Question KTM 2-Wheel drive

I looked at a part of a magazine but i cant remember it,but it talked about Ktm's new dirtbike. I was wonder when they will start making them, and whats the name of its model?I think a 2 wheel drive bike is awesome, and im thinking of buying my dad one for his bday. I dont want any yamaha, or honda stuff i just want the strait poop on this New KTM. This two wheel drive is exactly what im looking for since some parts of our trails are too steep for the dirtbikes that tried already.Some ***** decided he didnt like the noise i made on my property and dumped alot of gravel down a hill about 20 feet high and 60-70 degrees steep.And underneith that is loose dirt..So all you hardcore dirtbikes help this poor atver out by informing me on this info.

ps. anyone got an idea how much this will cost? i got about 5 grand to spend.

Yes, they are developing and testing it. As far as I know it's not yet available to buy. And you can bet it's gonna be more than 5K.

I have seen pictures of the KTM model and didnt like it as much as the Yamaha one. They both should be pretty neat though.

I saw one that a not-very-well-known brand made in dirtbike mag a few years ago and it never made it. The design didnt work nearly as good as expected.

It wouldn't. You are still getting drive from the back.

you now how you do stoppies with brakes, now you use the power just like a wheelie!!! yea i read about this a while ago too. the reviews said it is very possible to see this 2 wheel drive because it imagine when you lose traction now, you wont with this cause the front wheel will if the back doesnt!
