It may be a KTM in blue plastic but if this is the case,it would be the first time.Berg has their own team of designers in Sweden though they are manufactured in Austria.A look at the new Berg 4t's as compared to the new KTM's show a completely different engine/chassis-as it has always been.Since the purchase,Berg has been somewhat of a test bed for new ideas that may/may not find their way on to KTM's.A much smaller market if it doesn't work out I suppose.While many parts are shared,many are different and many look the same but aren't.For example,the PDS rear of a Berg is different,mounts different,is angled different and is valved different.I always thought it was pretty smart of KTM to set up Berg this way rather than just absorbing them.Different teams with different ideas and so on.I've owned both and ridden others and much prefer the Berg chassis and was comfortable buying one knowing they had KTM quality and components.
As for the 2t,it may well just be a carbon copy but would still be a good bike.Typically KTM's and Bergs aren't sold from the same dealer so rumor has it the intent was to give Berg dealers a 2t option given the increasing popularity of 2t's these days.Smart move imo.On the other hand,after KTM took "Ready to Race" from Husaberg and replaced it with "Fourstroke Force" you have to wonder what it will be now.Maybe "Two Stroke Domination"
