It is already clear this team is THE team in the paddock? The only REAL Factory team in the World of MX/SX. Man, look for them to have guys like Villopoto, Wilson and other leading AMA riders in the near future. WORLD DOMINATION!!!! There isn't a team in the World can compete with them in the premier class.
Still a bit to go before world domination.
The Shop
(KTM) 28 bike range vs (Yamaha)12 bike range.........hmmmmm
You guys have some great weed over there I see. Holy cow.
For those of us who don't know?
Pit Row
WOW.
I didn't know they sold over ambitious knee jerk reactions over there. I wonder what's going to happen when Ken or Marvin win?
I will agree that the mini bikes of todays time are crazy expensive. Whats even crazier is the fact that people are actually willing to pay that much!
Unless the American economy changes in a hurry, which is isn't and won't, then how can KTM not dominate. As somebody said, David Bailey said team KTM will be the Honda team of the 80's. Anyone who knows the sport agrees with Bailey. I did a story on KTM three years ago about their goal to domination in Europe in the near future. Both Beirer and Everts said their goal was to be like HRC in Europe in the 80's and that is what they are right now.
*Whoever made the poster can't spell... but you get the point.
Here we have teams that compete from a technology and monetary level equal to KTM.
In such a terrible economy we have more teams than ever before and these team have big financial backing. JGR, L&Mc Honda CR 22, Kawsaki, Honda etc etc. Teams like PC are also looking to get in to the 450 class.
Europe shouldn't be confused with America.
Seriously, IMO this win means nearly as much as a championship. Look at the money they had to throw @ Dungey to sign him. I garuntee allot of that was due to KTM being unproven in the SX Class. Now they have a bike that has proven to be on par with the competition. That will make it so much easier to sign other top talent. People like Wilson, Rattray, Barcia & Tomac would be silly to not give KTM serious consideration, back up one year ago & they weren't worth a second look.
