Nothing is going to bring Honda, Kawasaki or Suzuki two-strokes back to life. Face it, they are dead! We’ve wasted 15 years bemoaning their disappearance—appreciate what we have
The 2022 Suzuki RM-Z450 is not the best bike on the race track, but it offers a ridable, raceable and enjoyable bike for someone who wants to get in on the motocross experience without having to file for bankruptcy. As it sits, it is still the best bargain in dirt bikes
It was a by-the-book Supercross season—starting in Anaheim and ending in Salt Lake City 17 races later. But everything in between was full of excitement ,controversy and by the end there were only six factory riders left in the 450 class
Before the 2023 AMA Supercross season kicks off, let’s take a moment to see everything that happened one year ago under the “Big A:” Lots of action, surprises and crashes

Corporate marketing among the three Austrian brands demands a more responsive KTM, broader Husqvarna and mellower GasGas. How did they do it? More air for the KTM, less air for the Husky and no air for the GasGas
How David O’Connor built the ultimate race bike from a salvaged 2019 frame, borrowed suspension and an Irish passport
KTM first introduced the Freeride in 2012 but never made any serious attempts to sell it in the USA, but with new electric bikes showing up every week, KTM wanted to show that they had been the voltage business for 11 years.
The king of high-rpm 250 four-stroke horsepower throw its old engine away and builds a totally new engine and puts it into a super exotic chromoly steel frame

Overall, even with a stronger midrange, the FC250 engine is still a high-rpm screamer

We promise that you’ve never seen a race like this in your life. The landscape and uninhabited town are left over from when Iraq captured it during the 1991 Gulf War
The ’99 CR125 powerband is on the short side. This would not be a crime if it weren’t for the YZ125’s broadness. As is, the KTM 125 is a better example of what the Honda should have been
