[@wranglerstar]

This was the best video I have seen in weeks. I watched it three times,

[@Rational_Party]

Wranglerstar is commenting on eveRide vids... My two fav channels!!!

[@HankeyMountainGarage]

Wranglerstar has caught the bug of dual sport!

[@eveRide]

Thanks that means a lot! :D

[@johnkiy]

EveRide’s fe 350 six days pushed me over the edge and got one. I love it and never looked back.

[@utdesertghost199]

So here's the funny thing for me. I sold my 96 DR350 and bought a brand new 2016 Beta 300RR Race edition, which you rode. And although I totally love my Beta, I'm heartbroken that I sold my DR. Why?, not sure, I guess the sentimental value I have for it. It's what got me back into riding, it's how I learned to work on a bike...All I can liken it to is your first true love, once you've had it and it's gone you miss it. Even though you may have a much better replacement, you always find you have a place in your heart for it. Thanks for the video Tyler, hope you have a great time with the fam and make some awesome memories. Oh and by the way, Katsumi aint no slouch either, she gets after it, and so do you when your on her.

[@Zeus33rd]

I LOVE the editing and commentary! Awesome video!

[@ironridgeoutdoors]

Love your videos, thanks for taking the time.

[@jimperry4420]

If you’re a slow rider, I would hate to know what my lack of speed is.

[@ryanrgarman]

Fantastic footage. Fantastic writing. Some fun data inserted into the information just enough to make it interesting but not boring. Keep on making awesome videos!

[@XXXDeadhead]

Badass vid bud - The 6 days is epic for sure! Great song/theme/contrast!

[@williammacpherson4004]

I made the leap from my first dual sport mint 2002 DRZ400 to a 2012 KTM300xc 2 stroke(in top shape with a few great upgrades). Only cost me 1300 dollars extra after selling the DRZ. KTM motto "Ready to Race" .... they are! And so easy to work on for KZbin mechanics. Also moved my 12 yr old up from his trustwothy Honda CRF 80 to a KTM105sx 2 stroke. I cannot lose him on the trails now. And picking up a 2 stroke KTM off of yourself in the bush half way up a hill....is wayyy easier than crawling out from that DRZ pound for pound and pushing lower intestines out your nether region while trying to get her up ;)

[@cubkuker]

This video is everything I want in a review. Literally helped me a ton!

[@TheAverageUSGamer]

Great video! Being the owner of an 09 KLX250s I cant help but drool over the more expensive bikes...this video helped ease my desire. Thank you!

[@allaboutdiy1375]

I’m essentially “restoring” my 2002 Xr650r, and while I have been in the thick of it, I found your channel and have probably been spending too much time watching and not enough time wrenching. But, while doing all of that I have convinced my brother to buy a DRZ 400 so we can ride when I’m finished. I owe you a thank you for getting me to bug him enough to get a bike and enjoy the outdoors on 2 wheels. Thank you man! Keep up the good, and inspirational work! Cheers from California

[@noyopacific]

Tyler has transmitted that bug to a whole lot of us! He is kinda like a disease vector for a viral infection. Fortunately the disease doesn't have side effects that are disabling, provided that you always wear protection.

[@drett3013]

Led Zeppelin and duel sports, freaking awesome dude!

[@theimaginarygarage]

Brilliant! That felt like a very honest review of how tempting it can be. Whatever the bike enjoy the ride!

[@Mike_Wrecker]

What an excellent down to earth comparison! Always quality coming from quality channel! It's nice to hear your opinions on a new enduro machine.

[@orangelion03]

Your photography and editing get better and better! I own a 93 XRL, a 04 955 Speed Triple, and a 06 R1200GS. I never test ride or borrow friend's newer bikes =D

[@ianferrier235]

Awesome video as usual !!!

[@alanwmg]

I Love you guy, great videos as always.

[@DMAC7291]

WOW, great video....well done! Keep them coming please :)

[@osimnod]

Always a treat to see your latest posting and reviewing a newer rig keeps your perspective fresh, even if you decide to not squander your children's college fund for your riding pleasure. Then again, they could attend a trade school...

[@ericc90]

You’re videos are the best and you tell it how it is with great music and comedy! Wish I would’ve known about you a long time ago but I’m subscribed now 👍. Keep making those videos and I’ll keep watching.

