Their bikes are faster, lighter and just plain tricker than the motocrossers you can buy off the showroom floor. There’s some truth there. But that’s changing.

For 2011, the best tool for the job is once again a green one – Kawasaki’s reworked and revised KX™450F.

The current motorsport season is well underway and the KTM factory riders have already claimed a slew of podiums on the latest "Made in Austria" Offroaders. Now the sports brand from Austria presents the line-up of brand new motorcycles for the Model Year 2011.

As one of the first 2011 models the new 450 Husqvarna has been seen on hte track. At Malpensa in Italy some tests were done with an almost final version of the motocross bike. Factory rider Alex Salvini did some laps on the all new bike.

For KTM and its factory team riders Marvin Musquin and Max Nagl the 2009 season could have hardly been better.
Whereas Musquin was able to win the MX2 World championship title on his KTM 250 SX-F, Max Nagl on his KTM 450 SX-F finished as Vice World Champion in the big MX1 class. Now the brand is passing these numerous victories and successes onto its MX fan community via the exclusive Musquin and Nagl Replicas.

KTM is presenting a near series-ready, four-stroke motocross race motorcycle with 350 cm³ at the EICMA 2009 in Milan. With this move, the sports motorcycle specialists from Mattighofen, Austria define a completely new path in Motocross.

At the final round of the German ADAC-MX-Masters at Höchstädt KTM factory rider Rui Goncalves showed off a very interesting new KTM - and raced it to a second overall position! While the 2010 bikes are already in production it seems that KTM will shake off the traditional linkless PSD rear suspension for a linkage version for the 2010 factory team and the 2011 production bikes.

Every motocross rider wants a machine with exquisite handling - it lets you zip through corners, get on the gas sooner on the other side, and makes the bike less tiring to ride. So for 2010 the YZ450F has been completely re-designed with one goal in mind – handling better than anything else on the track.
Yamaha has always understood that races are won and lost through the corners, and that only supreme handling allows a bike to effortlessly fly through the turns. The 2010 YZ450F has a unique, fuel injection, rearward-slanting engine in a revolutionary Bilateral Beam aluminium frame. Every element of these has been designed to ensure a synergy between engine and chassis that makes the bike corner better than ever before.

As there are lots of rumors about the new 450 Yamaha first comes the 250. And the bike offers many news - Frame, plastics and an overworked engine make an almost new bike.

Boasting an all-new, more powerful, more compact engine with Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) combined with an all-new Twin Spar Aluminum Frame featuring the Honda Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD), the 2010 CRF250R continues Honda’s long-standing position of class dominance. This latest CRF250R sets a higher benchmark for impressive power and class-leading handling all rolled into one competition-ready package.
