Wey or No Wey?

If was on the Honda he would be top ten .It's the KTM .

Yeah, a kTM cursed Davalos with a podium last night. How mean of them.

The 250's seem to work OK. the 450's not so much indoors.

hes wey done!

When was the last time a KTM was on the podium in SX in the big bike class?

Mike Fisher maybe?

RC could do it...

The main problem for Nick is that KTM NA doesn't care about SX/MX they are still using Jon Pentons mentality that off road is more important to bike sales, so they considerate on the WORCS , Enduro & woods guy's & left the SX/MX to be farmed out to whoever. I'm not saying anything bad about MDK, but it's only there first year with the KTM's & it will take time.

So the KTM is still setup like a European GP bike & that just doesn't work in supercross, If they would get some of the real factor stuff for suspension & some one that knows the WP suspension better, Nick would do better.

Plus the way the a KTM handle's is very different then any of the Japanese bike do & ti's take a lot of getting used too.

If Wey can stick it out this year, next year the KTM's will have linkage.. You heard it here, 1st! " title="Smile">

Gibbs Racing needs to add Wey to the team...


That enduro bike is his problem...even MC had issues

Ha Ha. What a bunch of TOOLS. The bike. Yeah, right.

alessi did alright on the KaTooM's... i think wey is not used to the ktms yet...

He's Wey off the pace.

Is it the bike? No.

Ricky, James, and Chad could all win on it I bet. MC...ha! He was on his wey...errr, way out anyways. He used the bike as an easy excuse.

The KTMs are a package with a lot of potential, but some guys have a lot of trouble adapting to them. Plus the KTM 450SX is completely unproven in supercross, and its telling that there is only one out there every week. Wey, Supercross and this KTM are just not meshing right now.

I think he will turn it around and have one of the best seasons of his career outdoors. The KTM is at no disadvantage there whatsoever.

AGREED!!!!
I know its a factory gig and is a better move in terms of money for him and his family but hella not on results so for this season.

Heres to hoping the rest of NYKs goes much better

Bike or not it's no secret that he is unhappy with the bike.

The Alessis did better on the KTM's so far........Wey may not be happy with the bike but its a very capable ride.

Here's a guy who knows what's going on

as well as DL

Funny how all the KTM guy's get so butt hurt cause their color won't work for SX. They aren't that great in MX either, but they are better there .

At one time Wey was unhappy with his PC KX 125 also.

[quote="WhKnuckle":3t0nuwjp]BTW, riding a 500 in the woods was a blast. Gearing was a little high but very, very fun.[/quote:3t0nuwjp]
Sam when you gonna let me chase you in the woods? You missed one awesome race at Powell Ranch. I was sick with the damn flu so my lap times were crap, but was great fun for sure. Did you go to the National Forest?

How many Supercrosses did Mike race on a KTM 450? Zero.

[quote="WhKnuckle":29amuxhr]Come to Outlaw sometime and you can get all the woods riding you'd ever want. Lots of fun.[/quote:29amuxhr]
Im very familiar with that place. About 8 years ago (before there was that club out there) I was working with GB Williams about hosting scrambles on that property, gorgeous place for sure. Let me know when I came come ride if you have a guest pass and I will be there.

results speak for them selfs , KTM 450 and the indoors = no results outdoors there better but he should of stayed where he was at . honda 450 = shoot out winner year after year

the KXF got in a win as well not to mention ive heard the yamaha is actually a better bike this year than the honda from someone who has spent alot of time on both ...

I think Reed may disagree with that comment about the yamahas being better than hondas.
