Ktm 300 thumpertalk Videos

Hahaha i completely feel you dude. the Mx hit is just plain insane sometimes for the woods. The husky te250 man is cheap and the husky motor is incredibly torque. It lugs lower and pulls smoother than a 250f and it has maybe 10 more horsies on the top when you open it up all the way.

08 Ktm 200xcw, but I race jdays, and was thinking of buying either a 2016 250f or a new ktm/husky 250 2 stroke. I really just want a NEW bike, as I've only ever bought used. Honestly, for me the 200 is the PERFECT engine, I've ridden a retardedly nice 2014 250sx and while I was way faster because of the suspension setup, the bike was WAY to powerful for me. It had all the mods of an A/pro level race bike (HC head, HC piston, porting and polishing...) and I physically couldn't ride it on the pipe for more than two laps without being dangerous. It was just way to much hit for me, I only weigh 160. 

I actually rode a 250f once and at the time I didn't like it, cause it wasnt set up well for the woods. It is crazy tho man how far shits improved. I love the way a 2 stroke motor is kinda like a slingshot with barely any engine resistance. It helps me keep my speeds up a Lot.     What do you ride?

hahah you should try a brand new 250f, then you'll really realize how far ALL bikes have come since the xr. Literally any bike wouldve been a MASSIVE step up from your XR.

Thanks for the response man. No offence taken, the xr is a slow piece of shit. I got a 2006 Husqvarna wr250 2 stroke and its so light and fast and amazing suspension. It blows the xr out of the water in every single aspect. Even luggability.    I am officially a 2 stroke lover. The 1 kick starts after a fall is a huuuge benefit. and the screaming top end is so fucking fun. 2 stroke for life lol

+Jacobl Ammons Ok so, I can help you a little, but idk if its too late. I would say NO dont get any KTM older than 2008, they weren't nearly as good (handling, suspension, reliability) back then. If you're coming off an XR, I'd recommend the XC-W over the XC. the XC wont have any lights, stiffer suspension, and slightly different gearing. Also, the power will be WAYYYYYYYY MORE EVERYTHING over your XR. in comparison, your XR is a piece of shit, if you wanna take offense to that go ahead, but you're still riding a slow ass bike. So basically any 2008 or newer (even the older ones) KTM 200 XC-W or EXC will blow your current XR out of existance.

+Jacobl hamond also is the exc the same as the xc or the xcw?

hell yeah bro. thank you for responding. you are a fricken beast at riding. I cant wait to get a 200 :)     is the 05 200 exc a good bike? i found one used asking $2400

+Jacobl hamond I can tell u now that i have no issue with torque etc and im on a 07 200 EXC at 96Kg and 6ft2 it hauls my ass just about anywhere :)

You won't regret it, go get it!

Haha I'm getting one soon! Can't wait can't sleep can't function <Just kidding but I'm hypped!>

Great vid! must have been awesome to ride that!!! Thanks for posting! Aloha from Hawaii!

That almost gave me an anxiety attack just watching!!! Holy crap that looked awesome!!!

that was crazy!! I always wanted to enter in Erzberg.. nice bike by the way

Bloody Awesome Mike You heading back this year???

3:28 - scary as hell!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah! 

A+

thank you for sharing this video i did not see that one but that is damn good balance im only 13 about to be 14 and my goal is to make it to the endurocross SOMEDAY i have a question when u built that enduro track what did you use logs or telephone poles and how often do you tend to the track to keep it nice?

im just telling you,you might have already done this but its not realy about pounding motos yes this is great practice in trusting your bike but going to an unknown track racing and just trying to explode out the gate, unfourtunately with get you hurt but the best practice is to practice balance

Im sorry about your arm... I want to go racing the AMA Endurocross, but I would like to get a rented bike, because I'm from Guatemala and it is very difficult to get the bike. Do you know if there is a company that rent bikes for these races???

