Jap 2 Stroke Production?

Does it not seem coincidental that Roger Decoster arrives at KTM

It was Stefan Everts arrival that made them change.
He insisted on it

I couldn't be happier with my 2011 KTM 250SX.  I didn't want an enduro, but a bare bones mx/sx bike.  KTM IMO is the only option.  The Yamaha is a great bike, but they are getting long in the tooth.  If you are willing to settle for something that dates back to 2005, you can buy any of the big 4's used bikes.  But if you want "updates" it's either KTM or something very specialized like TM/Service Honda.

 KTMs had linkage suspension up until 97 changing to PDS in 98,
therefore 4st KTMs are going back to linkage suspension, it's not a new idea for KTM

These companies should make them again and with care. Look at the endurocross races... a 2 stroke wins almost every time. Nice and light with instant power for hopping over stuff. Thanks Taddy Blazusiak! Go KTM for still producing.

Thanks Graham. I didn't know that. I was too young to pay attention in 98
