RACING Liked a reply to forum topic BAJAJ comments on KTM missmanagement
11/15/2025 4:33pm His rant about thousands of managers is total BS. He seems to consider that all his "white collars" are useless since they have "nothing to do with producing motorbikes". Yeah, right, R&D, design, marketing are overloaded with totally futile managers and didn't have anything to do with KTM's rebirth in the last 25 years... One thing seems clear: the brand we knew is gone.

TeamGreen Liked a reply to forum topic BAJAJ comments on KTM missmanagement
11/15/2025 4:31pm My observations over these last few uears… KTM has been in Bicycles for many years. It’s the recent eMTB expansion that I think most people are pointing at as a business mistake…as commented on by Bajaj. KTM made money “hand over fist” during 2020-2022 and never learned to tone it down when things (the market) started slowing to a normal pace in 2023. The way things were going, the way the company was being managed, the money owed and the money that was continuously borrowed…well…the Bajaj take over became inevitable. Likewise, Bajaj changing things to a profit model of their...

11/15/2025 7:37am Why should dealers be responsible? If Triumph won't stand behind it then bitch at them. The dealers just sell what the manufacturer makes, they aren't on the hook for junk parts/design.

11/14/2025 11:36pm 1. KTM: new orange colour scheme looks killer; 2. Honda 2026 CRF450R; and 3. Yamaha 2026 YZ450F. I am sure there is a Beta somewhere in there for its colour scheme as well.

tahoefd Liked a forum topic An email to AMA's Mike Pelletier on MXdN
9/26/2025 11:54pm I don't know if this is too little, too late, or if he even cares what I think, but i figured I'd give it try. As a side note, I couldn't find a direct email address to Pelletier, so I sent this to the general "contact the AMA" form. I'd rather USA fight for 2nd place than have an egocentric punk ride for our team. From Racer X: “I would like to offer a sincere appreciation to the versatile Justin Cooper for his unwavering dedication and professionalism,” Pelletier added. “Justin is continuing to train at the highest level in an...

9/23/2025 7:39pm Once Deegan does the second takeout move the black flag should’ve been thrown out. The probability of Shimoda being the one down with a broken collarbone was just as big as Deegan. The lack of officiating made the sport look like a circus yet again.

PRY Added a reply to Deegan docked 5 points (I think)
9/21/2025 10:00am What an ass Deegan made of himself and Yamaha! He deserves more than a 5 point penalty. That type of trailer trash riding is not what one expects from a championship rider. Goes to show, money does not buy you class.

9/14/2025 2:31pm the AMA gave Kitchen a warning? Good lord. Deegan barely even fell over. When Deegs punted Davies, not a word from the AMA. they shoot themselves in the foot constantly.....

6/3/2024 11:42pm I think James was able to reflect on the mistakes he made as a racer after he retired and he can give that advice while speaking through experience.

PRY Added a reply to Let's see/review those 2019 kx450s
4/23/2024 12:54am I have to add my 2 cents or pence worth. I bought a 2023 KX450 last year and raced the bike with only suspension mods and with the addition of a Get ECU. Loved the bike, coming off the previous gen YZ450F, 2022. So much so, I bought another for 2024. For this year I went a little further, and...

4/11/2024 12:12am Over the years I have learned that a lot of the dealership guys don't really know as much as we think they do. Hell, we all tend to know more than they do.
