11/8/2023 7:15pm You're already seeing a handful of companies producing bikes at or close race-ready (depending on your definition). Do these china bikes need more revision to the engine manufacturing and other parts? Yes. But its not rocket science and I think you'll see a few bikes from china compete with circa 2015 KTM's within the next 1-2 years Will these chinese...

11/8/2023 6:52pm you can really clear laps and small jumps on it. Will be heavy feeling but its a dual sport at the end of the day. Interestingly it does have a linkage, which i think every ktm should have

11/8/2023 6:48pm Ha they don't put up with that identity bs over there. Don't matter how much eyeliner a dude has on a man is a man in those parts of the world

11/8/2023 6:38pm These man-friend types are so pathetic when they start running their mouths and looking for little dramas in the pits after racing. Always hang around friends who never or barely raced in their lives. More than anything really foolish for this Yarrive guy to go starting some scuffle in UAE of all places, where the penalty for a fight is...

11/8/2023 1:02pm I wondered why the broadcast sounded professional and tolerable. Hopefully all the us series remove the inadequate announcers too.

11/8/2023 12:34pm Is it vince's fault that the US government has printed money to a point of worthlessness and now has trouble propping up a rigged services economy? The jobs market here is in reality quite bleak, especially when you don't tick a DEI box.

11/8/2023 12:13pm You might not like me, but I'm making a decent point here. What is a guy like vince friese really supposed to do to support himself at this point? Where's the opportunity for him to do something else? $40-50k a year service/trade jobs don't really hit like they used to

11/8/2023 10:50am So he doesn't have the raw speed to win. What is he supposed to do? Sit at home and compete with you for welfare benefits? Join weston peick and the onlyfans girls in the social media / scam economy? Good on vince for getting out there and doing his damn best to provide for himself

11/8/2023 9:33am Beta, old gas gas (rieju), and even sherco off road bikes all looked eerily similar to KTM's in recent years. Different color KTM's, no. But its hard to argue that these brands weren't manufactured with eyes on a ktm

11/8/2023 9:14am You should have told me not to put my finger in your silencer. i wouldn't have done it if I knew you didn't like it

11/8/2023 9:11am Can you imagine the outrage if I said the frames were different. 1,000 blue haired freaks jump out from all corners of the internet "all frames are created equal, all bikes are inherently the same from birth."
jaysimpson Added a reply to What are all these brands seeing in the sport now?
11/8/2023 9:07am Exactly this. I spent a few years doing a lot of commuting on a ktm690. Great on gas and pretty fun to get around traffic. But you can't even ride it comfortably in winter and then the exact dynamic you said, always being hyper aware and also terrified of someone pulling out from nowhere. After so many close calls and...

Yea ppl driving and texting is why me and my dad both quit riding on the street. A close family friend of ours was killed on his harley 2 years ago by a distracted driver and that was the final straw. The writing had been on the wall already, but that did it, after that it was impossible to enjoy riding on the street again. You have to ride so defensive and be so hyper aware of what everyone is doing and trying to predict everybodys moved 3 moves in advance that its exhausting and not enjoyable. Sux, but off...

11/8/2023 6:11am Does the radiator shroud plastics on this old beta not look similar to the husaberg and 2014/15 husqvarna? Pretty crazy the overlap and evolution of parts between the models. Yes i understand the engines are made in house and had some extreme evolution over the last few years. But to say that the current beta frame has nothing to do...

11/8/2023 6:04am To me it seems like a no brainer for Prado to race the first few rounds. Not racing just leaves some money on the table. The risk of injury is relatively low with how high his skills are. They are probably thinking that since he can't start on the 250, that a soft entry to the 450 class is for...
