Nate_Z Added a reply to I thought KTM was moving away from PDS rear suspension?

6/15/2026 6:08pm

I would assume that the SX and XC line gets the new model changes for 28 and then the XCW line gets the updates along with no PDS in 29, based on previous gen model updates...

Great job by Gypsy and what a look at what a cool kid Jo is. No wonder nobody can hate him even Deegan. What an amazing and humble person. Gypsy's got a little bit of Bourdain in him in this. It's cool! https://youtu.be/ERFJRL0GL6I?si=Mc0QVdkt8bWgCOG8

Nate_Z Added a reply to Honda reports first expected annual loss in nearly 70 years

3/15/2026 5:26pm

Lots of armchair executives here, Honda has gone public with the expectation of a net loss for the whole company for the first time in 70 years. No doubt everyone across the company is being asked to tighten the belt to soften the loss, regardless of budget or not.

Trying to get some planning going to meet up with some buddies for Cleveland SX. Hoping to find a nearby track where we can ride Friday, SX Saturday and ride again Sunday. Anyone in the local area know of anything being planned?

1/16/2026 4:13pm

Recent Keefer podcast he had a tidbit at the end where he said the Kawi two strokes are coming, would assume he has some intel. Would not surprise me if they had a surprise unveil some time soon.

EBITDA profitabillity is a misleading insight...I'm sure they have high depreciation and amortization expense so by standard accounting rules still losing money. Potentially favorable from a cash flow perspective, but Warren Buffet has a very famous quote on EBITDA profitability "Does management think the tooth fairy pays for the Capex?"

I'm a big fan of the SKF seals & OEM bushings. Rocky Mountain has both!

I've been running the XC Gear Mako 360 bar clamps for the last several years. Super strong, bars don't get twisted and I feel an improvement in small bump absorption. Keefer had a test where he wasn't as positive on them, but I'm a big fan.

I use the Garmin as the GPS device for the LitPro software. I chose it over the the Racebox because it has a display that makes it easy to see how long I have been on the track with just a glance as I have it mounted on my handle bars. It helps me push for longer motos and it was cheaper so that was a bonus! The only thing it doesn't do is track airtime, which is not a big deal for me.

That's awesome! Curious what you use your Garmin for that the Litpro doesn't do?

I finally got my second ride in today and all I can say is wow, this thing is a beast! I went to IMI again today and the track was in very good shape, especially compared to the last time. I have changed my mind quite a bit on the motor after the second ride, initially I thought it might be a bit softer off the bottom than my 23 SR and may need a bit of tuning to get better throttle response. I am now thinking this motor is magic, no issues with throttle response or bottom end. It...

I picked up mine a couple of weeks ago on the 2nd, it's the best KX I've ever bought and ridden! I have the 23SR and the 24 model as well and the 25 SR is definitely the best! I'm curious to know how many they're gonna make, my dealer here in Arizona said that they were only getting one per dealership. I also don't understand why everyone is hating on the 24 KX 450 about the power, yeah it's a little more mild stock but I put on a full PC exhaust modified the airbox a bit and a...

Picked up my 25 450SR today! Can't wait to see how it compares to my 23 SR. I put 75 hours on the 23 and loved every minute.

We finished up a week long ride based out of Salida mid September and spent a good chunk of time on the Rainbow Trail. I would consider it your average mountain trail difficulty and our group had a lot of fun. Fuel east of salida gets scarce, west of salida you have Sargents and Pitkin. Awesome riding though, will be...
