1998 KTM 250SX Classic Motocross Review

[@larryfeasel2403]

KTM has been dominating since the 80's. I bought my first in 88 because I was tired of losing to them. Always had a podium after that

[@Rj-jm8vm]

You're not kidding about the headshake . I had one of these . The best way I can describe it is violent , and you couldn't tune it out with sag or anything . I sold the bike with deceleration headshake being the primary reason for doing so .

[@raoulduke3770]

The KTM 350 ad at around 5:33 is awesome, I remember that.

After 19 years retirement from MX, I brought home a two owner 1998 KTM 250 today and am getting into Vintage MX here in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺Love your channel and your videos. Keep up the good work 👍

[@mattfeltus9046]

May not have been the Motocross bike the US were after but the 1998 enduro model was the 1998 World Enduro Championship winner. I've got an Australian Delivered 1998 EGS 250 and still runs like a dream.

*KTM is where it is at and they OWN the OFFROAD and developing 2 strokes only manufacturers EURO and WP Suspension*

[@cashtondiabo6050]

Great video would like to see more ktm videos

[@joshuaodom5937]

Would love to see a ktm380 review

[@Gasrullen]

Do one about 380. Had a 00 or 01. What a beast it was..

[@TheMotocrossVault]

I will in the future. I've never ridden one of the 380s but my best friend had a 1997 360SX and that thing terrified me

[@stevestiffler9120]

I knew a guy named Carlos who had that 97 360sx. He pulled stumps out of the ground with that bike. The bike was good if you ran out of firewood

[@bradyjohnson7877]

I have this things mini me lol. The 98" 65sx. Was the first year ktm actually had made the 65s im pretty sure. Sick little bikes. Nice video👌

[@ronaldtravis970]

Your merchandise is killer ! Great selection of classics ! Shout out to Todd Dhoop !! Two strokes for life !

[@TheMotocrossVault]

Thank you!

[@whodeany99]

My best mate had one of these, and I remember it having plenty of power but everything felt stiff and hard and it had a ringing vibration. The thing was so rigid.

[@6pup]

Great vid as expected, Tony. Made my morning

[@TheMotocrossVault]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@davebowers1498]

Cool video man. Thanks and keep them coming!

[@TheMotocrossVault]

Thanks, will do!

[@henripuustinen4642]

Great video as always. I remember reading somewhere that KTM wanted Ohlins to produce the PDS shock for 1998 but they declined. KTM instead turned to WP but Ohlins wouldn't give KTM/WP the permission to produce the shock according to the original patent (which was British if I recall correctly). Therefore WP made a somewhat different design. I'm just going by memory here so I could be wrong. Didn't the Cannondale have a similar setup but made by Ohlins? Speaking of which, the Cannondale bikes would be great to see a video on.

[@TheMotocrossVault]

I am working on a Cannondale review right now

[@motofarmmx2430]

@@TheMotocrossVault do one on the cannondale quads too

[@carlosspicyweiner7865]

Did you mention that kickstand?!? 😂

[@TheMotocrossVault]

Kicks stands are handy, I always loved having them for off-road use

[@carlosspicyweiner7865]

The Motocross Vault they’re handy off-road but I never see them on big mx bikes

[@chuckylohman3717]

What about doing a history of tm racing or something like that

[@smellslike1477]

Excellent channel. Been enjoying a lot of your videos. Mainly atc Subscribed and 👍

[@TheMotocrossVault]

Awesome, thank you!

[@happyg.444]

I owned a 96' 250EXC. Didn't KTM stand for Katoom? Been many many years. I grew up with Pentons and Rickmans. Can you do a vid on my 99' YZ250? the 1st year they used the new motor.

[@dannyleon6215]

Wish I would have never sold my 98 125, worst way I ever made $1300

[@tyson8580]

kx85????

[@TheMotocrossVault]

I will be doing a history of the KX80/KX85 in the future for sure

[@tyson8580]

The Motocross Vault thanks can’t wait

[@mareksumguy1887]

Let’s not beat around the bush; it was the worst bike of the lot!

[@mareksumguy1887]

They put a hydraulic clutch on the *125* ... but not the *250* !? 🤣 That has GOT to be the most retarded decision any company has EVER made.
