....but they still finished 2 and 3 in the big boys class and 1st in a Regional class.

Good job by the KTM riders and crews Cool

And how AWESOME is it that all TLD Honda boys finished in the Top 10?

Yeah, it's hard to talk smack when they're #1 MXGP, #1 MX2, #1 250SX West, 2nd, 3rd & 6th in 450SX and #1 in 1/2 dozen off road series'.. And next year with Deano, Dungey and Anderson on the KTM 450 they'll be a solid team again..

Anderson is going to be on a Husqvarna, if Rockstar does indeed switch brands.

Yep....They are going out with a whimper IMO. I won't be surprised if it isn't too far off that one of the "Once Big 4" just start slapping BNG for like 5 years then just stop all together.

I can't disagree. It is too bad because, they are great bikes but the way they run their show screams "don't buy our bikes".

KTM has come a long ways, I still think Kawasaki and Suzuki at the Factory level are slightly better,

in the past I wouldn't ride a KTM if it was free, now day's I would not hesitate to buy one.

Although KTM finished 2 and 3, and 6, and that is a stellar result with a complete new bike only 4 years in production, but to me it seemed they lost a little bit of what they had at the start of the year. Maybe they couldn't progress much from the off season set up they started with and the other teams gained more but Roxzen definitely wasn't challenging for the lead like the season start to me. And Dungey was just Dungeying along as he always does to a very credible 2nd. And 3rd in a rookie year for Kroc is awesome too.

Well done to Dunge, Kroc, Shorty and Ando and all the guys at KTM USA and world wide that developed these bikes to the weapons they now are anyway.

I was thinking this to myself and then read your comment, the rims are funky looking. Maybe orange powder coating to match the frame would look better.
