Penton/KTM loyality ?

[Rain Man]

Paul, I bought my KTM cause of its heritage, its reliability and the thing sounds great compared to brand X.  I've been to a few races and other than the usual flat tires, I've never seen one with the cases blown to smitherenes. They just seem to run, and run and run.

Thats easy for me. I rode other bikes [other than pentons and KTM,s] in the seventies and they sucked! Who out there has actually rode a 73 or 78 Honda CR...fast, its SCARY! As time wore on I just gave up, why try the jap brands? Even if they do handle as good now they still dont have the enginering or quality of a KTM.
