See! Exactly mate, you just proved my point; prolly you really know nothing apart from your big Yankie ego 
OOOPS!! Did I offend everybody, sorry
Whilst all the while you thought that I'm an Aussie national, when in fact I just work here as a senior consulting engineer, I just so admire them when it comes to the estuarine-type of crocs (saltwater crocs) for knowing how to handle them more than Yanks would ever know. These reptiles are the most unfriendly animals in the world, worse than the great whites. They are also the only ones categorised as apex predators, co-equal with the killer whales. Your US alligators are nothing compared to these.... But like you said mate, you don't care at all, isn't it? Ah, never mind mate, you knew nothing at all I guess anyway, apart from your own world revolving around the United States
Foster is a nice beer. Would take it anytime than the Yankie Budweiser mate....
YUP, no worries, sure we can have some backyard grill mate, with rough beef (healthier and leaner than your US beef, which is in fact the one that you guys are importing from Oz as commercial beef patties) and some lamb chops (you just tell me which you prefer, the Kiwi or Oz lamb) and some nice Foster for me and a Bud for you just lemme know mate.... Anytime you're most welcome.

You know that they say about arguing on the internet... "even if you win, you look stupid" So please don't fall into the trap.
btw... its not Yankie, its YANKEE. If you are gonna say it, then say it right!
But then again, I think its been a couple hundred years since anyone's really used that term.
Thanks for educating us all on the saltwater crocs. But you forgot to mention if we can make shoes or belts for ladies purses out of them.

Wow this is one messed up dude who hates all things American, even down to alligators. We get it, Austraila is the center of the enlightened universe. They have the coolest but meanest reptiles, understand that only Japanese bikes have any relevance and guarantee everything that they say to be true, GUARANTEED! We get it, relax.....

By the way, going back to my lingo, which you're avoiding to answer.... So now my question for you over again MEYERMETAL, which I shall keep on reiterating mate:
How many more new KTM's you guys have to make an excuse with each time your bike doesn't win any title year-after-year?

As dumb as this whole thread is, you two are taking it to an even lower level. Can we get back on to the topic of why we want to blame a bike for the actions of it's rider when he gets behind and rides over his head?

^^^This.
I see James is only 2 sec/lap faster again this week... I'm sure it had nothing to do with that bike at all...... Davi out with a crash this week, sound familiar?

Best thing James ever did was jump on a different bike
I stopped by my local stealer today to pick up some stuff. They sell all the jap brands their and had every 450 on the floor but the Yami. Does that mean that they sell like hot cakes or that they didn't bring many in?
Posted 26 May 2012 - 12:16 PM
As I said before, I've never really gotten along with Yamaha handling, but that's me.
It wasn't all that long ago when Japanese products were considered junk here in the states...
A quote from the film On Any Sunday: "Yah-mah-ha?... That'll be the last time we see one of them on these shores!"

Yamaha has made a lot of great bikes. It's possible their new backwards YZ450 isn't one of them. Minor changes can make a big difference for the top riders. RV certainly seemed to improve on the 2012 KX450 over the 2011 KX450.

Before Stewie, Suzuki had a great sales event going. 0% financing for 5 yrs. Most dealers could not keep up with the demand. Incentives are selling more bikes nowadays then which rider and brand is winning..

True mate, now I hope you can take your own medicine by the following
BUT, by 1968 the Ya-mah-ha DT250 was the best-selling offroad bike til early 70's in the United States.... It was the Ya-mah-ha DT250 that attracted millions of Yanks to appreciate offroad biking a great deal, perhaps even astronomically....
Also true, by mid-70's through this day, everyone in the world wanted to have their own Japanese cars and Japanese bikes ---- because of the major Japanese passenger car manufacturers (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Suzuki, Subaru, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Daihatsu), the US automobile dominance stopped. And as crappy and square-edge the US cars can get back then, and as worst guzzlers they were in the 70's, and perhaps even now, no one outside of the US wants to buy them haha!
....not stopping there yet, because of the Japanese bike industry (Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki) it render the US offroad bike manufacturing industry extinct even before it can start, well except for ATK perhaps, where basically it's even a neverheard. Harley Davidson is more known for big bikes with badass attitude that has established some loyal followings the world over.

But the fact that you are probably using a PC/laptop or smartphone linked on the internet with hardware & software most likely of US 70s origin and still largely dominated by mostly US companies/patents makes this even more incredibly funny. The 70s are over and all the socialism in the world is not going to make any post-industrial economy competitive in the ways of the past --even Japan.....

I would agree but it does effect sales over time".. If you have a brand that wins for years at a time..(kx250f) the sales do go up over time.. Not a win on sat sale on monday... More like win 2 or 3 years in a row and its been proven the bike is solid..sales go up. Every brand has had thier turn but ktm.. I bet sales go up when dungey finnishes in second in the outdoors. Even a second place shows the bike is there and will sale it. Ya know
I think KTM sales are on the rise aren't they? they were on the upswing before dungey.
They've gotten some amazing reviews from the rags and they finally put a linkage on the rear . It helped the perception of their product. (btw... the KTM linkage-less rear is like the Yamaha reverse engine. Unique things that get a bad rap by people who aren't used to them)
that being said, I find myself curiously interested in the suzuki. Then I checked the longevity of the valve train in the Suzuki forums... I'll stick to either blue or orange....
