I am looking to get a new bike soon, I have been riding Japanese bikes for 6 years now but after last night's race it might be time to make a switch. Do you guys recommend KTM or Husqvarna as viable options, which one is better?

Even the factory team cannot get them to handle correctly. Out of nowhere they will just pop out of a rut.

I think it's more of an attempt to get folks to bash KTM.

I'm starting to think that steel frames are overall better, and never "bad".

Maybe not the best all the time, but it is hard to deny that KTM and Husky have gotten this shit figured out.

I've an idea for you mods, new accounts are unable to post anything but emoticons until a trial period of say a month, to reduce douche bags continually creating new accounts to create shit. They've at least got be premeditated in bogus accounts.

Absolutely. Slap an FMF pipe on that rocket and pick up at least 2 more horses.

I own a Husky and recommend it, I also own a Honda and recommend that...really if you want to base your purchase of a brand on one race results then I think you would of purchased a KTM or Husky if the top 10 was all Hodakas!! Smile

You're way off. Forget KTM and forget the Japanese bikes. Apollo bikes (Chinese) are the way to go.

Cheap, AND can do 75 mph!

They are at the top of the manufacturers Supercross points right now and Tomac has won a lot more than Dungey this year
