Title: Taddy B. on the KTM 350SX.
Post by: yo_marc on August 16, 2011, 04:13:11 PM

A short article on Taddy Blazusiak talking about the KTM 350SX-F (vs, a 250 2T) in Endurocross. (http://www.ktm.com/news-events/news/all/details/news/detail/News/taddy-blazusiak-talks-about-the-ktm-350-sx-f-and-winning-the-x-games-gold.html)

Anyone want to discuss religion or politics while we're at it?   ::) ;D

The guy may actually be discussing physics here,you know all those gyroscopic effects of a 4T favoring a straight line verses the reduced mass of a 2T when you have to save it.Or,more likely,KTM shoving a huge wad of cash into his back pocket. ::)

It's also another way to hype up their 350SX-F.

Too bad that yet another great rider switches to the dark side. . . :-\

I have to agree with SachGS. Endurocross is 5 straight lines. Also, in simplest terms he is right; the 4-stoke is faster since it has more horsepower for similar weight. I can't say for the 350 though but my guess is it is the best of both worlds. The light weight of the 250 (albeit higher) and the power of the 450F.

Politics? They are all crooks and should be fired. Even if we were to get rid of 1 or 2 good ones, it would be worth it in the overall scheem of things.

Religion? I am a RACIST. I worship racing!

Money Money Money.

KTM have spent shit loads of money developing & promoting the 350.
The 300 smokers sell themselves.
So why not put their best rider on what they need to sell.
That is all KTM have done.
Think about it if KTM waived a big check in front of you , you would say what they tell you.
All the cool kids will now want one because Taddy likes it.

All the older guys will just buy another 300. ( Down under the biggest market for 300's is 40+ riders ) We dont need marketing to.

PS. Taddy would win on a XR400. ;D

So is Taddy going to ride that 4T at Erzberg? If so it will be VERY interesting to see if he can still win THAT event on it. He is a trials rider, yes? How much more does the 360SX weigh than his trusty old 250 2T? What are those big rock piles going to be like on the 360?
