KTM 525 EXC Mini Review at Brushy Mountain

Riding my friend Ryans KTM 525 EXC at Brushy Mountain Motorsports park. For being an almost 20 year old bike, it's incredible how good it is.
The power is instant, linear and unlimited. The suspension works great, and the bike feels light and compact. Ergonomics are spot on, especially if you're used to KTM / Euro bikes. Probably one of the easiest 4 strokes to start and even with lots of low speed riding it didn't overheat (it does have a fan). This thing is an awesome trail weapon!

I have an 05 525 exc, absolutely love it and agree with everything you are saying.

"Ton of traction" sounds like music in my ears. Do you think its vibey?

[@DmitriyAdv]

After riding small bore two strokes, most 4 strokes seem to have such great traction!
I don't recall it being particularly vibey, though I didn't ride it at higher speeds where the annoying 4 stroke vibrations usually occur.

I wish i had the money to own one like that:(

[@DmitriyAdv]

I don't know where you are in the world, but since the 525's are 20 years old now, in North America they are actually very affordable. Especially compared to practically any newer motorcycle.

I’ve seen them going for 3-6k not bad at all

​@IIVIIATT2 I got mine for 2k cdn. Needed a couple small things but I was able to register it for the road and have full insurance.
