Here's a wallpaper-sized peek at Tommy Searle's 2010 race bike.

2011 might be closer than you think... Smile

I hope Tommy does the business in the outdoors this year, I don't think you guys got to see the real Tommy for much of last season.

Ah...so you're saying that when guys go overseas they might not look like their usual selves? Wink

Oh, and for the record, Tommy hadn't heard about Glen Helen being removed from the schedule, and he was a little bummed. He did well there last year.

So are they going to let all the teams rolls out preproduction 2011 bikes or just KTM?

The production rule has become a joke, why don't they just can it and let them go full works? It won't put the privateers any further behind than the already are.

Oh yeah bike the looks nice too.

I love the way my orange David Bailey CR500AF looks. Maybe I'm over the pink/red look of Hondas, I used to love it.

In a world of aluminum frames that frame is art.

I agree with DownSouth, just let them go back to full works.

I don't think you'll see one system or the other. Obviously the PDS works great for off-road stuff.

I think KTM's 2011 season is going to start a little earlier, rather than later.

That thing is official! Not sure why people are still down on KTM's? Its not the 80's even 90's anymore. The 450 has the best stock engine out there too.

I belive it works better for off-road stuff.

I just remember all the people saying, "Langston and MC don't know what they're talking about, no linkage works better in SX/MX than linkage."
