I am here with my mouth watering thinking about how the future will be......

Dreaming that KTM will release it within the next two years, so it will be my next bike....

Hopefully its won't weigh more than 5-8 pounds than the 2012....

Just think about it, with some head mods, high comp piston, and race gas it should be hitting close to 45 HP!




then Ken will race one in the nationals!

So it will weigh more, cost more, be more complicated, yet have less hp than a modern carbed 250SX?

I guess I don't get it. But then I don't get tiddlers and their riders unless they are 12 years old.

Rode my carbed 150sx at a wooped out deep sand track today and was impressed again with the bike. I see no need to complicate a simple perfect bike...........

DI and some "automation" on the exhaust side of things can help this motor make a 4T look "dirty"...

Btw, it DOESN'T have to WEIGH MORE.

I'm jus' sayin'...

I could say the same about those riding the wimpy 250s or 450s. I enjoy riding a 125 as much as I do my 500s.

2012 150 vs 250

$500 cheaper
12 pounds less
10 HP less

When DI comes are all of the bikes costs and weights will increase..............

But as a whole it will benefit 2 strokes everywhere!

Hmmm....I don't see but about a 1hp gain looking at the scaling.

The only problem with your idea is that the ama believe it isn't fair unless the 4 jokes are double the displacement in the lites class so unless its a DI 125 roczen won't be running it
