Went over to my buddies Shawn Clark, he races dirtbikes. He had some video footage of a KTM 400 or 500 2stroke dirt bike. I mean this thing was just unreal!!! It was hauling @ss in 3rd gear. Has anyone else ever heard or seen pics of this beast!! Just think of that engine in a quad. Can you say later to Tim Farr!!!! But really has anyone else ever heard of this thing????

KTM makes a sx & exc 380 2-stroke. KTM's 380 2-sroke puts out more low end torque than their 520 4-stroke if that tells you anything.

My neighbor has a KTM520SX, that thing is a real mans bike, if the 380 puts out more torque, thats just nuts! I have a question though, doesn't The Kangaroo Kid have a KTM5?? powered two-stroke 250R?

I've toyed with the thought of putting the KTM 380 into a lonestar chasis, but your talking mega bucks$$$.

Yes it would. If you knew of any hillclimber looking for a chassis to put a big azz streetbike motor in(I've seen a couple), than it might be a little less expensive, but still some mega bucks.

I've got the KTM RXC 620 and this bike is sick!!! Wheelie in every gear as fast as you desire. KTM motors definately kick A$z. 6400 miles and not one hickup.
