Went to KTM yesterday WOW

[Stryke]

All i can say is im in love with ktm there bikes are just amazing. Everything on them is so perfect from the hydraulic clutch to the linkless suspension to the friggin chain and sprockets. Compared to the japansese bikes the 1000 dollars extra in price is worth it because ur getting moreusand dollars extra in with everything it has on it already. Awome brake roders and wow i compared the KTM rear suspension to the kawis; u are getting at least 3 inches more suspension just wow
wow
wow
KTM is amazing

Well now I feel terrible! thanks Jeff!

Even if Playtex MaxiPad's sponsor DirtWeek, I think I'll stay with the CRF :)

 

[sloopy]

yes ktm are some of the best bikes, who should look at the HUSABERG bikes they are also really nice.

i prefer orange :cool:

 

[CR Swade]

I love the new Bergs', but still keeping my KTM's. Those silly orange bikes don't even let me get sappy about my many past CR's...don't miss them a bit.

theres a 2003 KTM125SX for sale at the dealer for $4400 CND is that a good deal? It looks in good shape.

or is that too high for an 03 ktm125sx

I ride a few new ktms a year and always wonder why they're so popular.... Then again I ride a Husky. Along with TM and GG, Husky make ktms look fairly average handling wise. But at least they are orange :cool:

This is the first time I've ever heard someone say that the KTM linkless suspension is perfect, does it really have 15" of wheel travel? :think:

 

[Yamadad]

KTM's do raise the bar upward. I think that's no coincidence that the Japanese companies are now offer wide pegs, aluminum bars and such. It's all good!

 

[sloopy]

335mm of rear travel

 

[KX02]

My 2002 KX had 330mm of rear wheel travel. My new KX has less. Kaw seems to be following Yamahas lead rather than KTM.

 

[sloopy]

the linkless suspension is a good idea on a trail bike maybe not so good on moto cross. less stuff to go wrong with my bike when i am 50 miles from my truck.

 

[ScottS]

the real advantage to the linkless is the location of the intake on the motor- just compare dyno charts between KTM and any other bike. They consistently make more power and that is the only fundemental difference that i can see.

 

[ScottS]

Oh and you can pop the shock off in 2 minutes if you want to.
