I owned and raced a KTM300 first year, and never raced or owned another bike. Loved the power of an open bike and weight of a 250. Best of both worlds. Raced a KTM 495, LC600, 350EXC 250EXC, but fell in love with the 300. Put a fatty pipe, upgraded reed block, carburetor, played with the different oils and mixes. Killer bike in the mountains of Appalachian, flats of Mississippi, deserts of Nevada and the Highlands of Scotland. Never missed a beat. Wishing I could still race. I got old. Been racing since the 70's with Barry Higgins and crew. Miss it dearly 😢
KTM didn't fix the fuel pump pick-up , they didn't up grade the stator, so one could add a fan or front light. They didn't address the piston hitting the crank. Waiting for a 2026
@@motourge3061 .... Don't worry about me ! If you don't like what I say too bad . Go read someone's else writing , this is my opinion . Look who is crying !
@@Unkownktm ... My statement is about true facts . You have no idea what bikes I have but you needed to add your 2 cents. Go buy you an ear patch and support crazy Trump and pass me by. LOL

Definitely a seasoned rider machine, not for the out of shape 😂

do you make the same statement on every video? I have a 23 300 XC and never had a problem. Go buy something else and stop whining....

@@goodboyringo9716 You don't even own one, but you speculate issues. Do you even own/ride a dirt bike? LOL
All the negatives are not fact, seems you never owned this bike.
