Title: 4 stroke shootout
Post by: Rain Man on November 26, 2004, 08:26:37 PM
today I got my monthly scrip to dirt rider mag and lo and behold, a 250 motocross 4 stroke shootout !!!  All Rising Sun.:(  
 what !!
   no Katoom's.[?] Am I missing something up here in the North East ?
4 Strokes are the wave of the future, and I'll be dammed if I'll go with the "rising Sun"

Maybe KTM isn't buying enough ads in the mag. so they leave them out.

KTM does not have a 250 fourstroke motocrosser here in the states which is why there was not one in the test.  They have a hot one they have been racing in Europe winning the World GP on it.  It is a light weight revver.  You will see those raced by Alessi and crew this next season but will probably not see them for sale till later in 05.

Larry is correct, but heed the words of the old Master.  Did I say old?  I meant wise.  I remember the days at Honda and our bike reports were almost as good as the money we spent with that magazine.[8D]  True story.
