KTM 250 FRR
The KTM 250 FRR was a racing motorcycle made by KTM, which was used in the 250cc class of Grand Prix motorcycle racing from 2005 until 2008.
The bike was created as a 250cc variant to the already existing KTM 125 FRR that KTM participated with in the 125cc. The plans to create this bike also came when the company had plans to participate with a Factory team in the 250cc class in 2005. The bike was equipped with a two-cylinder engine with the arrangement of the front-facing cylinders.
The bike and team debuted relatively late in the year with Australian rider Anthony West.
On its debut, West shocked many when he scored an impressive second place in a wet British grand prix, fighting for the lead after then-leader Hiroshi Aoyama crashed out with fifteen laps to go. However, the results after were lacklustre and West was not able to score any more podiums for the remainder of the season.
Overall, the team scored 30 points, getting a best-place finish of second, and finished third in the constructors championship.
The next season, the team expanded to two riders as West departed as the team brought on Hiroshi Aoyama and Manuel Poggiali.
The team initially scored decent point results, but Aoyama impressed when he won KTM's first 250cc race at only the third round of the season in Turkey, fighting with Alex de Angelis and Héctor Barberá on the flat-out charge to the final chicane on the last lap. He continued to impress by finishing third at the next race in China and repeated the feat in Great Britain.
Aoyama's good form continued on after the summer break. He narrowly snatched second from Andrea Dovizioso at the Czech round and finished third once more in Australia. Aoyama then scored an emotional home victory in Japan, picking up the fastest lap also. In Portugal, Aoyama narrowly missed out on the win, finishing second 0.015 seconds behind Andrea Dovizioso. At the final race in Valencia, Aoyama took the first and last pole of the season on Saturday, but crashed out of the race on Sunday, causing him to end fourth in the drivers championship. Compared to Hiroshi Aoyama, Manuel Poggiali frequently struggled on the bike and failed to score any podiums of victories, instead only scoring a decent haul of points this season.