[@offroadtrailrider77]

I bit the bullet and sold both of my WR250Rs and got 3 KTM Thor xcfw’s (500 and 350). Best decision I made. Stone reliable and ready to super moto, trail ride, mountain exploration, or enduro racing. If I want a long ds ride I hop on the 1090r. Lots of orange n the garage. I smile so much while riding I never feel dirty. Getchasum.

[@RidingJapan]

ktm trailrider bought a used ktm exc f 350. never successfully kick started it. run the battery empty without start several times. had it serviced etc. now again bleeding oil out of the exhaust. really sad, and about to lose confidence in the brand

[@offroadtrailrider77]

Riding Japan bummer. Got my 2012 350 exc-f with 60 hrs on it very cheap. Just added a new lithium battery and some nitro mousse for the wheels. Raced it in a Lubbock enduro with no issues. Amazing machine. So far extremely reliable. About 120 hrs on it now and starts with no problems. Hope u can figure out ur issues. Will get another 350 again n a few yrs. Uber Cheater bike.

[@beardedrancher]

I love videos like this!

[@paulschonschack3051]

Another top notch video and commentary. I know I'll probably never own a pricey fire breather, but at 56 years old my low priced bikes pack enough adrenaline for me.

[@jered2177]

Good job as always

[@bradstoybox8811]

Great video Tyler! Sometimes it's just better to not sample the forbidden fruit eh, especially when it's so darn expensive. It's also cool when I recognize a berm or hill and can say, "hey I rode that, just a little slower".

[@SkeletonManlover125]

Damnit now I reallllyyyy want one

[@scottydouglass1892]

awesome drone footage.. great video

[@hardtrance9]

Thank you, finally a nicer review of the Six Days 350 version... with good drone takes, good comments, etc... would have been ever nicer to get more comparison comments from you @eveRide ;-) just to know things about how you felt the throttle response, suspension settings, how did you feel turning on and off the traction control, how was the headlight (high and low) ilummination at night, etc. Thanks again, there almost not videos about the Six Days versions..

[@MrAusadventure]

Oh man. This is why I am scared to ride a later model V-Strom and compare it to the 10 year old one that I currently own. Nice job on the singing! It took me the entire video to realise that it was you singing! And those guys that performed the song with no lyrics! Wow! Nailed it!

[@TheHappyHermit]

Fantastic job with this video. Subsided for sure!

[@waspmeat]

Old vs New, this spoke to me! Thank you - Black Dog out

[@lostman65]

beautiful video eveRide! i bit the bullet and bought a new smaller dual sport last year... now i am doing more and more challenging trails and keep thinking... maybe i should get a full on dirt bike.

[@benstv42069]

Very well done!

[@jonoj7666]

Love this channel so good 😅👌🏻👍

[@WADZUP]

Sweet project. Nice video T

[@BushPigADV]

I missed you man. I haven't been around for a while. I can't say this was the video to come back to because now I want to spend money. haha. Nice to see you again.

[@Thud_jack]

Being in the midwest there is nowhere around where I live to ride those type of bikes. I really wish I could. Good vid!

[@gime3steps]

Great vid 🤘🏻

[@p.t.anderson1593]

Sometimes... you really do get what you paid, out the wazoo, for... Thanks so much for another awesome video. Even though it was effectively the same rehashed conversation that I have with my friends about old but modified VS new but expensive it's somehow comforting to know that pretty much everyone goes down that trail, has that discussion...

[@TimberMoto]

Great video! I've dreamed about bike like that KTM, but it never has been in my budget and likely never will be. I flogged a 1989 Yz250 in the Vegas desert in the early 2000's and had a blast. It was certainly not high performance, but it did the job and didn't complain. My next bike will be a new DR650 and I'll be plenty happy with 20+ year old tech after some standard mods.

[@dirtniron]

it was pleasure to watch, nicely done! I also lean more towards older bikes, you can find good older bike give it some love and have yourself very competitive machine, cant even describe the joy and satisfaction you get once the bike runs like a champ. Although.. that ktm is great too, I have been looking at those 2016 6days for some time now, specially because they come in my country colors ;)

[@shlongdonger2887]

Which country colors are you speaking of?

