My friend Ben put together a video of our thoughts on the 2016 KTM line, don't mind the dork in the red shirt...

Later,

Bike journos - good idea Jake

Its interesting that they say the 125s now have 40 - measured at the drive shaft - I think it said

The old Ktm seemed to be somewhere in the 34 -35 hp range at the wheel so I am wondering where the rear wheel hp is at . 37 - 38 ?

Not that it really matters - hp at the right revs is what you want

How does the motor compare to last years ?

Would you make the switch ?

Its interesting how the 150 is harder to ride fast . Many would think the extra ccs would help - but I know what you mean .

The only 15 I rode was Troffers TE125, it had the SX head and it seemed like more of a revver. Not nearly as smooth as the new engine. That was 9 months ago though, I resreve the right to have remembered wrong.

I would buy one, If prices were not insane.

Later,

Excellent! I would rather listen to reviews like those than the mag stuff any day. Thanks for posting it up and sharing.
