First time? I thought he'd tested both the 350 and 450.

I think I remember him saying he tested the 350 first for SX and decided to go with it without testing the 450.

Aright. Surprised they're not pushing Andrew to ride the 350 outdoors.

Decoster made it quite clear in his Racerx interview it was upto the rider.

KTM is just killing the marketability of this bike with these decisions. I think the 350 is the ideal bike for the common man, but putting it up against the 450s in the pro ranks and possibly pulling their ridiers off it to put them on a 450.....no one is going to buy it.

I don't think so. I think very few average riders base their buying decisions on pro race results these days.
