And I'm over here contemplating a $400 Garmin. 😂

My Audemars Piguet worth the GDP of Yemen, if this watch breaks, the foreign exchange market will take a twenty-eight percent hit, people will die.

So, as a clarification. Inside the meeting with manufacturers and ProAMA at the time. Yamaha (after having Henry on the 400 and then maybe after the 426?) went into said meeting and said we can't consistently *beat* a 250 2 stroke with less than a 450F. So, don't fool yourself thinking they ever wanted 2 strokes that were "comparable" to the 4 strokes. It was always to delete the 2 stroke. I do not know if KTM was invited to said meeting or not.

Took the day to take her down, grease everything and check all fluids. I added a stiffer shock spring I got from Craig Decker at Enzo Racing. Added a few goodies and graphics. I think it turned out great. I will be taking her to Cycle Ranch in San Antonio to shake her down next week. Be safe out there.

Outstanding! Proper wallet speak, enjoy... ✌️

She's a beaut Clark

You’re never too old for a new 2 stroke!

The fi was a technological leap. However, the carbed KTMs were flat out beasts. Easily, the fastest, most advanced, even prior to fi.

Looks nice! Kawasaki is the only Japanese dirtbike I have never owned. Although I did have a KZ750 that was my first street bike and loved it. If I was twenty years younger, I'd be seriously looking at this as my next bike.

Can't wait to hear a Bills stinger tip on this thing

Thanks for all those awesome pictures!😎

Yep. I wish KTM would’ve negotiated more with DC over allowing 150cc and 300cc 2strokes to compete. They remained oddly silent and let Honda set the rules. Water under the bridge though.

Not Kawasaki related, but 2-stroke related. French publication Motoverte asked some people about the return of the two stroke and here's what the KTM boss in France had to say. I highlighted an interesting part. "We're one of the few manufacturers on the market to have always kept 2-stroke motocross bikes in our catalog. 4-strokes have gained market share because they're easier to ride, but technology has allowed us to smooth out the behavior of 2-stroke engines and broaden their power band, just like with 4-strokes. 2-strokes can be very powerful, but until now, you needed a certain skill level...
