Cool! What are those two little pipes openings on the right side near the shock link?

I thought that earlier but had a closer look: they're a part of the frame, chassis bolt-throughs.

I saw Mika's crash in this weekend's 250GP class... too bad!  Crashed into his teammate who unexpectedly slowed down.
I'd much rather see KTM win a championship than Gilera.

Vesa's KTM looks great!  :thumb:

As for the B-King, the aftermarket pipes really make it look much better!  I was checking one out at the local dealership the other day that had the Two Brothers cans.  NICE!
Here's some pics of it:





Still looks a little fat from the front:



I'd give one serious thought if my knees fit inside the shrouding, but mine ride right on the crease.  I hear they come off easily though and the tank is painted underneath, but I haven't seen how it looks without them yet.

No, I hadn't heard that... the MotoGP website has an article dated today saying Mika is being courted by KTM to stay on a 250 for another year, but so far Mika is undecided.

There's no news on Nicky leaving Honda/Repsol on the MotoGP site or on Nicky's personal site yet either.

I was wrong when I said that in 2 september.
Mika rides "Alice team" but Nick rides ducati team number one.
Congratulations for Nick Hayden.
