    It's great too see thatKTM have finally made Moto go bikes in all levels from 125-250-300-600-800-1000. It's only going to be a short time b4 they will win titles

    Brad Binder won the MotoGP at Brno last Sunday on a KTM. First time for a KTM and first time for a South African to win one.

    Guy that works for me is a sr mx rider, this year he switched to ktm- he had to send the suspension off to the guy in CA that does valving etc for the pros, after that he's been getting faster and faster. It's working for him!

    There's a price though- stuff like rebuilding the suspension a few times a season due to increasing stiction, and he says he can feel the fork oil degrade in a couple rides and he needs to replace it.
