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
@@matthewtoes6433 I'm testing the durability :) It does make me smile though. The pure hatred in your heart when you see someone else succeed at something you want so bad is hilarious. Be kind. Being mean is not a good look.
Sorry little Karen here, Lesotho is a different country from South Africa. It's landlocked inside SA but different countries, but still awesome seeing you ride in my side of the world and in places in Lesotho where I have been. Epic!!
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. You could make a decent video out of this like part 1+2 🤔. Above all w8sh you speedy recovery, be safe ride safe ✌
They all weigh nearly the same +/- a kilogram. There is no noticeable weight difference, so I'm quite confused about why he always talks about 4 strokes being "sooo much heavier"
@@theyeetus1428 In a four stroke you have alot more rotating mass, altough the four strokes wont feel particularly heavier when the engine isoff, but when the engine is running they do feel heavier than two strokes..
@@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.
If you want to improve your clutch work and throttle control in the woods, go with the 150. When you hop back on the big bike it’ll seem like a breeze lol
Welcome to SA mate!! Would have been epic to be there 😅 Looke like you had major fun! The new KTM 300 seems rad! Seeing you back in Africa again? :) *That bail at the river was the money shot for the photographers LOL, good one bud. Enjoy man!
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.
Wow that scenery. So lucky. Surprised you didn't get more chance to ride every bike. Would of liked to hear your thoughts on both 250s. Excellent footage
Wow! What an experience mate 👍👍👍 made up for you - bet that was frikin tiring though ! I’d have chosen a 250 2T for that lot shame you didn’t get to try the full fleet 👍👍👍
great video and riding. seemed like the terrain in the 4 stroke part was a lot more technical. I have the 350 and love it, once i get tired it does become a little bit of a handful . i guess endurance really is important.
Dang it. The secret is out. Lesotho is the best riding ever. Good to see you on some of the Roof time trial routes there. It gets way more technical. But when you get up top the big mountains the view is worth the toil. 300 is the one you want for Lesotho.
you did well there to keep up when you haven't ridden the trail before, I'm not surprised you hit that tape barrier either, so hard to see at that speed on grass!
I am such a huge fan of ktm I have had a 2000 200cc ktm 2 stroke since I was 14 I'm 32 now and still have that bike. Sadly she is not running at the moment
Mate I wanna ride ,soooo much broke my elbow had radius replaced and iv got issues so they wanna take it out and leave nothing in its place .? Not heard of that before just hope I’m able to ride soon 😓🥲
I've been watching your for 4-5 years now its crazy how Marvis has come from riding with his friends and having a laugh to meetings Jarvis now being flown out to test ride new bikes
These bikes are really really amazing and the front guys could go fast that even my self couldn't see the road clearly and the motorbike sound always gets me 🤣🤓
Great video mate,but I'm in stitches laughing...if you just listen to your audio,you sound like a 80's porn star 😅...with that Frank Spencer twist!! Brilliant 👏 😊😂
i feel like that is not apart of south africa. i live in more of the popular areas of south africa and the people are alot more hostile and when my mates and i go on funrides people throw rocks and stuff. i am glad that you got to experience the good stuff
So cool. I got to do ktm demo days and ride all their bikes also, though i settled on a 450, I did love how playful the 150 is too. One question, what is the display on clutch side of handlebars?
*SO WHATS YOUR THOUGHTS?*
My thoughts are that I suddenly really a need a new 300
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
Why don't you do any stunt you scared of it or anything else
i like beer
I'm still buying a 2024 beta 300 😊
This man gets to travel and ride dirt bikes. Living the dream.
Marvis is a much better rider than he gives himself credit for. Africa and dirtbikes truly is a different experience
quite the opposite
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

wanted to say the same thing Lesotho is a country on its own
Am I the only one who thought Africa was just only a bunch of trees and villages

I did too 😂

Amazing bikes I do think you should give the 250 4 stroke a go if you ever get the chance. It’s a lot lighter. Love your videos

So stoked you managed to ride the stomping grounds ! Now you can enter Roof Of AFRICA next year 👀
I like the new control clusters, very clean.
Yeah they are aren't they
Lesotho is a separate country within the borders of South Africa. Swaziland is the same. Im a South African btw.
KTM Best motocross/offroad bikes on the planet. japanese brands dont even have a look in 🍊

@@hurelllucieer6225 huh. Didn’t know that. People act like it’s a new concept though
3:31 Where the hell did that rock come from????
fyi: Lesotho is an independent country and is not part of South Africa.
Why you got to be that one guy that thinks he should share his useless opinion
Close enough

wish this video didn’t end. felt like i was there. i miss riding so bad but i get to experience it thru you 💪🏽

