Has anyone here burned laps on a KTM 150SX back to back with a 250F and run comparable lap times on an outdoor track?? At 200lbs these things must be a blast to ride. I imagine the KTM motor runs pretty strong? Only thing that appears to be missing is a linkage...who's got one?

im not sure if you lot in america were affected by the handle bar clamp issue,but ring up your dealer and ask.
mine split clean in half as you can see.
They said it feels like someone put a 250 2 smoke motor into a bike that rides, feels and handles like a 125.
you can still buy 2011 ktm 4 strokes, but the 2011 150s and 2502ts are gone.
2 strokes teach corner speed, 4 strokes make you lazy.
wont work though,seems like every new 2 stroke at the track these days are ktms.
they should stick to making those amazing 4 strokes

I got my girlfreind into dirtbikes now and when im riding my 350 sx-f, she's going to ride the 150 sx
KTM obviously got that.
Seriously, how many of us fat weekends warriors would really know the difference between a 04 KTM SX125 with a big bore kit compared to a 2012 KTM SX150? Really? What we do know though is they differ in design...
I bough a crappy CR125 from 1991, had leaking seals, toasted cylinder with no compression, 18 inch rear wheel that was anything than straight and I felt the bike was excellent, maybe a bit different but as rideable as my 2002 CR125.
Put the 2010 YZF plastic on the YZ125/YZ250, re-chim the sucker, change some stupid stuff just to have something to print as in changes and you will have improved sales I promise. How many people can say the 2011 SS is better than the 2006 SS fork, and when you read the ad they make improvements like no other...
Or maybe just me...
So if you are a japanese corp guy working at Honda or whatever. Seriously you stupid? And you can send me a check later on!
You probably have more knowledge here than me, but except the rod, isn't blown two stroke engine something one could prevent by diff jetting, oil mixture etc?
I had a brand new 1978 YZ80 that Yamaha replaced the frame on because it crack and split in 13 places. The raplacement frame, with the gusset kit installed did the same. Damn POS Yamaha's, no one should ever buy one again.
