I put an orange rear fender on my "11" 150sx less than a week after I bought it, last June.

I'm not sure if that 150sx is really comparable to that bike, if you know what I mean...

Yea, the 150 is a motocross bike and that is a P.O.S. four-stroke!

doesnt it seem wierd how when a motorcycle company trys something new like an alluminum frame and it works out well eventually all others follow, is KTM saying NO we are not changing just out of spite? Look how long it took them to put a linkage on the rear.

I sure hope Dungey does what no one else has been able to do on KTM. Win some SX races.

KTM is still making "steel" frames because it works. The japanese mfg's did not go to alum. frames because it was a "new tech" idea. They did it because there (and still is) a steel shortage and their alternative was alum. They had to do alot of work (1st years of honda alum frames sucked) to make it perform and then other japanese mfg's followed with what was learned because it was "marketable to the buying public" Still takes 3 times the amount of alum to make a frame than steel. They all work.................personal preferance. Rooster

Steele. . For sure has it's advantages, . . . Flex. . . After riding a lot of bikes back to back. . It's all about making a lot of components work in harmony. . Ktm seems to think this is the best combination. I have to agree. .

Look how long it took them to put a linkage on the rear. The frame isn't just mild steel it's chrom-moly tubing (an alloy of different components) , high strength, lite weight and can be made to flex specs of the customer so it flexes in some places yet more ridged in others.
