Well ok, in the end KTM thougt they would not make it across Russia, and probalby because of that guy that visited them. He took such a journey already and thougt is would be impossible.
For KTM it's too bad they made it on the Beemers. Anyway, Problems with Big-ends on the motorcross bikes are very regular with KTM's.

@Gias1 Okay.
KTM wins the dakar since 10 years, because they are better than other teams in taking bikes apart at the end of the day. They just have better take-apart-engineers.The bikes are not good at all. Yes. Got it.

They are good in dakar because they can take the bikes apart at the end of each day
you can't take a dakar bike around the world without all that service. Don't need the mention that big-end bearings on KTM fail very often.

@Gias1 Yes.... you are right....And that's why KTM is dominating the rallye Paris-Dakar since the last ten years. Because they suck in long distance offroad rides....:-) KTM is the best you can get for that purpose. KTM did not want the actor pussies ride their bike I.M.O. But you cannot tell that the pussies.

@kryss1000 bhaahah.
KTM's were not durable after all. KTM's would never have made it over the road of bones.
KTM was right, they would have failed when using the KTM's. the Beemers are much stronger than those retarded orange plastic bikes from Austria.

@kryss1000 OUCH, my feelings....
-
@foook111 Yes, you got it now. They are shitting on KTM because they did not want to give 2 spoiled actors a bike for a girly movie. Yes, I dont like them and don't want see them ride BMWs.
And finally of course: You retarded asshole are the fucking idiot.
-
Why can't these f****** millionaires buy the bikes themselves? If I had had to take the decision, I wouldn't have given them a KTM bike, either. I bet they also asked BP for free gas. FU
-
@kryss1000 So you wanted them to use a British bike instead of your own BMW, because you simply don't like them? Your a fucking idiot.
The simply truth was KTM feared their Bikes would not get around or finish the Adventure. In otherwords if you are planing a Biking Adventure dont buy KTM's, go for the better rock solid BMW R 1200 GS Adventure.

KTM is an Austrian company, not Australian. I agree that they made a big mistake not sponsoring these guys though.
