZ, CR(honda), and a KX. At the end of the articles they did a little write up about which bike was best where during there short test. In addition they showed a photo of all the bikes with pro numbers on them, implying that the respective riders were riding those brands for '03. Now I know that KTM had a recall on the triple clamps associated with the '03's, I also know that the writers at Dirt Bike probably did not know that McGrath whose number sat on the YZ tested was riding Orange for '03 but come on! They did not even mention the KTM 250 SX in any of their rantings. To add insult to injury an '03 CRF 450 is also tested in the issue. The only four stroke that gets mentioned in comparison is the other rice burner, ie., the YZF 450. Last time I checked KTM was making a couple of pretty sweet RFS's for MX. At one time I thought the amount of print that a manufacturer got in DB was a function of the Advertising money spent with them. In the same issue KTM has a couple of great full page adds. Bad theory I guess. Even the prices of the KTM's are in line with the jap bikes, quality, stock is better, help me here guys, what am I missing. Do they just have a bad case of yellow fever? [/QUOTE]
