New 250 RFS motor?

[flea]

Anybody hear the news about the new 250 RFS KTM is developing? I read that it will feature reversed head (rear facing exhaust) cylinder leaning 20 degrees backwards, DOHC gearbox shafts stacked vertically to allow a extra long swing arm. Yikes:scream:

I heard this too, but 15th party. Where did you get your info?

Physically saw the new KTM 450 and 540 EXC's, neat. Lafferty was riding the 450.

I read about in a piece by Alan Cathcart in the latest CYCLE NEWS

Roostafish, we need more detail. Pics perhaps? All of these 450, 540, and 250 RFS are being considered strongly for my next bike.

Sorry guys, no info on the 250. But the 540 and 450 were neat that I saw. I will have pictures, but still have over 10 to shoot before the roll that they are on is up. I'll try to hurry.:p You will read about them in the April issue of Dirt Rider (I think April).
