Unfortunately, the Japanese factories don't want them anymore, so you won't see the top guys signed to those smoker contracts. I bet Pro Circuit would have a lot of fun if they let 250 smokers race against 250 4-strokes, though.
Ktm has really did a good job at bridging the gap for 2 strokes lot easier to ride but still not as easy as a fourstroke my knee is so blown out i cant even use a kickstarter anymore !
I truly don’t understand why National Caliber Privateer riders that consistently finish in the 15th-40th place don’t just say F-it to the Factory Teams and do their own unofficial Smoker Nationals! Riders need to face reality and realize if you’re a sub Top Ten Finisher you’re never going to get that Factory Ride! In Supercross I understand it’s a 4-Puke World, but for the Nationals grab the Smoker and have fun racing!
They need to let the new 300 race in the 450 class! But they wont cause they scared.
Absolutely agree 👍
True

It's all about the CC why wouldn't they let a 300 race in the 450 class
Hoping to see it.
The ecud rev limiter on a 2 stroke is sick
Sounds insane!
Matt burkeen being a great two stroke influencer 👌 rodbell maybe see you on a two stroke 2023 I’d love it 😜
Gotta spread the word of the two smokes!!
New Zealand here brother...
🤙🏻🤙🏻
Sweet Sounding 55 👊 👍 Thnx Matty 😉
Thanks for watching!!

It definitely felt easy to ride! Almost too easy for my liking lol
They have electric start now on 23 models
Just the sound of that thing revving sounds like a light bike. My thumper feels like a locomotive compared to those smokers.
Definitely sounds badass!
that last clip was fucking tight, rodbell rips
He’s nasty! Loves the two stroke too
@@mattburkeen820 Don't let him take your money!
(Greg’s voice)…. RODDDDDBELLLLLLL!
He’s on fire 😂😂
Your corner speed is, supersonic !
Thank you but this isn’t me! Rodbell shreds
@MattyB keeping the smokers alive.. can't tell me in an Amateur 250A class this isn't the way to go
Oh it’s definitely the way to go! All these money races have been full of two strokes
This bike, or better the 300, in Herlings hands would win the world Championship hands down 🤣👍
I think herlings could do it on a tricycle 😂
Sounds crisp. I thought they would come a little too rich from factory to be on safe side.
Thing definitely sounds sick!
Sounds more meatier on loamy type tracks. Other vids it sounded lean. Sounds like there EFI 2 stroke still has a hit in the midrange.
I rode it and thought my YZ was a lot faster, but it’s got work done to it
@@mattburkeen820Then the EFI is actually leaner and not letting the motor get the HP the motor is capable of?
@@georgecarmel6114 I honestly have no idea how that all works, I just now mine rips 😂 sorry!
@@mattburkeen820 glad you enjoy it!
TBI 2 Strokes ftw 🤟. I really want the 2023 KTM 300 XC.
I hope any racing sanctions adopt this bike in their premier classes
I’m not sure if it’ll be allowed but would be sweet if so!
What are you running next year Matty? "23 YZ 250?
I’m actually not sure yet! Getting rid of the 450 and back to full time two smoking asap
He let ya rip it?
Waiting for you to ride one of these also and get some feedback...
I rode a couple laps, not enough to really be able to tell much. It’s definitely a lot
Different than my Yamaha!
Do you ride it yet?
I rode a Couple laps, it’s a lot different than my Yamaha!
two stroke KTM 👍👍👍👍
🤙🏻🤙🏻
Un mostro 😁
Si!
Yes someone should come out with there own 2 stroke national and electric national. AMA would not know what to do??? MOUTH OPEN WIDE
Would be fun!!

I have a feeling you’re going to see more 2 strokes for the outdoor nationals in 2023
Fast rider obviously but you look better and faster on the ol 2 smoke
Thank you! He shreds too
Remember matty you can buy two YZ‘s for that price don’t be tempted to the Darkside😂💰💙👨🏼🦳🤪⚙️🏔
😂😂😂
Was never great at those ruts wish i could have figured em out better
Sob is great rut practice, I struggle there sometimes also
2 temps rien de mieux ❗
Agreed!
Bippp
✊🏻
why does it have to be easy ? would you rather be a DJ or a musician Rarely that which is easy is ever worth remembering
I’m confused, this shit is pretty hard actually 😂
@@mattburkeen820 that's what I'm sayin practice on the 2 smoke and race on the 4 you probably do anyway
Is that stock suspension
It sure is lol
