Support the underdogs!The KTM's are greats bikes,even the tree hugging,sandel wearing,latte drinking,beer with a twist of lime ,hair product & skin regime riders are ok.I ride with some & personally enjoy the banter.

You have an excellent selection of bikes. About as good as it gets. The GasGas should let you do more deep woods exploring. You might even find those last few railroad trestles. Your ride reports are great!

Thanks...
very nice bikes.....

i know this is an old thread.. and i am not a brand hater... i ride with a guy who has one of the ktm 300 estarts and we are good friends..
the other day we went riding and some of his ktm buddies starting talking down on my gas gas... was not too happy about that....when i questioned them on why they felt that way, none really knew, and had never seen a gas gas in person before... had to show them how an old 01 300 would do everything their new pumpkins would do... and then some...

I think what it is.... is we all hear too much KTM this, KTM that.
You know, all the biased shootout articles that don't include every bike or every condition for their test, but ultimately KTM is the pinnacle.
The common newbie that you over hear saying I'm getting a KTM there the best.
Your friends constantly wearing, talking, bragging, living KTM.The funny thing is their always talking about fixing things on them, leaking counter shaft, suspension stiction, leaky gas cap etc....
You show up to an enduro and its like the great pumpkin had offspring all over the forest. Then your forced to weave though them like safety cones.
I remember a time when broken green plastic littered our forest, now its orange. At least the green blended in a little.

To me the argument should not be between KTM and Gasgas, it should be between jap. bikes and Euro. bikes... In my opinion I will never buy another Jap. bike again


I think the people will still hate USC even if they start lost every game for the next 20 yrs

good point roscoe on fixing the ktms.... also forgot on this particular day, one ktm had to rejet and do some other things to (tank and seat off, but between all of them they had enough ktm tools in their ktm packs to do that)(this is at our normal riding area) and one of the other ones lost rear brake completly....
my gg has yet to need anything other than normal maint stuff ....
