Dungey on a 125

See on Vital that at a KTM sponsered event in Sac Ca
Dungey rode both the 125 and 250 2 stroke and nobody bothered to film it except one 10 second clip..

you would think this would have been a big deal... but maybe John Q. Public is still more interested in the 4t?..... or simply was a last minute appearance? (I rode my KTM 125 today and loved every minute of it!!!)

I'd say its just another effort to make the foopers look better. We can't have pro riders riding bikes that aren't in their contracts. Maybe he was just testing or just fooling around. Either way, would've been good to see a pro on a real bike right?

I'd love to hear what the pros REALLY think about the current state of motocross. No cameras, no microphones, no dark interview rooms, just discussing it over a tallie. That would be something to hear wouldn't it. JM has already dealt his opinion, thankfully. But Carmichael who raced and was incredible of the last generation of two stroke moto/supercross and then went to the foopers. He would've seen alot of changes same as JS7 and Chad. I maintain that James is much faster on the screamers. Even in that vid of him riding a YZinger 250 around his backyard track he looked faster, and sounded much better :P

JM came up when 2t's still ruled the tracks, I am not surprised that he said that... most other Pro riders would probably say on payday, it is 4t all the way... it is what it is.

Dungey did say on his twitter thing that he had a blast riding the 125. Maybe after he sews up the championship he will get to race a stroker at one national like Roczen did last year..

I don't understand why he doesn't practice on a 125/150/250 smoker.  I would think it would require him to use/see more of the track, look for different lines, and help keep his already extreme fitness at a high level.  I would like to see him having a morning practice session on a smoker, and then jumping back onto the stroker would be a good thing...

Just my $.02 worth

  Who is JM ?  I,m surprissed Dungey didn,t ride a RM 125 at all, when he was at Suzuki. His 125 b class ride at LL , on  JM Racing RM 125 got him his factory ride. He never mentioned JM racing or thanked them, the same with all the other JM Racing riders, kinda of weird.

I think 4 stroke dirtbikes are a phase, kind of like "Glam Rock" in a way. You see the whole world subscribing to it, and you wonder how everyone could be choking down so much Kool Aid and Spam... Then 10 Years later, nothing's left but the timeless stuff from before and after..

I agree that it would definitely make him look for better lines and quite possible improve on both his skill as a rider and his already peak physical condition.
But to take the WOT, railing the outside line attitude and riding style back onto a 250F or 450? He'd do nothing but crash out. The riding styles, attitudes and lines are sooo different it would kill his skill on the four joker I reckon. You can't ride a four stroke like a two stroke its unhealthy. Thats my experience anyway.
