Season Finale in Spain!

KTM have qualified their first factory MotoGP bike at the low end of the grid which is to be expected, but it is great to have another manufacturer on board, and one that has really good backing.

Although they are already active in the "on road" world for quite some years now, KTM is still a brand I associate with off road. But they indeed make brilliant bikes, so we can expect something for the future :encouragement:.

I'm highly impressed with mine Huub, a rare bike down under, which I like to park in strange company.
She's quite a performer as well, and will end up as a 'classic' IMHO.

I could never understand why the 'Green Meanies' made such a brief showing several years ago.
Aside from the first version looking fugly, Chris Vermulen and Gary McCoy rode the bike well enough to show some potential, while Olivier Jacques(?)did quite well on such a new machine.
I believe there was a 'conflict of interests' between Kawasaki and another manufacturer, according to my brother who was with Yamaha Australia at the time.
Shame that wasn't resolved if true.
They certainly have a decent machine in the World Superbike Series.
