He is at least 30% faster Menace, I was very impressed with his ridingg on the last Murphsberg, even more so when he kept going long after I had given up and gone home with my tail between my legs

Funny you should all mention this. I too was impressed with the speed shown by young Polly. On this ride I asked him how long he had been riding for he said he had been on more rides than I had had hot dinners! Not really but you get the point :laugh: Yes he is very smooth and I have yet to see him make a mistake. His new grill does slow him down as the tooth menace :blink: broke for him on “The Steps” worked a bit like a cold air intake :laugh:

Yes I agree TB but I just cannot seem to go past how these two photos and rider ability look so similar. They could be the same person!

I had a ride on the Yamaha 2WD when they can out here in 04/05 Aaron and you would amazed how easy you can ride up hills and how fast you corner on them. Takes a bit to adapt to the front driving. It’s a bit like an AWD car on the dirt.

is that a KTM 2WD, 2 stroke bike. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

it sure looks like one!

who, where, when, how much and who do i have to kill, cook and eat, to get one :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

oops, i need a new keyboard, this one is ‘water’ damaged

[dennis da menaceMember]

and come to think of it….

if Polly is 30% faster now…

that makes him 20% faster than Snowy :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

the big fella had his go fast helmet happening on sunday and polly just rounded him up all day :laugh:

that 2wd bike would be a blast. I think the front wheel is run by hydrolic fluid,,,could be wrong????

I think they will do it for around $8K using your bike.

I looked at a 2wd WR450 in 2005 was at Sam Laws Motorcycles, 24k tell you I gave it some serious thought even thought of selling my road bike to buy it. Too much coin in the end but, never rode one lucky you Mal. Saw them at the Condo 750 when the Yamaha team were there in 2004 or 05 can’t remember. Rode with one there it it drove out of corners like nothing else

Yeah the WRs were, only limited percentage to the front I think around 25 to 35% from memory

[Scott SouthwellMember]

I’ve always wondered why the likes of KTM and Yamaha don’t run 2WD at Dakar. Surely the extra drive would be awesome getting heavy safari bikes over the dunes.

KTM are working on two new 2WD systems, one hydraulic and the other a hybrid with electric motors in each wheel.
