L’auteur fait tout ce qu’il peut pour essayer de voir un 500 moderne à nouveau sur les étagères, la dernière modif en Mai est sans doute dessous…
The truth is that if KTM built this bike, with a KTM 500cc engine in place of the Kawasaki powerplant, it would sell. But since we tested it, almost four years have past—and there have been no big-bore two-strokes coming down the assembly lines in Austria or Japan. That’s a shame because it’s a fun bike to ride, a blast to climb hills on and a guaranteed holeshot at any track in America. And, since it is as close to a production 500cc as anyone has ever come, it doesn’t have any compromises. It lives up to the motocrosser’s dream; it is light, narrow, compact and powerful. Oh yeah, by engine-swap standards, it was also easy to do.
