By Tom Webb I really needed a dual-sport machine. Yes, we get test bikes, but by the time we get them dialed in to our needs, they get tugged back to the factory because new models are en route. As with anything KTM, the demand is high, and KTM’s sales staff is screaming for sellable units […]

Jealousy is a fantastic motivator. My 2020 KTM 500EXC-F sat in the garage for a year without being ridden. It had a short history: it won our dual-sport shootout; it was purchased; it was ignored. I had plans to ride in Tecate, a Backcountry Discovery Route and perhaps even the Sonora Rally. We have no […]

Husqvarna big-bore two-strokes built specifically for use in Baja are rare. This mid ’80s liquid cooled 430cc machine just might be the rarest machine on the planet and a missing link to what Husqvarna’s Baja effort could have evolved into had the company not abandoned their efforts around that time. On this week’s Two-Stroke Tuesday […]

Round 6 of the 2021 National Grand Prix Championship (NGPC) series took place at Cache Valley MX Park in Preston Idaho and was made very interesting by mother nature providing a little extra water to the situation.
