After putting some thought into what bike I want next I decided on this klx300sm and do not regret my decision! Like and subscribe to follow the build series !
Love your talent. I am an old school rider that used to ride like that in the 70’s . I own a 2005 Softail Deluxe and just purchased a new 300sm. Same as yours. Keep up the great energy you have and ride safe. And yes because of you I love my 2023kawasaki 300sm. Thanks…
I've had mine for 3 months now and I got 2600 miles on it. Bro I can't even get off it. It's really a nice bike, people talk about flaws but it's a dirt bike that is street legal, lol. I'm thinking about getting a Honda crf450 which is also legal, but don't know yet.
Great review. I love your energy. You know how to have fun on a motorcycle! I've been close to pulling the trigger on this bike, but it looks like the 24's have a redesigned tail light and LED's, so I may wait til they hit the showrooms.
in early August I got my 2023 also. And I love it! I’m 62 and you’re right, You make your bike what you want it to be. Heck, my last bike was a Harley Davidson Electra glide. I like this one hell of a lot better.I don’t do wheelies I’m too scared to try. I got mine to cruise around the country and it is perfect for that and it corners so good! I’m glad you was able to get you one!
Best review on this bike I’ve seen. Thanks! like everyone else, I’ve had all the big bikes. Don’t plan on taking any trips so why not ride a slow bike fast. Highway.....the service road is a lot more peaceful. And half the fun is taking the roads less traveled.
The more I ride my KLX230S the more I start to think that all of the people dying on motorcycles are the ones stating you need at least a 1000cc engine. I can't tell you how many of these people will respond with p*ssy bike and they have videos of themselves uploaded where they're going triple the speed limit. Nothing I'm saying is an exaggeration, they actually think this nonsense. I saw one pompous d bag big name TH-camr complaining about the KTM390 being such a low-end bike that really just isn't up to snuff when it goes 113mph top speed down hill. Who's ever gonna go that fast?
And they're riding around without any gear on either. My favorite is when they wear flip flops and own a 15k bike but can't buy something to protect their hands after they fall. Seriously this jack a55 I saw on TH-cam the other day uploaded a crash in which they were recklessly doing wheelies close to each other and someone lost a leg. Same video the guy has a 1000cc bike, no gloves, only shorts, goes triple the speed limit in a well populated area. Lmao smh.
Great review. Subbed. I picked one up in Feb. Changed tires to Pirelli Sport Demons in OEM size, handles better for me. Looking forward to your videos on this bike. It's cool to see your riding area. Lived in Lakewood many years ago, great area for riding.
Yo I got the teal tank/all black I didn’t like the tank at first was gonna paint it black but I’m just leaving it for now keep it stock these are nice little bikes for sure
Really good review! I'm nearly the same height and weight as you so it gives me a good idea what to expect. At 59 years old I'm a pretty good rider, and though I have more powerful bikes, I really want one of these 300SM's and I have no doubt that I'll have a lot of fun riding it.
Thank you I bet you would like it a lot also I have a video on the things I don't like about the bike that might be worth checking out before you buy one!
I recognized the terrain being as you are riding where I live in this video. I haven't pulled the trigger on this bike ... yet, as the local dealership on Colfax is not easy to deal with. Can you share what your out-the-door price was on this bike?
I put a Seat Concepts on mine and it’s night and day difference and it has a gripper top on it that doesn’t let you slide at all. I get a missed shift from 5th to 6th every now and then
@@bikesbeerbiceps they’re a little expensive I think mine was like $350 but they’re all hand made They get your height weight and riding style with your order before they start building it
I thought you were coming down into Golden at the end ha! 👍🏻 I looked at one today in Longmont and it’s tempting for sure! I recently sold my Monster 937 and this simple little thing may be just the ticket because I’m currently bike-less!! ✌🏻😎
Thanks for the review, hope to pick mine up this week. Downsizing from a Yami XSR700, but at 65 I just want something a little more docile. looking forward to it.
I think you just sold another one lol... it already matches my helmet too like literally. Ive owned 750s and 650s and they are fun to go fast but man 200-500cc bikes are my favorite by far. Ive owned about 7 different motorcycles of all different types so far.
I have a KTN excf350 I love the motorcycle with the 2018 but man it's so damn loud and crazy style fast I'm kind of looking at this bike is a fun bike that isn't going to blow out your ears and you can kind of ring the neck a little bit more without worrying about crazy speeds
I'll probably be picking one up in the next year or 2, idk yet. Whenever I get the money and my drivers license then I'll get motorcycle liscense. I currently ride a 2019 KLX140G, and I prefer street over trail. So just get a supermoto. And my dad has a 2021 klx300 duel sport. And rode it a little and love it. So I imagine same power, a little shorter, and better handling on street. And I get my drivers license in Feburary. So not to long. And if I sell my bike I can get 3k from it, it's just the payments for the other 4-5k. First things I plan to do on it are Delkevic exhaust, and ejk tuner. Then maybe different headlight. Black it out with light blue accents
@@bikesbeerbiceps I've been riding for just over a year now. Funny thing is I was saving up for the klx, had about 1800 saved up. My dad already knew what type of bike I wanted, and took all the money that I saved and all the money he was saving for his 300. And went and drove to Kentucky with my brother one day without telling me(I live in wv) they just left and they do that sometimes so I didn't think anything of it. And at night time, my mom told me to go take out the trash and it was sitting on the back porch. It was great. The next weekend I picked up helmet and gloves, and started riding and caught on instantly, only crashed twice and nothing major since then. My first crash was like 4 months ago and my second was about 1 month ago. And both were on the same turn, the first was going up the hill and took the turn not tight enough, and the second time was going downhill and took it to tight and slid on fine dirt. Both times going about 25mph. But I'm fine other than a sprained arm arm, hand, and scraped knee. Still ride every weekend, cold or hot. Absolutely love jt
It comes with the 2 gallon tank it's just that it gets that good of a gas mileage you get close to like a hundred miles before the bikes out of fuel I have a KLX 300 super Moto 2021
Also there's a very limited market for these bikes and looking up parts for the motor and anything else that has to do with the drivetrain it's the same as a KLX 300r I found that out after I bought the bike
Nice man. I have one, too, and I'm in Loveland. Definitely recommend some wider foot pegs, de smog, pipe, intake snorkel upgrade, and you'll really enjoy it. Maybe I'll see you out there.
@@bikesbeerbiceps I did the snorkel and DNA air filter and de-smog first (pipe was backordered) then the slip on 9" delkevic about a month later. I'll probably do a tuner soonish, but it runs good now. Header is purple, which might indicate a lean condition. I'm no pro, and I have a new Husqvarna fe350s I'm having fun on, too.
@@bikesbeerbiceps It's super smooth. I did remove the pair valve as part of the de smog, that's what eliminated the pop, even with the stock exhaust. Also, it's a 2 gallon tank, and I check mileage at every fill, and I'm getting a solid 68 mpg.
Last time I was in/tru Colorado, I was 20! Nov.1977! On our way to Thermopolis. I kept dreaming of having a 500 XT on some of those hills! Make sure your soul is ready to meet Heaven at all times!

