[QUOTE="James, post: 144089, member: 2"] I think it's a little of both, the racers are more like you in that they will research a bike pretty well before buying it. Bike performance is more important than if a certain pro is riding it. However IMO the strictly recreational people are more the ones that aren't as informed and will buy whatever a certain pro is riding. I do (open rides at the track) and KTM's are hard to find. We [obviously] don't have desert around here and there's not that much trail riding, so motocross (racing or just hitting up private/practice tracks) is the big thing. Which is why I posted those number to show you that in a different discipline KTM is at the bottom (slowly working up), while Honda and Kawi are popular (from what I've seen especially Kawi for the non-racers).
