l WISH THAT KTM WOULD BUILD A TRIALS BIKE, WHAT DO YOU THINK. ( ITS ABOUT TIME.)

KTM's making too much money on 2010 50cc,65cc and so forth models for little johnny's. ;D

There ktm 50sx is a goer I have ridden one it was funny to watch I looked pretty silly with legs beside the handle bars but they are easy to mono they are quite loud not the best first bike I wouldnt have thought.
I dont know you could ring KTM and yell at them and say make a trails bike I dont know if that would work though I would like 2 strokes to come back into power. :)

There were rumours they had a hand in the design of the beta 4 stroke trials bike, the 2 companies have a long history of working together. KTM supply engines for Beta's enduro bikes & I've been told that the small KTMs(50 & 65 + maybe 85) are actually built by Beta to allow KTM to concentrate on producing the bigger bikes

True and the results reflect that in Dakar and http://pdf.finkedesertrace.com.au/pdf/BikeCompetitorByMake.pdf

KTM built trials bikes in the 1970s. Not very good ones mind but they had a go and even sold them in the US
