Stirring the pot

Now where are those KTM riders who made fun of Billy Burns swingarm?

I guess there have been some recent frame failures in Europe for KTM.

Guess they don't make them like thay used to. What a shame.

I'm going to make an educated guess,, that must have hurt!

Thats happened more than once, I saw another pic of a 250F pumpkin snapped in half.

Too bad that Yamaha #932 between the split KTM wasn't a Gasser!

I saw another pic awhile ago where the frame broke in a different spot, around the hole in the backbone farther back where the coolant hose passes through. The first pic here looks like both frame tubes broke, and the second looks like the steering head tube broke in half. Thats three different failures.

There's always photoshop LOL

Just goes to show that you can take making these bikes lighter too far.

I wonder if we'll see a Christini AWD frame failure.

I wonder if we'll see a Christini AWD frame failure.

Doubtful since the christini bikes rarely see rough high speed riding. I got to talk quite a bit with the Christini guys at the Romaniacs - very cool bike and the guys are first class, including Geoff Aaron. And a great thing is we may see a Christini GasGas in the future as Geoff is back on a GasGas trials bike...


Personally, I'd buy a Christini GasGas in a heartbeat. The AWD is AWESOME in the tough stuff.
