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

I was riding a 2001 KTM. O'yea kicking some new ktm's butt. Old is better than new.

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.

'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.
