I don’t know how it is for a lot of other people but for me I haven’t been able to experience other bikes and compare the nuances of each one. I own 2 bikes, one 2 stroke and one 4 stroke, each feel different. I have owned one other 2 stroke in the past and I got the opportunity to sit on that bike recently and it felt odd! It was set differently than the one I have now but didn’t notice how much until then. Most of the people I ride with usually don’t swap bikes around so I don’t get to know they are like and the ones I do ride are for short (5 minute) rides and even then I’m being so careful that I don’t pay attention to anything. I appreciate these videos that explain and detail the differences and lay out the pros and cons of a broad range of bikes!
Kyle, would love to see you get a newer kdx200 (2006 was the last year) and do a review/comparison to the newer bikes. Also if you haven't ridden one you owe it to yourself to, the bike is a legend.
I have owned 3 sherco's so far had lowered footpegs 5 down 5 back now have flow footpegs 10 down 12 back love them moves me back to a wider part of the bike
Love Dirt Bikes and love your channel!! I'd like to support you as a patron to support you...One question, how can I learn more about your bike give-aways. Is this available to patron supporters only? Thanks Kyle!! I want to support you either way, but getting a chance at a new bike would be amazing too!!
My 250fx is the most stable off road bike I've ever ridden....with suspension good enough for the motocross track or trail. Have not ridden the newest KTMs tho.
@DirtBikeChannel I would love to see your thoughts on the Beta Xtrainer 300. I'm considering that bike and the Beta 200rr. Either way, I think it would be i interesting to hear your thoughts about the Xtrainer.
What tires are you running. I’m not finding much selection in the 90/90-21 and would like to try something other than the AT81 that came on the bike. Thanks and keep up the great videos!
My KTM 500 EXC is a bit TO stable lol, (like wrestling a stubborn bull getting it to turn). It got me by surprise first time I did a turn at a bit higher speed but I kind of like it as it suits my kind of riding (slow in turns and lazy riding in general). Overall the KTM 500 EXC is much more easy to ride even in the most technically difficult impossible places I would never ever dare to take my old Yamaha WR450 F . The Yamaha was horrible to ride slow with as it would stall all the time if you did not run up the rpm using clutch all the time, the KTM 500 have never ever stalled on me and it is also very easy to use the clutch on it if you want to go really really slow.
I don't know how it felt riding it but I sure like the look of how it goes down the trail thru the camera. Engine sounds like it's not even working. I am an old Husky rider so I'm used to a lot of stability at any speed and how it pulled so easily on the bottom end. Yeah, there's days I wanted quick handling but not most of the time.
Every bike is stable leaned against a tree.... Mine is even more stable because it's on a stand. Dampers level the stability playing field and reduce fatigue considerably....
@@southwestenduro1714 personally the 2020 Sherco is the best bike I've ever ridden, I put a smartcarb2 on it, changed the bars and is just fantastic. I'll be getting a new one next year👍 I've ridden the 2020 husky and 2021 six days and motors and chassis IMO don't compare. KYBs are amazing!!!!
We've got a ton of them by us. Horses and horse trails LOL. I think they might get spooked if they're approached out of nowhere, by us single track riders in the woods though. The horses, I mean 😬 I'm with you though. The single tracks are ususally less beat than the horse trails 👍 Thin red line ✌😎
Honda's CRF150F is a good starter bike too. They're lighter and a little shorter than the 230. Which makes it easier to pick up and easier to reach the ground for sure footing on uneven ground. They have plenty of power and are fun for beginners, and seasoned riders to practice techniques on as well. It's sometimes easier to learn new things on a smaller less powerful bike.
Hi! I wonder... since I have a YZ250FX like you did... Do you feel the extra 50cc gives you noticeable more power? Enough for example to make a long and loose climb in third instead of having to switch to second? It’d be great to hear your opinion (or anyone’s that have own a 300 and a 250 4T)
Jonathon Catterson Well, they say more “snappy”... but I wonder if that also means it can climb long and loose hills better than the Sherco 300. Most my friends ride KTM 350 and 99% of the times my FX keeps up perfectly, but in very loose and steep hills they have no trouble climbing in third and my engine can’t. I’ve tried different maps and get the same result... I wonder if the 300 is closer to the 350 in that sense...
@@zacharysmith7872 hmmm. Can't say that I've had that issue. I've been riding bikes, quads and three whelers for about 40 years now. I've only ever had my brakes ever make noise when the pads or shoes were wet. Or of course down to the rivets and backing plates. But that is a whole different ballgame 🤣
I saw this come over, and at first glance, I thought it was titled "How is your stable of bikes?" 😂

So jealous of the trails you ride awesome 👍🇬🇧
I'm in on the sweepstakes...I love this bike and I need it😂😂🤞🏻🤞🏻
Is... Is that overheated brakes I hear, well done Kyle you must be really moving and not showing it on camera. Good vids, Thanks

Get a 90 100 fromt shinko 216 can go wrong

I just saw a sheirco 300 today at my local moto shop and damn that thing is impressive...everything down to the diamond grip seat
They are certainly a great looking, and great quality bike
Not sure If my next bike will be a :
Ktm exc f350
Sherco sef 300
Beta rr 300f or a Yamaha wr 250f
Are forks better on the new ktm??
KTM have always had issues with WP stock suspension so if you can get a bike with KYB it would be your better option
sherco best
MonteBaldo 19 sherco. Best with least mods
@@HowToGetMoreMetal yeah, sherco seems to be the best stock bike out there!
i suggest wr if youre getting a newer model

Hi Kyle, I'd love to see you do a back to back with the 2020 Sherco SE 300 Factory (my bike) to see how you think they compare.
Do I sell my 2017 Exc and buy the 2020 se 300

yeah! 🤘
Us enduro riders or single track guys leave less of a foot print than horses I have noticed. Wish they would let us go on horse trails.

What's a good beginner bike?
Too many variables. Need more information. Height, weight, age, type of riding... just for starters.
TTR230.
13, 5'3, trail riding
Allison Hines I’d say a 230, they are great beginners bikes to transition on to a bigger bike like a 250 4t or 125 2t

Are these bikes road registerable in Australia
Yip and new Zealand

Earlier videos he says the 250fx feels more powerful.
What yesr is your 250fx. Try the keefer tune

From what I have heard the 250 is more of a faster speed bike and the 300 has better low down torque which is better for hill climbs and hard enduro
@@cokecruzb yea thats bevause the 350 has as much horsepower as the 450 does almost.
I thought you said this bike was extremely twitchy and unstable in the other video ?
He moved the the forks in the clamps down, for some reason they were 9mm above the triple clamp from stock!!!!
Thorn Carnegie 👍👍
I have a 4 stoke
why don't you make hack videos anymore
I believe he just did one on the leaky thermostat assemblies on the 2020 2T KTM’s
Those brakes 🤦♂️
🙉
They are brembo
@@joecooper1543 what they are is squeaking and squealing. Egad! 🤔
