love my 250sx! it's only a matter of a few years until we see more two stroke 250s. My guess is the next new 250 2 smoker will be green...then we see a couple MX pros...then they sell even more...and on and on. Thanks to KTM for keeping two stroke development going!
Michael Pullins your a moron, you said you liked fuel injection, i said go buy a new 450 if so, i like my simple 2 stroke carbed, basically if you want that technology go buy a 4 choke
It's funny he says this bike has TONS of over rev when the Dyno shows it signing off pretty quickly after peak which is below 9 grand if I'm not mistaken. The Yamaha 250 doesn't make as much power anywhere on the front side of the curve before peak as the KTM, but makes much more power from 9 grand up even after peaking. THAT is over rev. The Yamaha motor may not make as much peak power and therefore not as fast as the KTM in the hands of a skilled rider, but it's broad power range with adequate over rev can keep it competitive because the shift points don't have to be so spot on. It allows more freedom because riders can stay in one gear and just stretch it out on certain straights vs having to shift up for a second only to have to shift back down entering the corner.
@@brandonnewman1018 on any Dyno, it's irrelevant. Yes all dyno's will have variance and even the same dyno may show different numbers for the same machine in the same day based off temp and barometric pressure, but it's not going to vary much in the way of rpm. For instance a KTM on X dyno signs off quickly after peak, if you take the same bike to dyno Y it's not going to magically make tons of over rev after peak. Sure the numbers may be different between X and Y, but the curves will still be largely the same. The KTM motor has been relatively unchanged since 17 when it began it's current iteration. The Yamaha 250 makes more power from peak until sign off than the KTM, regardless of what dyno.
I have a 2002 ktm 125 with a some engine upgrades which now makes it a 200sx. I had SGB racing do my suspension and it RIPS. I love KTM because of how light they are. Yamaha has the best suspension stock.
After running 40:1 for many years it made me nervous to so I went to a higher spec oil (Putoline mx9) 30 hrs later no issues what so ever but I wouldn’t dare try a cheeper pre mix
Yes, KTM'S are more money usually. But they have really built a great bike. And just like cars and truck you can get a lemon every now and again. Just fix the problems and keeping riding
@@cheto2952 What Tyler is pointing out is that these test riders most likely grew up on four strokes. They're used to actuating clutches for four strokes and haven't mastered "riding the pipe".

Glad to see it dosent have fuel injection and electric start, im oldschool and like carburators
Michael Pullins more junk to go wrong, go buy a new 450 kid

Will come soon.Have seen it 3 weeks ago
And it ran like a hurricane
@@1991tommygun im glad that it has a carburator too, but an electric start wouldn hurt anyone tho
It seems KTM makes the lightest out of all the classes

Yall should do a 250 two stroke shootout
Only 3 companies make 2 strokes anymore
And 2 are under the same ownership
Jacob Fitzwater And the other hasn’t changed since 2006
Live Fast Die Quick 2005*
Yesmate M they changed to different suspension in 06 that they kept ever since. Although the chassis hasn’t changed
Thank you for no crappy music.

Very nice video good job
Why did my 2020 250sx come with xplor rear shock??
How much
Bout 10 grand brand new
Got mine for 8570 in Alaska
THE 60:1 THING FREAKS ME OUT. I'M ALMOST 60.
This is an incredible coincidence my friend, the astrological sign that you are ''ready to race'' ! ;)

Cool
Is this a good begginer bike I’m serious
no
Intéressante inclinaison du moteur.

You can tell people have no clue how to ride two strokes in 2020.
I thought it was just me, I noticed it too
He can't ride huh? But he's the test rider and gets paid to do so, What are you doing with you're self?

Man, that is a sexy bike. 😍
Besides In 2016, the 125 and 150 got the good but the 250sx was the same as 2015
Fullcross🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Well at over $12.000 here in Australia, that's not what you call cheap ?
bike has ZERO top end or over rev. video is completely and utterly wrong. thing signs off like a diesel truck engine
😂😂😂 man
Hahahaha
😂 whaaa maybe the way you have it jetted mine pulls all the way had to richen up the top so it wouldn’t blow.
2-stroke vs 4-stroke... mhmmmm
