I am not really sure where this fits, however a few of us rode the Desmo450MX bikes last month. I am far from being a Motocross expert, however that proves what I am going to say beyond doubt.... because a near novice shouldn't be able to jump on a 60+bhp MX bike on a very narrow dusty MX track and ride it as confidently as we could. Much as they have done with the recent generation Panigale V4's, this thing can be ridden by a novice yet has the ability to be a complete weapon in the right hands.....
Still getting walloped on the big stage by the usual 3 or 4 manufacturers but hard to deny it’s not a great looking engine and bike (if you’re into mx). Whereabouts was this?
How many years did it take KTM to get back into it after already having such a rich MX history? They smashed the Italian Championship in their first year and it will be interesting to see how far they get with this. It was at Hobbs Hole Lane MX track.
