Premixed knows what front fender/number plate are going on his 125SX of Doom, and that will be the Cycra vented version of the 2013 KTM SX plate/fender.

Hey, if you are "in" with the boys at KTM, tell them to submit the paperwork so that thing can be raced in the AMA Pro Nationals, otherwise it's just the world's coolest play bike.

I like the way the plastics look. They all just blend together nicely with the orange stripe. But cosmetics mean nothing unless its backed by some power  ;D

Like 7 more than a YZ, which is such a huge gap its made the YZ obsolete at this point.

Amen to that.  Its time for KTM to step up to the plate on this issue.

It's blatantly obvious what they are doing.  They don't want to compete against their own machinery.  In all the enduro series, they made sure the two-stroke is legal, because they race it.  They only care about submitting paperwork for their own team's sake, not the every-man. They day the paperwork gets submitted will be the day (before) Dungey shows up on a 250SX and that's not happening.

If ktm thought they could destroy the competition with their 250SX they would have filed the paperwork and would be kicking arse right now.

why?

because if they was to happen people would stop buying KXF/YZF/CRF bullshit and KTM two stroke sales would skyrocket to never before seen levels.

they havnt filled out the paperwork because KTM is reeping from the 2T enthusiast argument of "mannnn, if it were allowed to  race it would kick some serious ass"

if it weren't to kick arse as we all seem so confident about,  KTM would be far worse off because their model range would then be relegated to "woods bike/enduro only" status.

Im far more disapointed that I zoomed in to the pictures and suspect it still has a carburetor haha...


my money is still on the HUSKY for 2013 EFI... I wouldnt put real money on it, but Im reduced to clutching straws each year when they dont produce what the rumour mill predicts haha

PS: the same rumour mill that produces the KTM EFI stories is the same that produces the "250SX would kick the 450F" rumour !


Im just stirring the pot. no need to a full on argument fellas :P

The Ossa is already fuel injected.  I am just waiting to see a moto version.

I can't see the pics...it's all "x".   Bummer that it's blocked at work. 

So, you say it's a carb version.  I'm not sure why some of you are so hung up on EFI.  I don't want a heavier 250 2-stk.  Let the 4-stk go the wrong way (gain weight) until they figure out how to make FI lighter then slap it on a 2-stk.

the two stroke needs a whole new engine design to put the oil specifically where it needs to be, rather than just dissolving it in the gas.  That's the whole issue.  The outboard boat motors have solved it.  When it trickles down to motocross bikes, I think that is when you are going to see a two stroke revolution.  But right now, they are just dressed up versions of 25 year old technology and thats the problem.  There is nothing inherently different about the 2013 250SX than say the 87 YZ125. its a carbed, liquid cooled, pre-mixed 250 with a powervalve.  The ports are better, it makes more power, but essentially there are no core design differences.  One is just a much better version of the other.

Wait until they have an autolube type system injecting it directly into the bearings and a little onto the skirt, and the only thing that goes into the tank is fuel.  Let them play with the fueling and ignition mapping to smooth the power out even further, and I think then you will see a revolution, and a very very quick one.  But until then, I just don't see a bike like that getting it's foot in the door with the current pro rules.

The YZ is not obsolete at this point. It still has a great motor, putting out impressive power, with a very usable power curve. I've ridden both the KTM and YZ250. Yes the KTM has more power, but the YZ has more low end grunt. The difference in the curve make the bikes better for different riders. Not to mention the suspension and chassis on the YZ was superior. However, the KTM has so much mid range power it's just stupid, I wheelied past the guy riding my bike when I was on the 250sx.

So far from the 2013 250sx, I see nothing to get excited about. I want to see some engine specs.

I agree?  KTM 2 strokes sell with out any real marketing.  The strokers are being marketed, especially the 350.  If their 2 stroke would even come close to getting onto a podium, they'd have warehouses full of thumpers they could not sell.  KTM dealers cannot keep the smokers in stock now, imagine what would happen if they raced in an SX or outdoor race

I'll say it again We need a "new" promoter for MX and SX in the USA that allows real racing with 2 strokes!

just temporarily get a job with KTM USA (pretend to be a pimply faced 15 yearold wanting work experience) and then when the boss goes to take a dump, sneak into his office grab the AMA paperwork... cross out 350/450 and replace with 250SX :D
