  • 3rd ride on the amazing husky FX. I got a little time on a 2023 Factory Edition KTM 350 and a Factory Edition KTM 300. No difference that I could tell between the Husky and the KTM regarding motors for 350. The KTM 300 is a monster. Crazy fun. Yes it is smooth and easy to ride, but the bike begs to be held wide open with that much power.

      When I have raced, I always picked a lower bore over larger, and for the most part placed higher as a result. Handling, lightweight, suspension over motor, in particular desert racing ( I was much faster on 250 2 stroke than a 300 2 stroke). I like the 250F's but Im over 200 lbs, yet I ride aggressive so don't mind keeping things above 7,000 RPM. Honestly, in the past ( 2012 to 2020) the 350's felt like a 250F done right but I never trusted them on MX track. However, now the 23' 350 is no worries on technical or big air sections. The new 350F still feels like a light 250F with an instant burst of 450 if you want it, but never too much It is the perfect 4 stroke. . Way fun, way easy to ride.

      Thanks! I designed those on a Mac in illustrator and just had a local group print them. I had a bunch of red anodized stuff from my gas gas that fit, so wanted some more yellow mixed with red. Tired of blue look on husky too.

    As a vet rider looking for a 4 stroke thumper, currently have Beta 250rr. Is the husq lower seat height? As only 5 foot 8 lol. Great vid man

    • @parkcitymacs

      Yes, for sure get the Husky then. At first I was worried about the husky on a Motocross track with ruts being lower, but not problem. Trail riding, I'm so much more happy with the lowered height. Amazing! So glad I did not get a KTM. I'm 5 foot 11.

    What has more pull and torque? The 350's or the 300?

    • @parkcitymacs
      @parkcitymacs  Год назад +2

      That's a tough question. Exiting from a slick corner on a track and hitting say a 80- 90 foot double or triple, 2nd gear or possibly 3rd, then the 350 has superior torque and pull. Off a concrete start, long start, hands down the 350 pulls better. Short start on dirt, it would be close. The traction control is superior on the 350 if it's dry and slick up the face of jumps. I'm sure why that is the case. If you are riding in 1st year, loose rocks, steep, more hard enduro type riding the 350 still has more pull, but the lighter feeling motor, less rotating mass of the 300, less chance to stall, then the 300 is probably slightly better. I have raced mostly 2 stokes in Desert as well as motocross, but find the 350 is a better overall bike and much easier to just go have fun on. For a short loop, or perfect conditions the 300 has a bigger fun factor if you ride it pinned but for where I'm at now riding, time is short, so I kind of feel why buy a TBI 300 if you ride a gear tall and lumber it.

      @@parkcitymacs - I have a 23' Heritage 350, and its power and pull are crazy compared to the bikes I raced in the late 90's. I have been off a bike since 2001, but wanted to come back... This 350 pulls so hard, way harder than my old YZ-250 race bike did with engine work and race gace... I would be concerned riding a 450, if in fact they pull so much harder than a 350 as all the bike review guys say. I almost bought a 22' SX-450 KTM, but glad I did not.

      @@seangavingregory4367 I guess if I was younger, and racing only Moto, I might be on a 450. My problem is I never have fun on a 450. It's like a lifeless bike that goes really fast. The 23' 350 is like a super lightweight 450 that is fun. In the past the 350's have been fun, but more like super powerful mod'ed 250's or 290's. The new 23's 350's are much closer to 450 punch . I was really on the fence about getting a 23' TBI 300. I stopped riding 2 strokes when KTM made the TPI's because of the drop in fun. So when the TBI came out, I thought for sure, but now that I have had some time on one, I'm so glad I got the 350!