[@dirtniron]

Slovakia of course!

[@shlongdonger2887]

I do like the Slovakia colors! I’m from Italy but I just don’t like their 6 day graphics as much

[@thambu19]

The best two channels I love together :)

[@minitwatch]

I would love to have a KTM FreeRide. The Electric version! I could sure tear some crap up at night around here :p Excellent vidgeo, broseph!

[@crisg.5766]

Epic vid! Your narration.. knocked it out of the park. Lmao.

[@Nerb1]

Haha, good fun to watch... the grass is always greener! We just need the self control. Sounds like you have it... just!

[@misty671]

Great filming and nice commentary. I say think hard and choose wisely, occasionally you gotta splurge but usually making do makes more sense.

[@weasymd]

Great video! I ride KTM and have had a few other bikes prior to my 500 exc. I'm far from an expert rider, but the biggest difference I've noticed is technical uphill stuff is a lot easier for me. The bike really likes to stick to some pretty root filled rocky hill climbs like no other. It's also a bit easier (lighter) to pick up, which can add up on a long day or weekend for an old fart like myself. Their power can be unforgiving though as I found out the hard way. I still love it though, and I really do think it makes a difference in my riding capabilities for the type of stuff I ride.

[@Eric.Hansel]

Dam you temptress! Nice Video sir.

[@MadOgre]

I had a KTM 525 MXC. And yes it was good. It was very good. But sold it off, and while I do miss it at times... I am glad I sold it. Okay... I'd have it back in a heartbeat. *sigh* Yeah.

[@happydude4202]

Great vid 👍🏻

[@captainbarnicle8548]

Great video. Absolutely loved it! When I saw the 6 Days 300 TPI, I fell in love. Had to have it. Yep, a lot of money, but to me it's a poor mans Ferrari and being smack bang in the middle of a mid life crisis, nothing was going to stop me getting it LOL.

[@trashbarn]

I know this video was 4 years ago... but whats your thoughts with the klx 300r? Thanks for all your videos

[@cryptotron]

Great video 😁😁😁

[@greenskeeper1840]

Cool vid man.....Led Zep can make anyone want a KTM.

[@johnnywishbone932]

I just spent 8 hours on my 2001 XT 350. I love that old bike.

[@Monjar3]

I've owned and ridden a lot of dual sports and then I road a CRF450L and bought one the next day. Yes I'll have to replace the piston and crank every few years because I ride a lot but it's worth it to me. The bike gives me that Thor feeling every time I get on it. I was riding faster than I've ever been able to push a dual sport and comfortably. I lowered the dampening a little and its smooth as butter while still not bottoming on anything I threw at it.

[@iridemanila]

great drone shot and great editing great review very different from other channel! new here ;)

[@ridebecauseucan1944]

New bikes really are that much better. I think you should give yourself more credit as a rider. You are fast and ride places some would just turn around because of the obstacles. I think your skill level has passed the bikes you usually ride but they are still awesome fun. Good to see you ripping it up and making awesome vids that show how much fun dual sports are.

[@jackal3911]

hey man love what you are doing with your Channel. I am about to start my own with a street ride version of cruising through mountains and such. any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@ridingdeep8530]

Fun video T-Rizzle, you are now totes on-flicke! Wait a second...I ride a 350XC-F... Although I bought a 2011 model that only cost $4,000. Love my little orange beastie.

[@EachAdventure]

Wow! This totally was NOT what I expected... I love the viewpoints and how you look at it from a logical perspective though. 8K is a ton of money, and I 100% agree that most riders will probably never use a bike to its full potential unless their paycheck depends on it. That said, the last time I rode my friends Beta 500 RR-S I had a freaking blast... so MAYBE one day that 8K difference might be worth it. For now... the DRZ does everything I need and then some :)

[@DRZcoffeegirlRide]

Hahaha sweet video. I've been on that bike and even though it's a really sweet ride I'd still stick with my DRZ. I'm more for comfort and exploring. Not to say if some guy said hey take my KTM out for a spin I'd definitely do it again. 😂

[@tieoneon1614]

After starting with new EFI bikes and liking them...the more experience I got and better with a wrench on bikes I came to like carburators more. Iv had race bikes, but my '18 KLX250 Camo is my all time favorite bike. But, my skills past it fast. I just got done with an awesome KDX 200 for single track and now starting a '05 KLX 250 cuz its same chassis/motor as my '18 for my dual sport/explorer bike. I will have about $7k into both total, completely restored with mods.

