Have ridden a mates 08 KTM300exc out on a trail ...personal didn't really get all the hype ....was 90% sure it would be my dream bike ...but price wise was out of the budget ...so ended up with a trail modded 07 RM250(FMF exhaust,FWW) ....completely changed my mind and absolutely love the RM (funny as I use to bag my mates that use to ride the RM-KX etc >> why I love the RM over the KTM300.... size side by side the bike don't look all that different in size ....but out on the trail the KTM felt like I was trying to ride a boat ...so much heavier feeling ...dead feeling steering ...power quite slow lackluster ....getting back on my RM you would swear it was a 125cc handling wise ,,,steering just incredibly nimble very fast ....power very strong from bottom to top very YZ250 like powerplant nothing like the older monocross snappy short powerbands ... Drag race the RM would put least a bike length to two till max out speed round 65-70mph where the KTM longer 5th would give it the higher top speed.. fuel use ....every ride the bigger tank KTM would run dry before the RM KTM300 weight add on 7kilos + the extra fuel (so round 10kilo at full tank heavier bike) hill climbing torque ....with a 13oz FWW the RM tractors with the best of them starting issues ....KTM ...Kick till monday Why o Why can't Suzuki fit an updated 08 RM250 motor in the latest RMZ .... increase the tank to 9-10lts lift the 4th -5th gear to give it 80mph top-end heavier crank,18 rear wheel and I'm sure they would sell like hot cakes and give the others in the off-road class a good kicking....2018 RMX250r ???
