Did they find out what caused this?
Where is the rider in the photo?

My guess is the rider and the photographer is one and the same. If this was a loaner, he was probably giggling and laughing. He probably couldn't wait to get home and post it on KTM talk! Just kidding, my heart goes out to the owner who has to sort that aftermath out.
Well it looks real to me, Take a close look between the spokes of the rear wheel, there are even flames down there, the smoke haze is real as well, i don't think it takes a whole lot of breeze to blow a flame like that sideways a bit...
Hey if that owner comes over here, why don't you part it out? Send me your rocker cover.
Hmm ok just kidding, making fun of somebody else's sad situation to try and forget about my own.
Agreed with Json: I can't believe nobody that nobody was doing whatever possible to extinguish that fire. At that point, the bike is still salvageable (although that would cost).

I once saw a 2 stroke go up in flames. He filled it up near the smoldering ashes of a fire from the night before. Some petrol spilled on to the ground. A small flame started on that spil and it acted like a wick and jumped to the bike. Wasn't long before bike was destroyed and it ended up being close to a gas cylinder. Well they put the bike on trailer with a tarp and went home from camp early.

Maybe this photo should be sent to Husaberg and labeled "The effects of an exhaust pipe being too close to the carburetor". No, really, seeing this photo is like reading the obituaries. I realize the finality of it all, and am thankful it was not me. I had to run out to the garage and touch my Berg to be sure it was still OK.
the photos are on www.foto-x.co.uk
and some good pics of the western beach race
