You also have to take into account the amount of bikes entered by brand. If you look at a roster sheet, there are more YZ250fs in the 250 class than any other bike. And in the 450 class, there are a lot of ktms.

That is weird. Wondering...does KTM have a better contingency pay out compared to Husky?

Very interesting indeed because the Husky looks way better...
It would be a better comparison if it showed a ratio of breakdowns for each brand.....ie how many breakdowns per brand vs how many in the race. That would probably explain the husky/ktm difference

Add up each of the above lists and you will get 40 for each class......
And Southwick is not too deep. It would be interesting how many bikes would go out in the deep wet sand like Lommel.
20 Yamaha YZ450F
94 Honda CR 500
90 Honda CR 500
68 BSA Thunderbolt
71 Honda CL 350

That is what i have wondered about too.
It's not like Southwick is a bottomless sandpit and it was dry except in the last moto.
Current fleet of two wheeled vehicles:
- Yamaha YZ450F 2020
- Suzuki GSX-R 600 K7 track spec
- Canyon Sender CF 8.0 2018 Downhill
- White GX Pro 20 Gravel
That table is also a DNF table. Not a mechanical DNF table.

The Huskys are harder to get and less dealers will offer you a deal on the bike because of it.
I posted this in a thread the other day but I've been told by my local KTM dealer that they will never sell a KTM for under MSRP because they're only allocated a certain number of bikes per year and they sell all of them. I can only imagine that Huskys are worse seeing as its harder to find a dealer and there are less of them made.

Yamaha and KTM both have solid contingency programs.
I think the KTM/Husky 450 is the best 450 "race ready" bike you can buy; lightest, pretty much the most powerful, electric start, and great components (air fork is also decent, which I'd be curious how many guys are running a spring fork/SSS conversion kit). The YZ250F just handles really well, makes insane power, and there's a ton of data/info on how to make them run well.
