Interesting and bold move by ktm http://www.motorcycle.com/features/ktm-announces-fuel-injected-two-stroke-engine-for-2018.html
I wouldn't say it's interesting or bold, given the immense popularity of the 2 stroke models. I mean, even I want a 300 EXC. I think it's a long time coming as the public have wanted a developed 2 stroke bike but no manufacturer have ever produced a bike that is beyond a motorcycle you could purchase 15 years ago. Given the reliability of similar technology on snowmobiles and some boat motors, this should be quite exciting. Hopefully this opens up the door for retrofitting the injectors onto older motorcycles.
I think its interesting and bold as it is being released on an enduro bike rather than the full tilt MX bikes, from what I have heard they may even make euro 4 compliance which means there could be road registered ones available in the near future
Interesting given that Ossa had something many years back, I didn't realise Ossa got bought by Gas Gas which subsequently went bankrupt I wonder if we'll ever see a commercial release of an injected two stroke road bike?
Would make sense to have injected T/S road bikes, the technology is about with outboards (meeting euro emissions) so should be easy to apply to bikes.
Awesome! Now watch Honda in the USA try to ban it from competition. KTM have publicly declared that they want to stick it to Honda and if nothing else this will be a bone in their neck. That would be the icing on the cake.
You're really quite enthused by all of this, and damn it so am I - annoyed by Honda's four stroke agenda being imposed everywhere
