I did the 4mm over (144cc) piston on my 05 125sx. Currently have a 2010 150xc. The current KTM150's which is really a 144 is a bored and stroked motor that has a lot more mid and low end than what my 05 125 with a 4mm oversize piston had. If you buy a bit of a worn out 150...

When is a 40,000$ 250f engine leveling the playing field for the privateers? Payton says this is how much a top 10 engine costs.

Mitch_Berger Added a reply to Ethanol in Iowa: Good for motors?

Omara, Bailey and Hannah and got along on team Honda back in the day. They pushed each other in a good way. I would expect no less from the Red Bull riders.
