worth a read…….

Great find, thanks for that. Would be interesting to see where KTM ended up, had they the money to compete with the big boys of the premier class.

Shakey Byrne as the rider…… current BSB rider and i can't remember how many times champion…… i would like to hope that it was a case of all the right ingredients just at the wrong time - would love to have heard it run in person...

250 HP waiting better times

A shame KTM didn't/don't have the funds to get behind the V4 for MotoGP. I'm sure they could come up with a mental engine but if Kawasaki and Suzuki (yeah I know they are coming back) can't afford it, it's no great surprise.

The ill-fated V4, such a sad story ... (filed under "Team Roberts" in the MotoGP obits)
