The counterbalancer on the 2stroke models has potential,shame theyv discontinued the 200 tho

2smoke ktms are finally getting the ignition side counter balancer that gassers had 20 years ago.

Great that KTM is keeping the 2 strokes alive.

I don't like the huge side plates.
They will look like crap when worn in.

Now translate them to AUD, and add a premium for the six days model.. and some more to add the protection required, factor in replacement of the light weight paper thin pipe, the best part of a grand to get the suspension dialled in.. and you're near 20K for a piece of machinery that is intended to be throw around in the bush. Outrageous!

It's not like they aren't selling.....

Someone has to pay for the Husky purchase...

They were always on the expensive side regarding parts, we have a saying here: "You broke a screw on your shiny KTM ? It's going to cost you 100 euros."
