A KTM is atop the 125 championship at the present moment over the manufacturers who have been on the GP scene for years. Could the same thing happen on the MotoGP stage if KTM/Team KR get a sponsor and the funds to snag two decent riders? Or are they too far behind the Hondas and Yamahas of the pits development wise and too short on funds?

I'm sure on BBC they said that the team was thinking about packing up at motoGP & moving to WSB? Didnt they run out of parts too....thats why they wasnt at China!!??

Did anyone see that prototype KTM 600 road bike in MCN a while ago? How sweet was that!! I will try & find a picture.

Yeah the reason they weren't at China is because they've run out of engines but from what I've heard they were expecting that to happen before the season started. I'm fairly certain they will be at Le Mans for this weekend. And yes I saw that bike some time ago, I believe it uses the same 990cc powerplant that they developed for the initial Team KR test. Ben, you say it is a 600 so perhaps they have two prototypes coming out. They look great.
