I don't really like motoUSA that much, but from time to time they actually make some decent videos... Such as this one.

And there is an actual update made to the bike :O, and I'm not talking about different stickers, they have a new exhaust apparently, well at least it looks different.

"Its a stepping stone from the 85cc to the 250f." >:(
The only updates they did, was a more restrictive silencer, and lower compression. And by doing this apparently, it increased the power, and it makes less noise.
-
FUN, fun, fun fun fun.. :)
-
$7,150 or $6,250 fun? Seems like your buying a detuned mx bike strictly for fun. I guess I should be grateful they dropped the price.
-
I would much rather pay that for fun, than pay that or more for a not-so-fun grenade. :)
-
True, LOL, I was tired this morning Charles. I guess I should have paid more attention to your comment.
-
Not a single word about KTM two strokes.I guess we know which advertisers are paying these guy's bills.
-
Yeah, from listening to these guys you'd think Yamaha had a 100% monopoly on the two-stroke market, or that someone would have to be out of their mind to get something that's not Japanese.
-
Yeah, this video doesn't entirely do justice because it presents the two stroke bike as a "stepping stone" rather then an alternative. At least Yamaha still makes two strokes, and I still want a YZ (not 2011 though), but i guess the new KTM models are better.
-
Its a stepping stone because its 1-3 seconds slower...LOL
-
On the other hand... Yes, YZ 125 is a stepping stone. To the YZ 250 :D. I know it will be for me :)
-
^you get it.
-
argghhh...
i miss my yz125..
>:(
-
What gets me is that these commentators act as though it is still the 90's and KTM is just some "fringe player" building enduro bikes and not worthy of any mention at all. I'd like to compare current KTM offroad sales in the U.S. to that of Kawasaki and Suzuki,never mind KTM two stroke sales. There is a saying that "Every great fighter has one last great fight in him" and with Roger Decoster joining KTM I think we are going to see a lot more orange on the finish podium. ;D

I love my Yz125 :)

"Its a stepping stone from the 85cc to the 250f."
It's everyone's favorate muppet JC Hindenburg. Of COURSE the guy who said "if you're going to give me a two fifty, make sure it says hand gernade at the end of it" is going to say that. Hell, he'd say a Maico 500 was a stepping stone to a 250F. a KTM 300 is a stepping stone to a 250F. Have to watch this video yet, but I wonder how his review of a 2 stroke will compare to the lipstick kisses he did for that stupid little quad. Already with this 4-Joke quote thrown in there to boot doesn't sound like he has given this a whirl wind review.
-
Plus the comments about not knowing that other companies make 2 strokes doesn't sound good...

MotoUSA First Ride: 2011 Yamaha YZ250 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_x02SpCPY4#ws)
Seems to be their follow-up here for the 250. I left a comment on the first day replying to some guy who said that equal-displacement was "gay," and now it's the most-up-thumbed comment on the video. The times, they are a changing.
Comparing two engines of equal displacement?! Oh no!? If we let that happen, someone might actually discover that two-strokes are actually better at producing power!
-
Some people are just stubborn.
-
Wow, JC is actually praising a 2 stroke? Maybe the world is changing!
-
No.. you know what, this just proves the puppet theory. A couple years back, Yamaha didn't want the 2 stroke around, they didn't need it. All of a sudden the 2 stroke is cool, and gaining popularity... funny how this works..
-
yeah here in australia ktm is a real big deal. there bikes are always powerful and seem to have a big market share, i mean real big
great video btw but where is the 250?
-
oops i just saw the 250 vid :-[
