Sweet! I was at this Demo, I can see my son and a friend standing in line! I must have been on the course riding. What a blast the Demos are!!! Thanks KTM!!!!!! :)
hi aragoster i wish you ride well in arizona !!:O) thnaks for everything buddy.....i finally make my choice .........(drum roll) ktm 350 xcf ...lol !! i purchase my bike this week i received it on march 20 !!! when i received it i post a vids on youtube!! take care!
@sao007 i think its a great bike!!! specially since they have the xc model now and not just the sxf.There is no difference in engine power or delivery between the two, but the gearbox on the xc model with the extra gear (6 speed)definatly makes riding the xc on the trail alot more versatile and lets of the screaming oncrack tendencies of the sx, the simplicity of the non linkage is also on the xc keeping the ground clearance up for endurocorss type logs and rocks
so overall i think its an awesome bike its got the 250 lite feel but that extra 100cc's really can come in handy for big hills and deep sand and we topped it out at like 90mph down a paved street so it doesnt lack anywhere and it doesnt stand out in any other which i think makes it and easier ride and less to think about on the trail. oh yea electric start rocks!! plus the xc come with a kick backup and 2.5 gallon tank for a fullday of trail riding!!!
They are demo days they have many of them all year round across the country you usually have to sign up for them through your local KTM or Berg dealer just so that anyone with no money and no possibility of actually buying a new bike can go get a free ride on a badass new bike. Every now and then you will find an open DEMO to the public but not often.
@sao007 i didnt try the 390 but i rode the fx450 , fe 450 and the 570 and they are super awesome machines!! but if i had to choose i'd pick the ktm 350 its got plenty!! another reason is finding ktm stuff is way easier than having to find some wierd little part for a husaberg that takes like two weeks of waiting while all your buddies just swap parts off the ktm's . one more point it seem like the berg 390 is just a detuned version of the 450 giving it nicer manners :/, but the 350 is
if u have anymore question to help your choice dont wait to ask i rode every model that ktm and husaberg makes that day and riding them all with such short interval made each key manner stand out from the rest!
do you try husaberg 390 fe?? ....i hesitate between the 350 xcf and the berg! i ride woody trail sand pit sand sometime cross track which bike you think are the best for me!? by the way you are so lucky ktm made ride test like this are you a pro rider or its open for everyone!?
I need some advice. I have a 2008 450 xcf, and i love it, but it's a little heavy in the technical sections since i'm only 170 lbs. i'm going to be getting a new bike soon, im leaning more towards a 250 or a 350, but i'm afraid im going to miss the power of the 450 in the open sections, what's your advice?
@aragoster hey i have a Question this place looks real cool i was wondering were this place is and im wondering how high is the bike (350 xc) cause im 5ft 8 and i dont know if i can put my feet down if i need to stop cause i just got i job and i am going to by one cause i need to be able to touch
lucky mannnnnn!!!! do you think its a good trail bike or its a little bit more like a cross! every article i rode said the same thing ...and seem its not a great ride for trail and single trrack !! please let mo know im from Montreal canada and my dealer receive one in a few weeks and i wanna be sure its the right bike before buy one!!!thx!
but the 350 is its own bike not a powerful 250 or a weak 450 which to me might translate into an overall tighter package, and again ya cant mess with the cylinder design of the berg, i hope this helps man! in the end it might just be what like more orange? or blue(and yellow)?