[@Clickmaster5k]

I'm not near the hill but I still like your vids.

[@d_ressu]

Great video. Been enjoying your content quite a bit. Keep it up. Here are my 2 cents: The thing is you are comparing a old and used bike (which you then alter) to a new machine off the showroom floor. You can get a used XCF-W for quite a bit cheaper. And it won't be 8k difference.

[@TheYotamaster]

Comedy I ride a WR250R, last time we were out my buddy says take my 2018 KTM EXC 500 for a spin. Well I broke my own rule, if I ride it I'll want one. I was floored by that bike, OMG what if have been missing incredible. Well I compromised picked up a 08 WR450R for a couple grand got it running had all the mods done to it already, happy camper 👍. Keep up the good work!

[@SawyerKnight]

I was the same way... then I rode a KTM 500. like you said, it awoke something within me. All I kept thinking during and for days after was; "I've never felt power like this before..."

[@franciscoshi1968]

I ride a (heavily) modified (efi, trick suspension, modified linkage and flat seat) 1994 KLX 300 and ride with people on 450s of all brands and have no trouble keeping up with them until it gets to the open stuff. I have ridden a ktm 350 and wr450 and apart from more power I didn't think they were better enough for the extra cost. I do like the electric start thou.

[@darylhagle8565]

It’s what happens when you drink the kool aid, you instantly realize everything is inferior to the orange bikes ..

[@ferkuzuel]

Maybe one day a hard to pass deal comes to you on a used KTM , and then there would be another great video as usual Cheers !

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Amazing footage and a great video man... you think just riding it like THAT was enough to break you? Ride one with the suspension set up specifically for you. Now that my six days (2 stroke version of course) is set up exactly for ME in ergonomics, suspension and power delivery... riding ANYTHING else, even another 6 days, feels like throwing my leg over a steaming turd with a motor.

[@wobblysauce]

So how is the Harley? I would think the Chopped H2 would feel like that.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

I dont own a harley...

[@simonheller5657]

When I saw the title of the video I immediately thought "man, is this the everide and shadetree collab I've been dreaming of?" I'm a bit disappointed that it's not (yet?), but not really coz it's still awesome

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Simon Heller I’m gonna make it out to stay at the Moto mansion one day man!

[@simonheller5657]

One day! In the meantime, stay safe! And thanks for the content

[@imridingwithstoopidohwaiti3948]

what kit did you use for the 351 klx? I just bought one for my girl. and it will be great to learn on it rides so nice but will need more power.

[@longranger5226]

That EXC-W is an awesome race bike! As such, it is designed and built to ride fast, which is what you were doing in much of the vid. The one thing it doesn’t do quite as well is “slow”.

[@Yortwash]

Riding my buddies 2018 KTM 500exc has giving me the same feeling as you.....but yeah, $8,000! Sticking with my 2000 XR 650l! Braap!!!

[@ebmstudios]

Please see if you can find an alta dealer near you! I'd love to hear your thoughts on those bikes!

[@TeamStruggleBunny]

Bikes are luxuries not matter how you rationalize the cost. Luxury is about how it makes you feel and that while feeling can be a grand sliding scale performance isn't quite as broad. So go with what spins your spurs and what you can afford, because luxury that get repo'd ain't going to make you feel good lol. Love the vid!

[@jimbaroch8871]

The KLX 351 is a sleeve and bore job. It is NOT stroked. I put the same kit on my HEAVILY modified 1996 KLX250R. This is Bill Blue 351cc kit from "B&B Cycle Restorations". I ported and polished the head, put on a Stroker rear shock and KX250 forks and triple trees, with a billet Pro Taper one on top. a Mikuni pumper carb and FMF exhaust. I have a set of Web cams not installed yet. I also have a stroked crankshaft I'm working on which with the bore kit will make a 385cc. I machined a spacer to go under the cylinder to make room for the extra stroke. I haven't tried this yet, don't know if the timing chain is long enough or what other problems I will run into. The other option is to have a piston made with a shorter compression height.

