I have always loved the big fours dirt bikes but they have all but given up on the duel sport/enduro market. They just don't make bike that even come close to a TE510, KTM500, FE570, KTM200 or a Husky WR300. It's also sad to see KTM buy up Husky & Husaberg just to make blue & yellow KTMs.
Ok we know they are all good in the dirt since they are all dirt bikes with plates slapped on but what about on the road? Hows it feel at 70mph on the highway? are the headlights good enough to feel comfortable riding at night? can you plant your ass on the seat for a few hours on a road trip without pain?
finally a ril dirt rider on crf250 whew it took a long time to search for this vids,.i just wanted to see if crf250l will perform well im goin to buy 1 nxt week..tnx guys..
I'd like to see how these bikes handle on the street. I'm more of a dirt guy myself, but have been considering upgrading my '99 WR400f dual sport for something a little more streetable, so I can save gas as a daily driver. Might just get a WR250r and keep the 400.
I actually ended up getting the 250r. It's proven to be the perfect bike for me. Great daily driver, rides better on the dirt than my 400, and handles the freeway like a champ for those rare times I need to take it on the freeway. But yes, about the max seat time on this bike is 2hrs, then you just have to take a break and walk around a bit.
lol so true, dunlop d606 front and back, love em off road.. I was looking at buying a new seat but I'll prob just throw a gel pad in my pack if i need it.
@@dereckrodriguez9688 Man, can't believe I've had the bike for 6 years now. Power is good enough for power wheelies in 1st. Need to preload for 2nd and 3rd, but doable. I actually have the bike set up as more of an ADV bike. Seat Concepts, 4.7gal tank, small windshield, and D606 rear / MT43 front make for an awesome amount of capability in one bike. Still have the 400, still ride it, but most rides I prefer the 250.
Still Hoping / Praying / Wishing for a Similar comparo for Ultra Lightweight (in the 250lbs range) …. sigh … Someday (fingers crossed). Of course ANY Time that “..weight” is referred to in the Title, the WEIGHT Spec should be stated.
Ok.. for enduro.. next time find some woods...roots... find some mud.. find some big steep hills..up and down..find some tight technical too.. not only this wide open shit. I mean most of this vid shows roads..
Yea I figure so.. a friend has a couple year old 350 ktm that works good for local trails.. but for a test? ..an enduro bike ought to have been tested where there are enduro conditions.
Amazing how nobody comments on this guy's day old stubble.. in the last video i watched everybody was giving the presenter hell for his mullet. fashionistas, lol.
Beta, an itallian company, has developed their own engine for the first time, its also the only carburated engine here........RUN AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY NOWWWWWWWWWWW
dont confuse yourself, gs1200, multistrada, adv-1290 and those kind of bikes are not in the same category as these bikes. These are not adventure motorcycles, they are enduro bikes made for off road riding.
All the American pros call it that...ok if you are American...let us know what language you are speaking and it will make sense.....actually they affectionately call it the HUSKY.....now for the KTM it should be pronounced KahTehEmm ....but we'll have to wait a while for someone to use the original name.....well...since it is by far the best bike..KTM ....maybe somebody will at least TRY.
A 310 is not as powerful as a larger motor. WOW, thanks!
I have the 2012 350 Exc. with an EU remap and FMF slip on it's a really awesome bike

So what if you substitute the SWM RS300R for the TE 310 today?
The way he pronounces Husqvarna is hilarious
all those bikes are great,till they break down,here in miami you can find parts,dealer or service shop for them.

Glad to hear pro opinions.
i own a 310te and very pleased with it,just has 5 gears,thats the only minus for me,but overal fantastic bike
These are more lightweight as far as dual sports. Love to see the KTM690 vs the F800GS vs. new Husqvarna TR650.
I'd be happy with any of them! All badazz bikes! Good review!
What year are these bikes ?😂
no japanese bikes? come on!

wr250r will hurt yer ass...I find myself standing on long rides

How’s the power on it though? Good for wheelies on the street? And slapping some street Tires on it?

Awesome trails!

Gotta wonder about a guy who pronounces it 'chazzy'.
Better off using Yamaha, Honda and ktm
Of course the KTM is going to be the best but you pay a premium for it.
True
Please learn to say husqvarna right....
Grafer90 APB right ! it’s Husk Varna cycle works it’s hard to take then serious if they can’t even pronounce it ...
its 11,000 for a wr by the way

Hawaiidirtrider the 350 Exc is good on all that stuff
Yea I figure so.. a friend has a couple year old 350 ktm that works good for local trails.. but for a test? ..an enduro bike ought to have been tested where there are enduro conditions.
Hawaiidirtrider oh I see what you're saying. yeah I agree, it's actually better for doing various terrains than it is good for wide open stuff
Always the Austrian is the best...but I can see why...after spending my youth there...never thinking we are the best but always striving.
Why use a husky and ktm
Why not??
+XPWNZERX because they are practically the same, just slight differences
Amazing how nobody comments on this guy's day old stubble.. in the last video i watched everybody was giving the presenter hell for his mullet. fashionistas, lol.
Look`s more like a dual sport shootout.
looks like enduro to me...
Poul Hansen dual sport means good on both road and dirt these are very very leaned towards dirt
coz they weigh less
chuck Norris's son
best bike is the one u as a rider can afford!!
+cityfisherman89 Wrong. The best bike, is the one that fits our needs best.
demak dtm ftw!
BETA !

Also husqvarna, before being bought by ktm, used to be designed and built in italy, near Varese. So what's the deal here?
KATOOM!!!
KTM again and can carry a licence....must be the Austrian heritage?
EXC x3
This is "mid weight" ??! "Dualsport" ????? I'd like to see what a "light weight" dualsport is... What the fuck is this video?
lol..are you for real? what the fuck! give this guy an IQ pill quickly, he is in the subzero area.
no this guy is right. Dual Sport is up to 1200ccs, mid weight should be 650ccs, lightweight 250cc
dont confuse yourself, gs1200, multistrada, adv-1290 and those kind of bikes are not in the same category as these bikes. These are not adventure motorcycles, they are enduro bikes made for off road riding.
+FrostPhoenix Tade nope I'm not buying that. it's on road off road vehicle, that's dual sport category
FrostPhoenix Tade Give me *your* definition you fucktard.
and half the capabilities... Everyone pays for what they want, if you want less then pay less for something that's worth less
KTM ROCKS :-)
