I agree, especially considering Yamaha lead the 4 stroke revolution lol

I was expecting a KTM domination.

To be fair, add up KTM & Husky and it's 1 off from tying for the lead.

Yamaha is the best you can get without spending a fortune on a ktm or husky or one of the smaller brands. Best Japanese you could say.. plus since they have been making the same yz for 16 years everyone has one.

It’s amazing that Ktm would of been close to 0 10 years ago. Amazing what championships will do to a brand.

Hmmm, I wonder how many are those are 4strokes and 2strokes? I was under the impression that most guys around here didn't like the blue pig.

Would also be nice to know how many of each brand are in fact 2 strokes.

I love my blue pig, had an 18, and just picked up a 19, coming off a 17 Ktm, my buddy bought my 18, he’s coming off a 17 Ktm as well, and loves his new blue pig. Suspension and motor are leaps ahead.??

I'm not in the market for a pig. If I was, it would be blue.

I'd say that it's amazing what Decoster will do to a brand, which led to championships AND people buying the bikes (because they are very nice bikes....now).

I’ve got to ride one of the 18+ yz450s I absolutely hate the way my 16 yz450fx handles I love the engine on it beside so much engine braking. But resale on them is practically none I can’t give the bike away. Got mine listed at $4500 with under 30 hours on it.

Surprising results thus far really. At my local tracks I see a lot of KTMs, Honda’s, and Kawi’s and less Yamaha’s and very few Suzuki’s

Lots of KTM’s and Kawi’s around here, probably make up 65% of the bikes at the track. Then equal parts Honda and Yamaha. Descent amount of RMZ450’s. All orange and a sprinkle of blue at the off-road events.

Technically I only raced my 125 recently, so green is my race bike.

well thats right, considering Yamaha and KTM make both then you would rightly think them to be the leaders given the number of 2 stroke only vitards...the Husky numbers are a big surprise to me.
