He owns it and doesn't know better?
Looks awfully lacking in mud to be an 'amazing' bike ... unless that is actually the bike in his avatar, in which case, I concede . |

You've obviously not rode any other bikes before.
.................. seat looks comfy though |
I think i've made myself look like Mr. No It All....
I have rode other bikes before, been on RS50's, RS125's, XR125's, GT125R and some other scrambler bikes that i don't have a clue about...
I said it's amazing as the bikes that i've been on just didn't seem half as good as this did, the feel of it, i guess its because i've got used to it.
I've also read many reviews too, been really good write ups, hardly anyone has been disappointed, only a few that had the 2000 models.
I don't take it offroad either, i know it's a scrambler and being enduro it's designed for dirt, i just don't do any of that, just keep it to tarmac.
Mmmmmm i think i need to keep to the "New Biker" forum, much suited there
Sorry guys, my bad. |

Well as long as you enjoy it, thats all that matters
Wise choice not taking it offroad either, im not sure how avalible parts are when they worn or broken. But im sure they dont sell aftermarket plastics ect. so anything that got broken would have to be replaced with an original part, sent from china.
Dont be put off by us, and enjoy your stay ____________________ Rides: '05 Yammy WR290-F |

Ah yea i did think it was chinese, sorry. And i didnt mean they fall apart, i mean if you had to replace parts from dropping it or falling off whilst taking it offroad - because eveyone does.
Can i have a go on your ktm too I would like too compare a 200/250 2-smoker to a 4t. ____________________ Rides: '05 Yammy WR290-F |

Ok thanks, although we live about 300 miles apart
Take it the enduro 250 you are referring to the exc 250 ? What are the 300's ment to be like ? Also i thought there is different power valve settings to change when it kicks in.
Sorry to the OP, going off topic about ktm's, although his bike is a orange ktm wanna-be ____________________ Rides: '05 Yammy WR290-F |

Sometimes further north, but not usually with the 200.
I haven't actually ridden the EXC 250, but have ridden others. Ridden a 300 Gas Gas too.
The 300s are generally like the 250s (as they're usually not too far off being big-bore 250s), but with a fatter bottom-end, so they can really tractor-up hills, etc.
While I'm biggin up the power-band of the 200, it still does have enough bottom-end to dawdle on, if you want. Probably has at least as much as the above XRX before the powerband kicks in, it's just there can be quite a sudden transition if you're not properly prepared for it.... fun when you are, though . |

No worries mate, i don't think anyone is going to keep on topic anyway, i mean who really knows about this bike?
I'm not a KTM wannabe though, i mean i guess it would be nice to have one, but i don't think i can afford one, and i'm not completely into motocross that i would have a proper dirt bike, just like the looks.
Don't think i could handle the easiest of dirt tracks to be honest!
Cheers G by the way, i'm to much of a friendly guy to bitch back
thanks for saying about meeting up too, but distance is an issue
I've heard from some people that the XRX is quite good off road and handles well, not that i know... Some videos on youtube i think too...
How much are KTM's and what speed can you get out of them?
Thanks again G, oh and wheely, for classing me as a KTM wannabe maybe i should change my username |

Old Thread Alert!
