Pit Row
I also absolutely love the 2004 sx125 of Ryan Hughes.
As for the stock bikes, it doesn't get any better than the 04-06 shape - the sharp angled bodywork makes for a lovely aggressive racer look. The very latest ones, imo, are utterly awful.
Lance was on the track with the 550, why watch anything else? Torque Daddies, worse forks ever😮
A Katoom hero.
The cylinder head is like a compensation masterpiece, like a lifted truck.😀 Everyone comments on the length of that baby.😂
Hence, my old girl.
These WP forks were really popular on the CR for the top riders, maybe Pichon, and Bolley I am sure.

EDIT : I saw this bike once or twice in Germany, on a sandy track at the French frontier (the day of my first time on a kx 60), and unfortunately the kid had some electrical issues, which is a reason why KTM didn't have a good reputation at that time. It all changed around the years 2000, firstly with the rallye then with the 125 that had a very powerful engine.
The best looking KTM ever....... Pic 1.
The next best......Pic 2
Honorable mention in the looks department, although clearly number 1 in the fun department.
