[QUOTE="luvtolean, post: 480324, member: 35524"] As an "outsider", I think the mags are portraying KTM's pretty well. They always rave about the motor, and the detailing of the bikes. But they don't like the "feel". That's subjective, but it is important. Racers can be conservative people. Why would they want to change to the KTM feel, when the Japanese feel has worked out so well for them their whole life? Friends of mine who MX all say KTM does have poor stock suspension set-up, so that seems to be true. For me one of the most important factors for buying a bike is the local dealer. This came from owning an RM 125, in a town with a horrible Suzuki dealer. I will never do that again. I'm going to modify the suspension and everything anyway, so that's not too important to me. But if the prick at the parts counter refuses to order me a linkage bolt because it's too hard to get a microfiche out (it's a dated example, I know) what good does having the best bike do me? My friends all work at a Honda dealer, that's the main reason I own a CR250. It also means we can swap spares if a part breaks. [/QUOTE]
