They don’t overcome proper suspension setup but I used one years ago and felt it gave the rear of the bike a more stable feel. I bought one last winter for my son‘s KTM 85 and we spent a day testing, taking it on and off, and the back of his bike was definitely more controlled in the braking bumps...

I haven’t done the best job over the years keeping my awards together. Got them spread between a few sheds and a cargo container. I snapped this while the wifey was cleaning out the front yard shed while I was loading bikes a while back.

In stock form, it had almost too much bottom and was lacking up top. It took a few rides to realize it was geared pretty low and after a few sprocket changes he's happy with the top, shifting less and still pulling out of tight corners strong. I still tinker with motors from time to time and will get a...

He really likes it. We've spent the last few weeks setting it up for him, as he'd been on Austrian 85s for the last few years. Now that we have spring rates and gearing dialed in, he's riding as well as he ever has.

I just checked with one of the higher-ups on the KTM US side; he said as of this morning, it's not happening. They also said this was started by their agent without proper authorization or go-ahead.

Man, I would love to make that happen, but that dream all but died about 10 years ago, ironically, when the new US importer, Cam, sent his new 144 motor from Canada for the treatment. After the middleman machinist went mia for a few weeks with the crank, I decided the arrangement wasn't going to work.

From just a couple of hours on this bike, I'd say likely yes, but to be fair, we haven't tried an 85. He's already comfortable on it, and it's all around faster than his 105 supermini, but we haven't tried a built Austrian 112. Heard too many reliability stories after stroking the 105. I may get an 85 for next...

Your kid looks Fast . Every detail of the bike is Wow . Good to see the hgs back on Tm,s the 125 changed . Got to hv good topend with that short head pipe . That pipe design is extensive. You can order a 125 with factory race porting . Can you order a 112 that way. The frame is basically a mini crf 250. I could see that chassis being able to do more in the rough than the others . Probably hits rough lines consistently.
