Dungey on a 125

[dsrtrider48]

With most of the competition out in the 450's dungey will wrap up championship before the last race so KTM should let him ride a 250 2t in the last one or two events.  KTM sells these bikes and i think dungy would still win or get a top place(with normal national setup, suspension mods).  You would think KTM marketing dept would have a field day with this and they are suppose to sell as many bikes (whatever the type).  I dont see why they wouldnt want to.  Even if dungey didnt win he would still show its competitve and if he did win it certainly wouldnt hurt sales.  KTM is a business and i think it would be smart move.  Just promoting the race what they sell.

Didnt Bob Hannah ride a virtually stock YZ for some races back in the day to show how good the bike was?

KTM has never bothered filling out the paper work required to race 250 2 strokes in ama pro classes.
They would have to do that first, not sure but it might be too late.

They don;t need to. They only imported 250? 250 2 strokes and they sold the lot without breaking a sweat. THey have dungey edition 450s to pimp.

and if they got their arses kicked it would have a massive impact on sales because then people like us couldnt say... " if only they put ___insert_name___ on a 2T, he would kick arse...
