Umm, to each his own I guess.

Didn't Suzuki run yellow frames for awhile when they had purple shrouds and splatter graphics?

Isn't it still just a blue Ktm in disguise?

I won't be changing from gasgas unless a company develops a fuel injection smoker.

YES,, you are 100% correct.. well it does have a different fuel tank, shrouds and graphics.. so like 90% or 95%?
Still looks nice.. should of had the linkage the KTM 350 has,, then it would be something different..

The Blue guys do a lot of suspension work on their bikes well above the stock KTM. They are supposed to use a lot higher quality materials in shock and fork. Not sure if that makes a big difference or not if you send the forks off to get worked on. My KTM sucked in a bucket of sand right before my shoulder surgery, so I have not been able to do a good side by side with the EC300 with Les' work and the KTM with Trailtricks. I still have about 2-3 months before they want me back on the bike. I think that I am going to start riding at 7 months, and to heck with the docs!

Ya really... (Little history here) When Husaberg Motor was formed in 1988 by some Husqvarna engineers that jump ship after the Italian company Cagiva, bought Husqvarna. Husaberg tried it on their own till Ktm purchased them in 1995.
Some good technical innovations were made by them and they're a super bike but I still would not trade my GG for them.
Bombardier has been messing with direct injection for two stroke for over a decade and has it pretty close as seen in some of the snowmobiles and water crafts.
I think it's the only way to go and will be the future for all. We'll just have to see who gets on board first. Ossa has already started it on their Trials bike. But I think it will be Ktm that will start it off big (since they have the biggest R&D budget) and the rest will follow.
Opps... well that went a little off topic...
