Which would be quicker, but because, in his mind, he knew that button was there, he lost time. Bummer!
Again. E-legs on MX bikes = Pussies on wheels.
I've stalled on more muddy hills than you've seen. Taking the weight of the bike when that happens is the real killa. Less chance of stalling a lighter bike.
"If you argue with an Idiot, they'll just drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience every time". Now ya thinking.
RD#5's KTM is AWESOME!. No doubt, the "yardstick" in the comp ATM. But. E-legs on MX bikes are GAY. There's no argument to be had.
I'll assume that was the final word on the topic.
BTW. Did you think I was serious about him losing time? LMAO. Thanks.
The Shop
I did think you said he stopped the bike though. My mistake.
I think the new Kato MX'ers are the business. Hence my statement about him "cheating". The bike is that good. Don't like the E-start though. If it doesn't make the bike better, I don't want it on the bike. Essentials only. They are Race bikes after all.
I do understand there's a weight limit for the AMA, (making this debate entirely moot), but personally, I'd much rather a kicker and less weight.
I ride for fun. Less weight = more fun, IMO. Kicking a bike is nothing new for me and has It's advantages. Kicking the bike gives you feel for the engine. You know when there's something wrong before you start the bike.
The new Kawies look awesome. Slightly less power but more "rideable", sounds good to me. Can't wait to throw a leg over one.
That KTM RD#5's riding ATM is mighty Impressive. Even with the E-leg
Stoked to see Kawasaki make a substantial effort to lose some weight of the bike. Hopefully the new RMZ when it comes out, will have done the same.
I like Yellow. I literally did just pick a color lol.
If I chose the KTM, I'd take the E-leg off if possible. No weight limits where I race.
I'm not brand loyal, I'd buy a 2016 YZF. They come in Yellow lol. When I did race I was on Kawies. KTM200 is my all time favorite bike.
Apparently. All my X-mas's will come at once in 2017.
BTW, the 2016 production bikes won't be anywhere near the light weight of what RD#5 is riding ATM. The production model Kawies may even be lighter than the Kato's next yr?
Championships are won on your bad days, by minimizing your mistakes. Have you ever raced? Never crashed, or stalled it in a corner while you were exhausted and lost a bunch of positions while restarting your bike? E-start can save you in times like that, and those positions you didn't lose can make the difference between winning and losing a championship if you're in a good points battle.
Second place is the first loser is not a good attitude to have if you're competing in a series, unless you win every race, and then you're probably sandbagging.
Rant over. Those new Kawi's look bitchen! Can't wait to read some more reviews. This e-start/KTM BS should be in a different thread.
Why don't you guy start your own post and leave this one alone, so maybe that way someone with a 2016 KX450 can actually post something!
Thanks
If you did want a 2016 KTM review, that may've actually been possible. Ironic!
Fair enough
Pit Row
Evidently someone has a 16 kawi as TWMX rode one... The thread is asking if anyone else has one that can either confirm or deny what their report was. Not sure why you guys have to come in here and start a KTM debate.... Jeeeese
You lot are just a bit slow.
"Patience is a virtue".
Hopefully they figured out how to fix the raspy ass stock exhaust tone.
I just bought the one my Ca dealer said he had and had crated.
So its now uncrated, sold and sitting in the back of my truck!
Its wasn't cheap but being the first one not bad.
I've got one for the racer crowd in here... Me and Ricky Carmichael were talking about electric start when we were in Japan, guess which one he wanted.
Post a reply to: 2016 KX450 Anybody got one?
