Two cylinder 500 KTM in the works?

Let's see if this happens, but if Pierer says so the chances are it will happen. It seems targeting these developing markets (whatever they are - India basically) may not be such a bad thing at the end of the day - we may get some tasty spillovers. The indicated 80hp from 500 seems a bit optimistic and for me the weight will be definitely much more important than power, but still - good to see they are not sleeping.
