    The ktm sounds like the obvious option to me. Once suspension is setup for your liking it will be sweet. The more you train on it the more you'll trust it too 😁

    That's the air fork you're not trusting, spring conversion or cones will help that a lot.

      You would think that and I had the exact same thoughts but I had spring conversions and cone valves in 2021 and still just never found that last bit of confidence I was looking for.

    You ever try a hybrid fork on your ktms? I have a coppersmith setup and it's incredible and super cheap. Ohlins spring fork on one side, air spring on the other, super tunable and still that light steering feel

    Yamaha. Good power, great stock suspension, super reliable. Havn't ridden a 23 but once you learn to steer with the rear wheel they are really fun to ride.

    Ktm if you want the best of the best but you can’t go wrong with Honda but they will beat you up on the longer motos faster than the orange bikes. I’d go KDM. Traction control on slippery shit and you’ll be fine.

    Stock ktm shock is better than your tuned Honda shock?

    • @JoelEvans
      @JoelEvans  Год назад

      So since testing out a few different bikes and thinking about it a bit more, it actually has less to do with the shock and way more do it with the Chassis. But yes the stock KTM gives a much better feeling through the shock then my Honda because of the Chassis differences.

    I would stick with the Honda for 1 more year just coz with the new model bikes of ktm might be some faults with it still and aftermarket stuff might be a bit harder and costly to get atm with trying to get it setup for yourself.
    As with the Honda you’ve already got a good base line and know how to deal with its small problems

  • @eventerry9093
    @eventerry9093 Год назад

    How menny times have we seen the Honda shit it's self in your past they are just not durable and need to many mods to get them up to speed. As for the gayTM you might wana look into there motor issues as they have changed the outsourced manufacturing process on crank and rod assembly. Also parts availability is only going to get worse with shipping out of the EU and unless your budget is had a boost to the moon you don't get value overall running a practice and a race bike. The Kawasaki or Yamaha is the only two bikes with any reasonable arguments for the base starting points. In saying that I've just had two flat as get there New yzfs and they have been blown away by the change in 23 considering how strong the 22s proven durability and preforming was. If you can go blue you should make the change becouse after 10hrs your adjusted to the centralization feel and it suets your forward rideing style. Blues4boys
