It depends but to do it over again I'd probably have looked at a '17-19 KTM. There's nothing wrong with my bike right now but it took 2 months of work to get it running, both engines I received had issues. Got this bike out of curiosity and because I wanted 'new' but few months into ownership I'd done more work to the bike than I would have on a used bike. Maybe they improved things on new ones, I can't say, after I fixed the engine it's been solid for last 100-hours so that's good. Also I run into Chinese QC issues even still, went to install a Rekluse and the steel discs wouldn't fit in one engine but do fit in the other engine, thankfully I had a spare engine to test it on but this isn't unexpected on these bikes.
@SCakey What was wrong with the engines? The bike I'm looking at is a very clean 44hour 2017 ktm 300cx-w $5600 The other is a 2024 gpx tse 300 with a kd jet kit and a few other things with 88 miles on it guy wants $4500.
@@timofeypinchuk877 His might not have issues. Powervalves locked closed, waterpumps seep coolant lightly, seen bad piston rings on new engines and I'm sure very few have done top ends. For that difference to me the KTM is much easier to find parts going forward. GPX is 'the same' but different, various parts are KTM copies with different thread pitch so you have to replace more than you'd think to use a KTM part. They arent bad bikes just odd differences from KTM you dont always expect.
did you put KTM stickers on your GPX?
Scrubz designs plastics come with decals so got KTM logos on it.
So what do you think so far, worth it or buy a used 2017 ktm 300 for 6k.
