[@Aint1S]

I think this new bike looks incredibly clean... just looks right and not overly complicated in the looks.

[@RichardAristarchovas]

starts at 0:45

[@julianwilson5174]

KTM blew it, the 200 was the coolest bike eve to ride

[@Grovesq0]

julian wilson true, I've put 122 on my 200

[@julianwilson5174]

I dont know how many hours i have on my 200, the speedo decided to stop being waterproof at 53 hours. All i know is that its a lot of hours

[@erniea1175]

Dude, try the 150 for a few hours! I rode mine at some of the roughest and steepest single track in this region yesterday and everybody there was blown away at how well it pulled insanely steep and difficult hills. As I said on my post, it just pulls and pulls, even when I was sure it wouldn't. Doesn't require a lot of clutch and revving either, like my '13 150 would have. I was even able to start from a stop on the face of a couple hills and just pulled right up. And it's so light, well balanced, and easy to handle it makes the 200 chasis feel outdated. I totally understand people's reaction to the 200 being dropped, it was an awesome bike, but after yesterday's ride I don't miss them a bit!

[@julianwilson5174]

Yeah true i have never ridden one before. My 2012 200 xcw doesn't have an electric start, headliight or anything so its the lightest thing ever with good power. 90kgs. I listen to the videos on this bike and it sound like a 125 motorcross bike, not really an enduro bike. I wonder if 200s will get really expensive because they dont make them anymore...

[@keenansmith6163]

I've put over 200 on my 200 and I'm extremely happy. Still haven't done a top end, compression is perfect!

[@teddyf9438]

You guys have a shark fin but not a skid plate... cmon, I'd rather replace a brake rotor than an engine.

[@danialdunson]

Teddy yeah it's hard to damage cases

[@jerrensmith5268]

No its not... WTF.

[@mitts8755]

danial dunson

[@waynes.2983]

Teddy F skid plates are almost never actually necessary. Btw, cracked cases can usually be repaired, no need to replace.

[@Hot_Brass_Media]

you guys should do a bike build with this bike

[@Henry-zz9fd]

I love the stranger things style intro xD

[@DanNZ69]

Good step up from a 85

[@JohnDoe-zc3fg]

You just recounted the specs that anybody can look up online. How about personal impression and thoughts?

[@Jimmy_Watt]

Thats pretty much what they're known for.

[@nathanparris32]

You guys need to do a head to head with the YZ 250 FX. if I was buying that would be the 2 bikes it would be between.

[@drozo-privatematch4710]

i am 5’3 and 90 pounds, could i handle this bike?

[@sonoma314]

If there is a 200 jug made for these at some point, like the 300 jug for 250's, it might be better than the old 200 xc-w. Take the starter and battery off and it's 190lbs

[@erniea1175]

Don't need it, don't want it. The 150 is already faster than the old 200's, and power delivery is perfect in super technical gnarly mountain single track.

[@wademontague7358]

review starts after 1 minute of adds n pop ups. 1.00 minutes for review

[@Jordancapz]

I'm wondering more how this bike is standing than anything else

[@erniea1175]

At 5'10" it feels great! As I said in my review, it's the best KTM to date for me. I've always had to force myself to stand, but on this bike I find myself standing naturally without even thinking about it. Have a riding buddy who is probably around 6'2" and he's not so crazy about it. Said he would have to get used to it, and may want to change some things, but never said what.

[@gregoryvierra6114]

I think he meant how is the bike standing on those rocks but I could be wrong...

[@HeddleTown]

Nice video and bike.. 🎥👍

[@MyersJ2Original]

how the hell can a W NOT come with a spark arrest?

[@utahdesertrider1806]

John Myers I ha my heard of any bike coming with a spark arrester. I paid 10k for my bike and made them throw in a fmf forest tip. It is stupid for sure and no skid plate. I’d still buy it for fun tho

[@alexandergranat9616]

That's exactly what I was wondering, it is somewhat understandable on an sx, but all of their other bikes should have spark arrestors

[@queenzhou2979]

May I know how much is this bike?

[@AdamBatchelder]

Lucky there are a few 16 200 s left

[@senilefoolidge2777]

how much does this bike cost? damn i want this so bad.

[@4xhilo381]

Price?

[@benparres1741]

I want this bike so bad

[@wiciaxp]

you have it?

[@benparres1741]

@@wiciaxp no

[@adrianmoratalla]

Nice

[@chriscardoza9714]

l would just put a fiy wheel Wight on it..

[@JacobNykiel]

What's the intro song?!

[@nickojapones4210]

How much??meron naba nito sa philippine??

[@338ms]

I wonder if KTM will make a 200 kit for this thing

[@gonyg5316]

To drozo perfect match. Simple answer is no. Your just not tall enough. Sure you could ride it of a milk crate but you don’t have the height or the weight to tame this beast. Better on an 85sx for you.

[@bradleymacklin7896]

hey, im 15, 5 foot 10 and 200lbs. im debating weather i should get a 150 or 250

[@erniea1175]

You might want to read jpelaston's post on Thumpertalk. Bought the 250 for himself and the 150 for his wife. But then road her totally stock 150 to an A-class win at the Muddobber Enduro and says now he would buy 2 150's if he could go back and do it over again. Said the 250 is a great bike, but not even close to the fun he has on the 150. He's well over 200lbs, think he said around 220.

[@bradleymacklin7896]

Ernie Allen will do, thanks for the reply

[@Jagi603]

Never really heard about or seen a 150 exc ktm

[@markpiquero1515]

How much would be this at peso?

[@fatimadejesus1433]

Is this street legal tho

[@g.p.caines4347]

[@mrsimpleesarcastik3494]

[@notfish9445]

Anyone crf150

[@roostafish961]

dumb dank you could handle it I’m sure, but it will be very tall for you. My son is 5’8” 115lbs. It’s a little tall for him unless we are in easy terrain.