You a definitely blessed dude keep up the amazing content!! You’ll be a sponsored rider by KTM soon!
you dont know how happy i am , im actually from lesotho❤. lesotho is a country of its own btw , its not part of south africa😂
It's down south so it's fine! haha. What a beautiful Country
Haha, typical.
Nah, not really fine is it 😂 Lesotho is it’s own country.
I was so nervous watching you do the special race, the amount of times you were holding your breath. You did so awesome 🙌
Opportunity of a life time this buddy, we’ll done looks fantastic 👌
What an epic ride, KTM is not seating ontheir laurals. Probly why I have owned 7 of them and looking for another. I am 74 and riding since I waas 14.
Keep up the amazing videos you got me into dirt biking your my inspiration honestly
Awesome to hear
@@MidWestMX if you don’t mind me asking I have a question
@@TheGroup.56 whats that
how many times have I told you to come and ride here? Looked real good
You have officially reached “Legend” status! Great video.
Love your content puts a smile on my face with every video there’s nothing better then a trail ride with your mates keep up the good work✊💨
Lesotho is not pronounced “Le-sew-toe”, but “Le-sue-two” 😆
Wow! What an experience mate 👍👍👍 made up for you - bet that was frikin tiring though ! I’d have chosen a 250 2T for that lot shame you didn’t get to try the full fleet 👍👍👍
You are such a nice guy
You should come down to Tasmania and ride
Great video. 🇱🇸Lesotho not 🇿🇦South Africa
Although Lesotho is in inland South Africa, it is an independent country.
Lesotho is a country surrounded by South Africa. It is NOT South Africa or IN South Africa!
It’s in the south OF Africa though 🤣
The Enduro Kex guys were there too. This is some good stuff. I wish I could afford a new bike, but alas, I cannot. Thanks for sharing.
Lesotho is a land locked country inside the middle of South Africa. It is not South Africa....
I know this already
Hope you enjoyed our beautiful South Africa 😊
Lesotho is not in South Africa, it’s a separate country
I know. But it is in the south of Africa 🤣
I see what you mean 🤣 we would say Southern Africa. Very nice video
That must of been a mega experience. Fair play to ktm ✊
Bro , im going to buy my really first bike in November im thinking of a 150 exc what do you think bro ?? Love your content Man !!
great video and riding. seemed like the terrain in the 4 stroke part was a lot more technical. I have the 350 and love it, once i get tired it does become a little bit of a handful . i guess endurance really is important.
“AFRICAN DIRTTT!!! “
Lesotho is a separate country from South Africa
Looks amazing. Im caught between a 300 and 350f. Leaning towards the 2 smoker
Ktm is the best and they luck so slipping good
This video called my 2011 Yamaha and me poor in 200 languages 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Tbh i think that the 150 suits you better
Love the content man!
Wowzers. Dude you rock. Very cool opportunity. Thanks for posting
One of the most amazing video what we seen! Truly amazing! These new bikes are really cool 😁
Enduro Kex was there too, unforgettable moments !

nice video, new followers from crossermakassar and greetings from indonesia
you did well there to keep up when you haven't ridden the trail before, I'm not surprised you hit that tape barrier either, so hard to see at that speed on grass!
We pronounce it like Le-Sootoo 0:03
But cool video bro, good to see some SA recognition
Fantastic opportunity bud, looked awesome, trails were great, very smart bikes , great vlog dude ✌🏼
what an opportunity! well deserved! been waiting on the prices for the 300 tbi
Awesome video, great riding an amazing scenery, 😊😊😊
Awesome video, like always.
You made me want to trade in my 350 for a 300 baby. Great content as always.
Awesome video man! What an experience that must have been.
Loved this! What an experience, pretty mind blowing.
when you love for ugly orange actually pays off :) HUSKY FTW!
Bro i love your videos i love when you are just riding!
I am such a huge fan of ktm I have had a 2000 200cc ktm 2 stroke since I was 14 I'm 32 now and still have that bike. Sadly she is not running at the moment
I just think you should've had a chance to ride the new 250 four stroke as it is not as aggressive as the 350.
Yeah It is annoying I never got to ride one. Everyone who did said they were amazing
Come on! We're not part of South Africa, We're in Southern Africa. We're our own country ..... you should join the Roof of Africa
@MidWestMX I live in Zimbabwe🤩 come ride here. It’s BEAUTIFUL here!!!!
Welcom to South Africa where we stil live in 1988. The pothols are bigger than youre head.😅😅😅
I can feel my wallet puckering up by the minute. Take my money KTM 😂
It's completely different to last years model. Take my money!!
You're videos have me buying a new chin mount for my own videos
Mate I wanna ride ,soooo much broke my elbow had radius replaced and iv got issues so they wanna take it out and leave nothing in its place .? Not heard of that before just hope I’m able to ride soon 😓🥲

LUCKY MAN!!!👍My RD125 and RD350 Both from 1980 something have electronic powervalves, just saying😄
Most excellent riding over awesome terrain! I'm looking at the 2024 300 XC-W very closely.
It's a game changer
South Africa? Didn't see one lion or giraffe. Could of been darkest Wales.
Great channel.

bro its south africa we dont have lions just roaming around in the middel of lesotho. you get that in nature reserves🤣
Lekker vid mate. You say Lesotho like a yank :) but you ride like Graham Jarvis.
How did you get your bike there and what place are you riding it looks good im getting motivated to do it myself
Sickkkk wish I was taller if get one I don’t like not being able to touch the floor when I stop 😂😂
Unfortunately lesotho isn't part of south Africa, but its close enough
Is there any endouro riding in the u.s anywhere California specificity?
