Cairoli makes that thing work in Europe , so does Musquin.

That was a great Mag at on point in time, but not anymore. It is like People magazine for MX/SX.

it is still the best Motocross mag out right now, no matter what anyone say's.........

Read his quote.

the KTM is a pile-o-fucking shit as a motocross scooter.

The track today looked pretty Euro compared to the previous 2.

Blame the rider at the track on this day. Bad day.
800 won a moto on this bike, 2nd at GH to another KTM, KTM leads the Europe series.
Just the facts.
I just hope no one starts blaming their equipment on their poor results.
Running out of teams and bikes to get paid to ride.
I think he was on a pretty good bike with a pretty good team last year..........
And no I don't own a KTM. Just a Honda and a few sweet 83 Husky's

I stand corrected, apparently it's normal for the bike to handle bad and swap out constantly.

How could the great Bauer be wrong after all he did moon Hannah back in the day.

I watched his bike closely last week and this week and it looks very unsettled to me. The back end is all over the place. If you watch his bike compared to Dungey's, there is a very noticeable difference in how planted they are through the rough sections and in the corners.
Wtf does this prove? Etiher of you have no friggen idea what that suspension works like. And comparing dungeys and alessis bike through different sections, pshhh thats like comparing apples to oranges. Stupis posts IMO.

Lemmie guess... you own a Yamahondazuki right? If you actually knew anything about motocross, you would know it's 75% RIDER & 25% equipment. I see you post a lot so I'm guessing you're just trying to rhile up some KTM owners, & really aren't that stupid....

My 2 cents, at least the way it looked on TV......
The bike was fine!
I think Mikes lines & or line selection was way off his normal
sharpness for sure and it really showed. I bet when he sees the
tape he'll realize the same. Sometimes his line choice was so brazen
that had he been on a 450 he would have been spit off, but I think at times
he rode the wheels off his bike. It was just overall poor line choices.
You could see it.
Dave O. Wink
Spot on. Same as last race in Texas. At the start if the second moto, Mike was pushing, riding erratic and getting passed. Then, he smoothed his lines, calmed down and quickly walked away from everyone and had a big lead, until he went down. The bike looked like it didn't handle well at first, then it looked great. He looked the same on the Suzuki. Its the rider and the set-up, not just a bad bike, that is ridiculous.

Do you know anything about watching a rider and seeing what you are watching? You don't think someone can watch a rider and see what the bike and rider are doing? I guess Roger and all those other team managers should quit trying to help their riders by watching what the bike is doing. Your post appears to be the stupid (not stupis) post by the way!

Mike looks like shit on the 350. He wont win more then one or two more races this season on it, and if you look back at how he was just wrecking most guys on the 450 maybe you would understand why people say Mike and the 350 are a bad fit. He wont win the title on it, and might not even top 3 overall in a weak class. You getting butt hurt and ranting wont change that.

I've been one of the biggest advocates for KTM & the 350. But:

Today that bike looked like crap. I don't think it was the 350, more set-up and lines. He was taking very different lines than other riders, hugging the inside allot. Don't know if those lines were just worse & more choppy, or if the bike set-up was that shitty.

if they are going to say it's like a 250F seems to me they will have to rail the corners to carry momentum like the 250F class does, you can't out power the 450 running the inside line the torque of a 450 will win every time.
