[Ged93]

Dirtbike riders here ?

[KTMart]

Yes, something you are interested in?

 

[Ged93]

No , I'm just curious .
KTMart , so you own a ... ktm ??

 

[KTMart]

Bit of a give away isn't, yes a 300 tpi at the moment, cracking bit of kit!

 

[Memmeddu]

Always wanted one never bought because I like speed and I'm pretty sure I would kill myself
Ideally a small KTM or an Honda CR 125 ,but in any case 2 strokes engine .
Almost bought a quad one time , recently too.

Had a 500 Rotax KTM many moons ago, spiteful thing. Never did get on with a left hand kickstart that fouled the foot pegs.

I'll have nothing bad said about a rotax. I like a left hand kicker

Sussed it in the end by using the window on the end of the cam to determine where the piston was, it did go well (understatement)

I replaced my ktm 250tpi with this 250 Excf last year. I have only ridden it once because I’ve been busy. Was going to ride yesterday but hurt my ribs on Friday

 

[Tinbasherdan]

Did a bit on a 250 exc, which I loved, a 250 sxf, which I despised with a passion, and a husaberg 500, which tried to kill me at every available opportunity

Ha ! My dad rides a GASGAS 300 tpi , he loves it . I ride a Beta 300 racing edition , but from the moment I tried the gasser my bike feels like a stupid toy , I'm considering a tpi kato or maybe a next gen bike this year ( 300 TBI ) .
We'll see .. .

Why did you move from a tpi to a 4 stroke ? Problems ? Not a good feeling with the bike ?

Trf ? Is the red gasser in the picture yours ?




Talking about dirtbikes , I follow some english hard enduro riders on Youtube ( Billy Bolt , Graham Jarvis , Jonny Walker , David Knight ... ) and some other channels ( MidWest Mx , Steve Beddows , and others ) .
I don't know how the hell you can ride on that terrain ( I mean , the british terrain ) , my goodness is always muddy and damn slippery , personally I would be on the ground most of the time .. .
Waaaaay different here in Italy .

I just fancied a 4 stroke. I have been riding two strokes for years so I wanted a change. I love a 250f but the last time I owned one was 10years ago. Every time I get a ride on one it made me want to make the switch again.

Raced MX in AMCA seniors for 15 years.
The last few years on a yz250f that was bored and stroked out to 302cc.
