Andrew please be an April fools joke! It might be a factory KTM but its still not a Honda! Any Honda is better then KTM! IMO! We will see when the checkered flag waves!

GOOD LUCK SHORTY!

@daley04 No.
Bryner still part of the team. Looks like he will began riding next week in preparation for the nationals. Shorty will stay with byrner mechanic during indoors. For outdoors he might need a new wrench.

yeah the results will speak volumes as to weather a "factory" KTM is better than a "near stock" honda, or will it show that the bike doesnt matter that much ?

Go Shorty! Best of wishes and luck to you!

As for "Factory" KTM, is BTOSports supplied bikes or parts from the factory team or is it just a mod'ed out Dungey Factor Edition bike?

Short is a positive person with a good attitude and strong work ethic.

He has proven that he is a rider capable of finishing 5th through 10th.

I will be amazed if the KTM makes any difference in his results.

I hope Shorty isn't going to be the test dummy for the airshock. The concept will come around but don't risk his career during the races until it is proven.

I don't think the bike will make a difference. He'll still be a solid 5-10 guy. I don't see a podium coming unless a couple of the front runners take each other out. I'm glad to see he'll be getting paid. Shorty is one of the good guys.

They are receiving factory support, but he's on the 2013 not the 2013.5 F.E that dungey is on which was not even supposed to happen
