Taddy and the two-stroke....
« on: July 20, 2010, 08:29:02 AM »
You know, not to post anything negative, but why is it I had to dig to find out if Taddy was racing a two-stroke?

Even the official Press Release did not contain any photos of the race or Taddy!!

Why is this?

The amazing part is how many two-strokes actually compete in Enduro Cross. Just watch the video on the main site.

Taddy finished 1st on the KTM 2-stroke.

Is that a picture of him to the right of the release from the event in Las Vegas? (Shows him clearly on a 2 stroke).

Funny thing is I too starting digging to see what he won it on after seeing it on TSM (I kind of figured he did seeing as it was posted on here but still haha). You're right about no one really touting the bike he was on (KTM mentioned nothing of it). If it had been a 4 stroke I am sure they'd having been bragging it up about how super awesome the technology was that got him the win.

SubTexel - I did see that photo but thought that it was from last year!!



I find it amazing that you have to DIG to find out that a two-stroke won a race!! LOL

You guys are correct if it had been the 350 or other four-stroke lawn dart... they would have been touting all it's virtues...

"Yes ladies and gentleman the new four-strokes are superior to any machine ever built. With only double the displacement they can be competitive. Plus when your finished racing you can use the leftover parts for paperweights. Fill your Christmas list early with decorative paperweights.!"  :P :P

Haha I'm not sure if it was from last year or not, but it's a two stroke at least! :D

You'd think they'd be all over how their 2 stroke dominated so easily. What were the other KTM riders on? Might be the reason they didn't brag about the 2 stroke.

Mike Brown was on a KTM four-stroke and finished 4th....

Maybe KTM has lot's of four-strokes in their warehouses too??

lol ouch, that'd explain why they weren't touting their 2 strokes considering their top tier 4 stroke(s?) didn't do so well.

I know 99% of the bikes on the floor of Chaparral Motorsports that are KTMs are 4 strokes... Some as old as 2008 (quite a few) and they aren't moving... Same with the other 4 strokes.

The couple 250SXs they got in sold the minute they hit the floor (I bought one of them lol) and the 300s etc... sold pretty damn quickly, I think a couple 2 strokes are still there but not many.

WTF is going on at ktm. ???
I was going to post this up separatly but this thread is going the same way.
The video below was on the national news last night.
Chris Birch rides a KTM 300.
The video starts with him on a new 450 ?
And G money the dubbing has started already. :(
Now i dont know who put the video together. Wheather its a bit of ktm/red bull promo or the journalists have got lazy.
But why have ktm got their rider on a bike he DOES NOT RIDE. ???
Smells fishy to me. Or am i just being paranoid.

I watched the video of Chris Birch TMKiwi and the one major thing I noticed was Chris was sometimes riding his 300xc two stroke & also a 4-stroke occasionally,but in the last part of the video Chris was clearly on his 2-stroke but it sure sounded like a 4-stroke engine to me!

I am pretty sure that it was different guys on the 450's in the race fotage.
Have not heard about him being on a 4s before.
The thing is, have ktm asked him to change ? or if not why supply the guy with a 4s for a interveiw ?.
KTM are sure not advertising that Taddy & Chris are winning on 2 Strokes are they. ???

If you see a two-stroke and hear a four-stroke, chances are there's no dubbing going on, but there's just some guy riding a CRF about 80 miles away and that's drowning out everything else.

Speaking of dubbing, remember the good old days when they did it the other way around?

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?