@jorge85cc I am really not sure but i know there is a Husaberge KTM dealer in Las Vegas and i bet you could call them and they would know of renting company. I think you should give it a shot man i bet you could hold your own in a race. :)

@jorge85cc Yes i do man!!! I am currently not riding right now because i just broke my arm two weeks ago training for the endurocross season. Hopefully i will be healed up for the last two rounds in Idaho and Las Vegas.

it will stengthin the muscles needed and it will become second nature standing on the pegs and keeping the bike under control

GREAT! It's a thrill ride just watching the video! just rode today with my friends. too bad their all pussies and ride quads

Nice riding! Those tires and logs are harder to get over than you make it look.

tough track, and you ride those big obstacles so easy!? lol great riding man

damn man youre a great rider! i gotta ktm 300 mxc. really awesome track!

Ive been riding a while but if i tried that i think i would hurt myself

how did yoiu steer that bike so smoothly on 1:28 on the right corner?

If anyone needs me I'll be on the ground by the quadruple logs. 

hey, just wondering, but how do you get so good at jumping logs?

You need a big ass long around the first corner

nice track!! do you race in AMA endurocross??

Smooth riding Rich, track's looking good too.

I have never heard a 2 stroke rev this deep

nice riding, wish i was that good lol

+Endurbro Rider  Yes it did get much quieter after the rebuild and no side to side movement.

I might come up for sunday... Saturday morning is turkey season. Right now i have my YFZ450 torn down bare, adjusting the valves, got a new exhaust and jetting it. Along with the trailer work i did this past weekend, hopefully ill be ready to go.

+Brandon Morrison Retired Teacher. Thanks for the compliment. I will be at Trevorton this weekend 5/1,2,3.

OK :)

+Bob Swagger Well we'll just call them cheaters then :D

+LEGENDARY TRIKER Plenty of easier hills to try. You will enjoy your stay.

+King Trevorton I will see what I can do come spring. I would love to come down there, I remember you guys are in PA , that is where I came to buy my 350x, I was in PA about 100 miles from New York City, I know there is a lot of Trikes around that area, I can't belieave someone down there don't ride a trike, anyway I'm riled up I would love to hit that hill, we will talk again.

+LEGENDARY TRIKER  Trevorton, Pa. Yes, I am serious. You will enjoy the area. I will even buy you lunch. 

+King Trevorton are you being serious, you really will pay me 500 if I make the hill. Are you rich or just have money to give away, because by the way you said it You make it sound like I'm not going to make the hill. Look if quads have made that hill the same spot the motorcycle did then I know for 100% shure I can climb it on a three wheeler. Holy shit there aren't NO guys around there that have trikes that can go climb it for you. I have to think about this, where exactly is this hill, what state what city, I'm going to Google it and see how far away you are.

+LEGENDARY TRIKER I will make it worth your time. You make the hill I will give you FIVE CRISP $100 Bills. That should pay for your gas LOL.

+King Trevorton Hey I would love to, but I don't think it will ever happen, I'm in Michigan. I just saw people saying quads have climbed the same hill and that if a quad can climb it then for shure I can, I have rode three wheelers for over 30 years and have climbed several hills that's guy's on newer quads can't or won't try. Like I said it don't look easy but if a quad can then my trike can.

Let me know when you want to give it a try. I will be your tour guide.

+tim allport it was a Clarke tank, bought it from usa

I own an '11 yz250. Played with timing which helped alot (retarded it) but found just 25% VP110 made it run sooo much smoother. ....i still only have under 30 light hours on the bike but cannot wait to get Eric's 300 kit in 2 more years. 2 strokes are just too reliable to pull apart until at least 100 hrs.

I was definitely not disappointed. I've read that bone stock YZ300s break the 50hp mark, which might not blow you away, but I'm really impressed with the bottom end and midrange, plus the transition is so smooth.

What do you mean played with the timing how did you do it ?

Is there a lot of noticeable power gain?
