      Haven't finished watching it until but the 300 looks 👌🏻 and sound beautiful I think the tbi was a good move but back to the old premix but at least they finally got the suspension dialed in at stock and I'm going to carry on and I'll give you my honest opinion

      Was he even worthy of being a test rider fell off 5 times Infront of camera man nearly drowned him self in a river
      No good clutch control & and doesn't no when to change gear properly for the speed that he is doing
      I don't think he would be very good at any sport that he tried doing

    The confidence you had in all of those bikes especially the 150 says it all, you have massively improved over the years and for KTM to call you...again says it all. Another awesome content, you dont seem to fail to impress 😅. How about an adventure ride in Africa...now this would definitely be interesting with you and all the boys on your new toys.

    • @theyeetus1428
      @theyeetus1428 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@theyeetus1428Most of those people are “two stroke 4 lyf” kind of people who probably haven’t ridden a modern four stroke or are just biased. That said, there is still an appreciable difference in ride feel; the four strokes have more weight higher up in the engine and as @777melin said, the rotating mass and engine braking on a four stroke makes it feel heavier, especially 350 and above.

    I don’t mind the idea of an electric powervalve. Honda had the RC valve back in the day. Only problem is bad wiring. But they may have resolved it. Glad you had fun though! To be honest I wasn’t the biggest fan of KTM until I saw the new models and the design is growing on me.

    Hopefully these are better than the 890 adventure, a friend of mine got a 23 890 only to discover the subframe doesn't sit straight so your rear sits offset to the rear tire/swing arm. cant fit pannier racks to it as bolts wont match up. currently waiting for KTM to decide what they are going to do replace it or pretty much to bad so sad. been waiting 3 months for a reply. researching it results show its a fairly common fault.