[@americanprepper6401]

Awesome!

[@brianward1549]

You crack me up. I am almost 50 and I want to feel like THOR kicking ass to the immigrant song. But it will be on a new Beta. Good vid

[@nbgaf1040]

I wish they made dualsports with the klx style headlight...it just looks so right

[@cptnrighteous32]

I thought the extra coin was worth it. Sold my CRF250L and bought a '16 350 EXC-F and I absolutely love it.

[@dropsofink1336]

🤣😂🤪🦾👍😎great video!

[@BB-hi5of]

Is there much difference in the klx 300's? I have been debating on picking one up

[@justinfontaine5539]

Where is this filmed? Utah somewhere? I have the 2014 Husaberg FE 350 which is set up just like the KTM Six days. Awesome bike. Just does many things well except go down the highway at 70mph.

[@luckylarry9514]

The older you get the more you regret not spending money when you could. Got a 2018 Yamaha XT250 for $125 a month. In 5 years when I'm 67 it will be paid off. Then I can resell it as a vintage classic and buy another new one. Great video shots by the way.

[@itsthebike6672]

Many of us can't afford the BMW, Mercedes, Diesel dual rear wheel pickup truck, Aston Martin, Ducati, etc.... But KTM/Husqvarna can give you that luxury/premo experience on dirt bikes regardless of your income bracket. This is a turn key premium bike that anyone of any skill level can appreciate. That Kailub Russell guy does OK on it against 450s too.

[@MIKEMOSSGONNAFLOSS]

Travis you forgot to mention the weight difference, my 01' DRZ alot of Lbs, my 15' Husqvarna 245lbs

[@Dowent]

This feeling rarely lasts. I've never ridden a motorcycle where just riding it became boring and repetitive and it had to be either the destination, great track or interesting riding area that had to help with the appeal. Some of my friends just combat this by getting new bike 2-3 times per year and yes, if you can afford that, you will still keep the fresh feeling and excitement, but I've actually come to quite enjoy the fact that my bikes are just a tools for specific jobs and it's the things I can do with them that bring the appeal.

[@mrDonkish]

well written my good man!

[@hrbestalkinme3690]

Do two fast laps on each bike. Whats the lap time difference?

[@Rational_Party]

Great comparison Thorler... FWIW, I ride a DS'd XR400. It ALWAYS gets me there. It ALWAYS gets me back. But it's heavy, and kinda piggy, and I keep dreaming of a newer, lighter bike, with a Magic Button... After much searching, I have come to the conclusion that the only acceptable replacement would be a Beta 390 RR-S... But my XR is worth about $2K, whiile a Beta will cost me about $10k. Perhaps in 10 years, my Beta and your Six Days will be affordable to us mere mortals, and then we shall be gods!!

[@jayoutside6087]

Being middle aged, I'd take the old klx any day. With the mods and some TLC you will never have the electronic issues of the KTM and you'll have a very reliable bike. Just my opinion.

[@MIKEMOSSGONNAFLOSS]

OH IT'S WORTH IT! GOT MINE FOR 7K WITH FMF FULL POWER BOMB.. TRUE ENDURO BALLIN

[@JELLYMOTONZ]

wow man you have some awesome places to ride.. ;-)

[@grantgiesking8301]

what is that headlight on the KLX? I can't figure out what it's called.

[@ryunruly1227]

"If you wondering if your mid-life crisis would be best sated by a fire breathing KTM?". The answer is.....heck to the yeah!!

[@IslandboyWes]

I did it when i bought my 2019 KTM 300 haha thing is a beast and i almost killed myself. But i still love it

[@salami99]

either that or a harley, you know which most americans choose?

[@jaetheo]

Fantastic video! Now what to do...?

[@Markdmarque]

Love my Klx and think it is such a strong dependable bike.Proven as the best in its class

[@themotofixery]

I've owned 3 ktm's purchased brand new and loved all of them! Pretty much can't stand working on anything else.

[@srhintz]

I know what you mean, that's a lot of Duckets for a dirt bike but those KTMs are like a Ferrari in the car world. Delicious. That said, That is one sweet old Kaw! I like something that I'm not afraid to bash and can actually afford to fix.

[@armweak13]

Nice music!! 👍👍
