    I agree. I've had three 450's, 2003 CRF, 2003 YZF and 2004 CRF. I've also owned numerous 2 stroke bikes over the years: Hondas, Yamahas, Kawis and KTMs. Never had Suzuki motocross bike (love their quads). KTMs are stacked with quality parts off the showroom floor: Excel rims, Renthal bars, hydraulic clutch, etc. and always have class leading power. The only shortcoming KTM has had over the years in the MX department is their suspension. I haven't owned a bike since 2005 so maybe they have perfected it now. For woods riding/racing and off road, KTM rules.

    This is the replacement truck for my 97 frame rot truck. Need to get a game plan for mods!
    Huskies have hydraulic clutches, Ohlins suspension, Excel rims, etc... another top of the line parts bike... they don't skimp! They have long been woods weapon specialist.

    That Toyota bike is bad @ss! Did it say when it was going to come out?
    From the look of it, it look's like it might be a race bike for a race team?
    Look at the engineering on that, the frame is cut out, kinda look's like a duel exhaust, milled aluminum parts, etc.

    It will be interesting to see how this will do, if they decide to do full production bikes.

    I kinda wish we had an American company that could make some good bikes. I heard that Polaris was going to possibly make dirt bikes. Does anyone know anything on this? I think it would be great.
    Anyways thanks for letting us know on this.

    Cool, thanks for the info. And I didn't read your post below the first one, that's why I didn't know it was basically a YZ.

    I have a KTM 450EXC and a 07RMZ450 and 05 DRZ400. Ive had tons of bikes. I seem to always migrate back to Zuki. I had a couple hondas. The XR series were deff indestructable but all these new race bikes require tons of work regaurdless of the brand. The woods style KTMs (EXCs) and DRZ 400 E are bullet proof and require little maintanance. Im always changing the old and checking my valves on my RMZ

    Husqvarna FTW! I own a 2006 TE610, 2008 TE250 and a 2007 WR300. They all have their place and use but for woods work I prefer the WR. The new TE310 for 2011 looks like the bomb for a new woods weapon though, saving my pennies!:)