@@bikesbeerbiceps nice man! The throttle blade delete will be a night n day difference.. might seem difficult to do yourself. But honestly all the connections on the throttle body are different except 2.. so super easy to put back together
The break in on these is crazy. Don't go over 4k rpm for 150 miles and don't go over 6k rpm till 600 miles. Seems you didn't do this, I imagine most people don't do this.
I've heard such mixed things but on a really low compression bike like these imo I think as long as your not bangin limiter and not putting it under to much load you'll be ok
Love your talent. I am an old school rider that used to ride like that in the 70’s . I own a 2005 Softail Deluxe and just purchased a new 300sm. Same as yours. Keep up the great energy you have and ride safe. And yes because of you I love my 2023kawasaki 300sm. Thanks…
Yeah this is some Rad shit! Just bought mine stoked!
This bike is awesome people complain if it's like a super bike. It's nice little show stopper. I get a lot of compliments with this bike.
Very true people always complain haha how long have you had yours that's awesome you have fun on it!

Congrats on the new bike. I have a 2022 300SM and really like it. Looking forward to future videos on this bike and where you go with it.

got mine a few months ago. its definitely kind of finnicky at times during the break in period.

I bought the same bike 2 months ago, everything you said was 100% accurate. I got about 1200 Miles on my bike now!
That's awesome what color did u go with !?

Gas mileage?
i have a 140 rear on mine clears no issues. 150 would prob be a little tight. fun bikes and theyre so light theyre pretty forgiving
Can u say something positive about it? I heard mostly complains lol
💪💯🔥 I'm just started looking into to these .
I just got yesterday 6800 out the door
That's a good price he'll yea!
Dude you are hilarious and I like your editing and adding little comments or cuts about other things in the middle of the vid. Good stuff sir
Great Video. Considering this one. I have a z125 and they say its a 2 gallon tank which is BS. I can never put more then a gallon in.
I put a Seat Concepts on mine and it’s night and day difference and it has a gripper top on it that doesn’t let you slide at all. I get a missed shift from 5th to 6th every now and then
That's not a bad idea how much do those run and yea I get those missed shifts to I gess its a klx300 thing

This bike is definitely good for that but do know it is pretty slow haha but I just put a slip on on it and it definitely opened up

When you did the pipe did you have to get the fuel controller or do you think I could get away with just a slip on and de smog

Yeah man. I'm close to picking one up for myself. Good to see you're enjoying the riding.
Sendd it you'll love it !
I just bought a 23’ KLX 300sm
Do you think the 230 sm could be just as much fun like will it wheelie as well and what not
I do think it would be fun but I would recommend just getting the 300 I'm sure you could still wheelie it tho
First thing I'd do is cover the lime green with black vinyl wrap or maybe grey
That look sick
Looks like golden Colorado?
Should do a totorial on how to wheelie on this bike I can lift it up on 2
Will do stay tuned!
As always, great video dude! Keep it up!
Excellent wheelies.
Really good /great video.
What part of South Georgia is this??
This is Colorado! And thank you
