You need to mention that statistically, riders have better lap times on a 350 vs a 450. The bottom line is always something you should dwell on.....!!!
Great video ! Comparing your laptimes on this bike and a 2024 450 would be so interesting….. maybe you have the chance to do it… Would be worth another video 👍👍
@@josephelefante9617I have a 2017. It’s been fantastic. Marvin Musquin has said in interviews that that year was his favorite. Over time, it seems like KTM has evolved the personality of the 350 into a mini 450, along with a bevy of frame changes that has had questionable reception with many. Also, there has been rumors that their parts are diminishing in quality as they come from China and not from Austria, although those rumors have lied primarily with their 2 stroke line. In short, I don’t know. I am looking to get an updated 350 as it will be harder to find parts for my iteration. I’d say if you prefer a 250f, I’d say the 350 is a no brainer. If you’re 200+ lbs, I’d have a moment to pause. Consider a 450 that could lug the weight better. Find a ride day at your local track and try on all the different hats and see what sticks.
hey great video, i do have an idea/request for one though, where do you guys get replacement parts for those bikes? like cluch levers and grips and stuff.
I rode a 350 sx-f for years. Never thought that a 450 sx-f would be much easier to ride, but it is. You have to wring the 350 out much more. When you do this, it is so aggressive. The 450 is so linear and so easy to ride. I will never go back to the 350
Whats the horse power gains of the Twisted Development's Enginne work the ktm 350 has the same amount of power as the honda why would Pat foster feel not easy up against the 450 might not get the best start But even the best pro's can not hold onto a 450 thats why they roll & coast to save energy no dissadvantage with the 350
Turned off as soon as they ditched the AER fork… I run 15MY cones on one 300 and 23MY AER on another. I like both for different reasons. Would rather see an objective overview of the 24MY SX and AER performance. Apologies if I’ve missed it, just saw what’s in the feed. 🙃

Great idea. I can tell you from lap times at the races, though, that I am a couple of seconds quicker on this than the YZ450F at most tracks...
If Yamaha made a 350 enduro bike, it would be their biggest selling offroad bike in the world !!!
As a long time 350 rider, I can definitively say…once you get a 350 you won’t go back. Go ahead and get this bike. It’s fantastic
coming from a 19 250sx, want to make the switch. What year should i get?

Love the Yoshi exhaust looks good
I'm in the market and I think I found my xmas project. Thanks for the video.
I've been eyeing a 350 for a bit now.
Get it. The 350 rocks. I came off a Yamaha 450 for it.
@@MotoMatt418 thanks for the feedback.
This makes me want to get ride of my ‘22 450 for a ‘24 350 😅
Definitely wouldn’t be disappointed
I went from a ‘21 450 to a ‘22 350 (same frame/chassis) and I absolutely love everything about the 350

Might as well get a new yz450f and detune as needed if you need more performance and spring forks imho.
would love to hear your thoughts on this bike compared to the new 2024 spring fork 350 xcf off road model

The 450 is so linear and so easy to ride. I will never go back to the 350
ride the new generation and you'll change your mind. it's a lot different. i have a remapped vortex and it's just as fast as a stock ktm 450
This is the bike I’m looking at as we speak! Donn, being a friend of Frappy Mike do you have any hook up’s? 😂

Just need some Motion Footpegs to finish that build off;)

Great bikes, shite sounds. D'oh! I'll take the YAT of my 200 & 300 SX's...No Choice
That YOSH sound like crap
if japanese made them they would sell every last one.......
My 2024 airfork is better then my 2020 yz250f kyb I don't know why people even mention air Forks they're basically the same and easier to set up
The most expensive bikes on the market for no other reason than greed. I will never buy a KTM
lol not at all factual. You don’t have to buy one, but look at one close up in person. The fit and finish may surprise you..
