Oregon Comrade Added a reply to Kawasaki is bringing the two stroke back!
8/6/2026 2:21pm The same can basically be said for the "XC" line of KTM's, they use a semi-close ratio trans (in between a SX and XCW) and in the case of the 450 XCF (up until recently) they are exactly the same trans. The transmission are more different than you think and while 1/2 are the same, practically speaking, you can gear...

8/5/2026 5:40pm LOL - precious, I'm not flywheel weighting anything, I was just poking on the fact that you somehow did some math (per your 16oz comment) based on knowing nothing about the bike.

8/5/2026 8:53am I just can't stomach the Beta RE color scheme, I almost bought one and had planned on swapping out the plastic for the std. RR (black and red).

8/1/2026 11:20am Exactly - the video is legit, I don't believe it was AI or enhanced....but it could be a trick somebody is playing, aka take a screenshot use AI to "make it look like AI" to throw folks off, don't know but nothing in that video looked weird, if I had taken a screenshot it would of looked ok.

Just watched the video again and all of the things being pointed out as AI from the photo do not look anything like that in the video. Can’t wait for the RV video to be released and hear all this nonsense again.

7/31/2026 2:43pm WTF - thats wild. On second look the video didn't look at all like those screenshots, the Renthal bar pad looks legit, the rear wheel looks legit....may of just been a screen shot issue.

They are referring to the photo that was posted as AI I believe. You really gotta be careful these days.

7/1/2026 9:52am NGL - that hit's me with some serious nostalgia, you need to get a Uni-Trak sticker for the swingarm like the 50th anniv. ones: I'm sure you can get those fork legs anodized easily enough

Thinking back to a 1981 RM125 I had as a kiddo.. that thing would rev for miles and had a narrow and potent powerband. That engine had a 54x54 configuration.

6/4/2026 12:56pm One of the issues the 2T's are going to have regardless of how much power they make (and being undersquare only exacerbates the issue) is useable RPM. For equivalent HP, 2T has 3-4k less RPM which means it's generally going to produce more torque but useable RPM is a huge benefit to a 4T...you can get higher RPM out of...

6/4/2026 11:20am Gotta be careful with the torque / low end grunt thing....what a lot of guys think is low end torque is really just engine inertia. Look at a XR400, impossible to stall and sets the gold standard for low rpm, it's very undersquare relative to all it's peers....it has a HUGE flywheel, lots of reciprocating mass but has less torque...

6/3/2026 10:49am Very optimistic of you - reality they would of charged you those fees and then not made it street legal and if you asked to remove it they'd say cool, step aside see the other 50 people standing in line out the door - take it or leave it sucka!

6/3/2026 10:48am Love it now do an enduro version with this color scheme - can you do that?

6/2/2026 8:33am Wow - I was a bit too much of a devil's advocate I suppose, I am shocked SHOCKED there were zero spy photo's of this thing, hard to believe. But here we are and I am very very impressed. If I would of known they were coming out with a MX bike I'd say 0.01% chance they'd make an 'enduro'...

6/2/2026 7:03am Well I am pleasantly surprised - but the "X" version, outside of a headlight, is mechanically every bit the enduro bike a KTM is....it has a wide ratio 6 spd tranny with low 1st gear.
