What you think about AJP?
Which one is best on gas over all? From those 5
Yes on the 390 Beta….THE ktm killer
If you liked the 300 check out tm dirt bikes
Love this channel. Absolutely the best for dirt bikes.
id maybe own a four-stroke if they didnt cost more than a comparable two-stroke and if I could rebuild them myself for the same amount a two-stroke costs.
nice to see some 4T content . Thanks – Love you to check out the 2020 FX – heard its only 14lbs more heavier than the 250x !
Hi Kyle, I´m from Mexico and I´m 37 years old. I want to buy my first Dirty Bike 4 stroke, but I don´t know what to buy. Can you update this video with 2020, 2021 and 2022 bikes? Thanks men!
true but im thirteen and i want a trail bike but this just cost more than 5 grand its crazy
Which one out of these has the easiest, cheapest maintenance? I have working on my stuff. I’d like to get the Yamaha but I think a 350 would be better for my size. Tons of hills where I live too. I’m 6’1 225 lbs.
Ktm 525 end of conversation
I’m gonna be honest I’m 11 and just like to hear him talk about stuff I have no idea what he’s saying
09 ktm 400 xcw is sick , best bike i have ever had more than enough power and 6 gears !
Hi.What do you guys think about the KTM 350 SX-F?I live in Germany and I hardly can find a xc-w/xc-f.But SX-F,they are a lot here.Thanks!
If you prefer the Beta 390 because it’s smooth then it sounds like you need to try a KTM 250 and 350 XCF-W’s instead of the XCF models. The W’s are made for single track riding and the XCF’s are for more open GNCC type riding and not really for single track.
KTM 450 sx!!!!
If this man pants with those biceps when doing enduro I think I would die😂
If you had to pick one bike – which one would you suggest the best option for a beginner trail rider ( not motocross ) all single track Rocky, hills, dirt, and mud?? As im looking to purchase newer bike.
What would be my best choice for my first dirt bike?? Anyone? I am 18 and am just getting into dirt bikes! I don’t have a bike yet but I am looking!!
What about the old air cooled beasts? No radiators to puncture in a crash, easy, low maintenance and super reliable all around. Not super powerful like a racing bike, but who needs wicked power for trails? I love my TTR230 for single track and off road in general. I rarely get out of 3rd gear so guess big power just doesn’t appeal to me much.
Just bought a 2022 Beta 390 RRS. Just saw this. I agree, suspension right out of the box is awesome! Plus, it comes with skid plate, good tires, and GPS. Awesome motor too!
The only time I rode one of these bikes, I hit a wallaby 5 minutes after getting on the 390 and basically whisky throttled myself into orbit. It was a fantastic 5 minutes though!
honda 450rx?
The Ktm 500 or Husky 501 would be the only 2 4 strokes I would buy. They have way more grunt & can carry a lot extra weight. The 350 frankly was a let down power wise. I am curious if you have tried any of the Honda’s?
No mention of the kx 250x ?
Hey Kyle, magic erasers clean up the white plastics on the race edition bikes like new. Just fyi. Takes off all that crap on the air box cover where your boots rub.
Is that a steel frame??? (390)
I’m thinking about the 500 RRS For my first / off bike , being 6′-4" 225 lbs, what do you think? My friend rides a 300 2 stroke. He told me a 500 4 stroke would be great for me because of my height, his cousin rides one. Can’t wait to go look at one.
I ride my fc450 husky on all terrain types.. just change the clickers if I’m going in the mountains
I will never touch a four stroke again
3-strokes are favorite.
A great bike that alot of people sleep on is the kawasaki klx300r.. really nice trail bike
Any thoughts on beta 350 race?
I’m torn 390 or 350
I have a beta 200rr as my 2 stroke
2-smoke or 4-choke…just keep strokin! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7gMkiOPSeA
After two KTM dirt bikes I will never own another one. Something always needed fixing and waiting parts from 3 weeks to 3 months was was absolutely ridiculous.
i have a suzuki dr-z 125
My husaberg fe570 has closed cartridge forks I’m not a fan it’s very harsh on the body in slow rocky sections the open cartridges forks seem much softer an less stress on the arms
Do a review of the Honda crf 450 rx redmoto
Johnny sins lmao
Hey Kyle,
Good to hear your thoughts on the 4t bikes.
It’s time to re-visit the Sherco 300 SEF in the Factory version. 👍
Some important updates in 2019 and especially the KYB closed cartridge fork on the Factory model.
Also you mentioned you think they’re heavy, still.
Measured my own 2019 on accurate scales on day one, 104.9kg without fuel, ready to go.
Not bad
Would love to see an update after two more years of riding
Ive heard that all the beta 4 strokes are very jerky except for the 390 which is much smoother and more linear
I had the 2013 Beta RS520 (498) and it was the nicest dual sport bike I had ever ridden. Strong linear power band all the way up the rpm range. Nimble enough to ride tight trails yet awesome on a fire road at warp speeds. Predictable steering, suitable suspension and the smooth power made it a extremely versatile. No wonder Beta called it “The Playbike”. From SoCal sea level to the high mountain trails of Kennedy Meadows not a whimper from the naturally aspirated motor. Only the Big Red Pig is a better multipurpose unit in my opinion. However at 66 years old now I need the magic button of the newer bikes. I just picked up a Crf450L we’ll see how it does soon enough.
Best 4T I’ve ridden, Suzuki RMX450Z, brilliant! But not as good as my KTM 2T 300XC
Honda xr series in my opinion is the best line of 4 strokes ever produced. Not performance wise (granted they weren’t bad for the time) but all round honda just got it right.
Honda crf 250 and you don’t have to rebuild it every time you ride it and you can save the extra $5000 because you can’t run that fast in the deep woods.
Love it. The 2020 race editions just got announced this morning. I’ll likely go with 430 or 480
I’d love to see you get your hands on a wr250f (F!)
Don’t that not everybody watching is from America
Can you review the Kawasaki 300?
