It is out dated compared to the rest of the bikes on the line. Yamaha is being extremely cheap right now due to the slag ing economy.

Cunningham crashed with Baggett at the start. Only a total of 2 made it into the night show. Kyle Peters would've been another one but apparently he's hurt.

So how fast do you have to be to get an orange frame on your KTM? I noticed all the guys, even privateers, have orange framed machines. I like the new KTM's, but not a fan of the black frames.

We saw this HUGE rise in Kawasaki sales when they did their big contingency as well. They have since backed it down and the sales followed. The same can be said for KTM - if you're a privateer and don't receive any help from a shop...why not ride one? just to make the mains in AX - that's $800 even if you come in last!

They'll keep this program going for a few years just like Kawi did but when they back it down, the sales will follow.

My son also but no go with a broken wrist Sad . I do have confidence in the 250f we had built and that it will compete with the other brands, hes riding it in the outdoors.

I think Zach could have won on a geico Honda or PC kwacker. He is that good.

What is this. They have 16g plus 8b equals 240g's
Then 10g plus 20g equals 340g's. I'm confused.

Event purse per race times the number of races in the season.
