Remember KTM motocross bikes back in 2004? They looked different from the “Big Four” Japanese brands, and not in a good way. They were, and still are, considered different, but the tables have turned over the last 16 years. When you saw a KTM at the track in 2004, you were probably intrigued by the orange steed, but also felt sorry for the poor lad who paid a premium for a bike that was subpar to the green, yellow, red and blue bikes. The mid-2000 KTMs had issues. They handled like a wheelbarrow, were not reliable and didn’t have a very large dealer network. What they did have in spades was uniqueness. They had a cult following in off-road racing and were praised for their powerful two-stroke engines. The bike was nothing but fun. The power was strong and surprisingly broad. The suspension was ultra-plush, and the controversial, no-link, PDS rear suspension worked great. Every test rider left the track that day with an appreciation for a mini-cycle that was genuinely underrated in its time. Only Zach Osborne was smart enough to recognize how good it really was.

You have already seen the complete tested video on this bike but we wanted our loyal viewers to get a chance to see it in the RAW form. No talking, no descriptions, just raw two stroke sound at Glen Helen Raceway with the MXA wrecking crew behind the handlebars.
