Fly bucks and KTM question

#1 Post by Iamdanjohnson » Fri Nov 06, 2015 2:36 pm

Don't forget to send in your results so you can collect your fly bucks. In any results page, just click on your name and it will give you the entire year.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you KTM riders that finished top three were on 2015 or 2016 bikes.

Retired from racing in 2005, but I did make it to the Melvern race this year. Still on a 1998 KTM 250 MXC. Thought about buying a newer bike; but why? The '98 will hurt me just as bad as a '16 model will. Plus 95% of the factory parts are still avaliable from KTM for the '98.

Most Japanese bikes are obsolete from the factory after 2 years. :shock:

'Curious as to how you came up with that statement?

If anything KTM models become more obsolete than the Japanese models do. Japanese manufactures are generally on a 3-4 year model run, where as KTM has changed the KTM 450, what 5 or 6 times the last 8 years?

Not saying it's good or bad, but making a blanketed statement discrediting the Japanese manufactures is not the best way to go.
