I think it's okay to let the sport evolve...even if we end up riding 2ts again the foray into the newer 4ts has been worth it. Things didn't happen fast enough 20 years ago for anyone to really know what they liked/needed...We now live in a time where that is a reality. I'm glad the market is so volatile, it unleashes ingenuity on the part of the companies...they can never lean back in their chairs and think the market has been satisfied. And you don't have to buy what they are selling...that is entirely in your control. 4t, 2t, back to 4t, back to 2t...who cares? Enjoy the ride
WOW KATO goes linkage plus more 2010 MX GP bikes DUI-E designing under the influence of EVERTS!! 2010 FIM MX KTM Factory bikes. All except the 250 are estart only and all are linkage rear suspended. They have a good chance to sweep the 3 GP classes this year with their rider machine combos. Very nice European machines. Our brand has their work cut out for them! http://www.motoverte.com/site/video-la-presentation-des-teams-ktm-mx1-et-mx2-46867.html#images
KTM stuck with the PDS because it didn't want to admit it doesnt work as well as a conventional linkage systems...like Jeremy McGarth was said that it will never win a supercross title with that suspension and he's yet to be proven wrong. On the 2t debate...why is there a debate? 2t's aren't going anywhere until 4t's are as cheap to maintain as a 2t!
Two strokes are what I like and I will always have a few in the shed. Rode a CRF250X last week and I will say that it was a fun ride. Would I shell out my own money on one? No. Not that I have anything against four strokes. I wold love an old TT500 or some such classic. But untill they make a cost effective four that isn't going to cost an arm and a leg to pair I will stick with my old 430XC.
cairoli 350sxf 2-2 in the second round of the italian nat MX series behind Phillapaerts on his yzf450 some mention/rumor that in some of the MXGP sand track (holland for example) races later in the year he may use the 450sxf
