KTM to sell "Works" parts..

[O3RM125]

Wonder what the MSRP will be for a bike with all that on it, and if other manufacturers will pick up on this as well. Good idea for "privateer" racing teams.

KTM isn't the only one offering a factory race bike to the public. GasGas is offering a Nambotin replica EC300R this year. http://www.gasgasuk.com/gas-gas-news.php?id=304

yeah, but who'd ever want a gasgas?

KTM has done this for years just at not quite the same level, they have offered SXS works suspension through the KTM Hard Parts catalog for quite some time already.

I've always wondered why other manufacturers never did the same, seems like a really money maker to me.

Anyone who actually wants a bike that turns well and doesn't kick the back end in the whoops. :nener:

agreed. While there are those privateers who would benefit greatly from such a parts service, there are also all those saps out there who will buy it just because it's available and "the best".

Ha! Just think of the beating you would take when the time came to sell your GasGas factory race bike! :nod:
