I had many bikes over the years, but my most favorite bike, bike I had when I was teenager. Is 2001 CR 250. I found one few years ago, did full rebuild. Only thing is missing is E start, but not for long. When u get dirt bike u set up everything for ur ridding style, handlebars, suspension, tires. So it doesn’t matter what year ur bike is. New or old u will make some changes to bike. And when u been riding 25+ years u will have better list of favorite bikes. If u put all new dirt bikes on list, It’s not much of a list. More like a commercial for KTM and husky. Maybe u haven’t been riding for long time but most people will have this bikes on there list ‘01 CR 250, ‘07 YZ 250, KX450, ‘07 CRF450. This is just few. U should mix it up little, try some old school bikes, and see how they stand against new models and other brands.

I really enjoy your reviews and personal insight. Too bad you missed the real GasGas. You should pick up a Rieju to test. I have also found that some bikes that I would have thought to be terrible for my tight singletrack riding can surprise me and work far better than I expected. Case in point is I picked up a beta 520rr to dual sport, but it really works great in the tight trail. Try not to limit yourself to sizes you know.

[@toml7113]

That is what happened to me. I am 63 been riding since 10 had a Yamaha 125x, KTM 125xc,Sherco 250 factory, Beta 300r, ended up riding a Rieju 300 ranger. Did nothing to the bike and it is perfect. All others I had to gear down and try to find low end . Some had head shake at speeds Rieju is perfect and they come with a 2 year warranty witch not to many know.

All the people who always post the same question over and over "why don't you test this model or that model" , every bike he tests he buys with his own money, he has tested a bike or two that were on loan to him but that is not on a pick and choose basis, so paying for and having the time to test all the different models out there is not realistically obtainable, my point is why ask why.

Would you feel differently on a 2020 Husqvarna tx300i? I own this bike and to me it feels much more planted, forgiving, and compliant next to my buddies 2020 KTM 300XCs! It must be the composite subframe. I can't believe you haven't gotten into these... Thoughts?

[@richdouche8253]

I would buy the YZ over the others also. Probably the motocross version since the X isn't fully loaded and ready to go.... you still need to add parts. Every motorcycle or performance car I've ever bought needed tweaks. Change gearing, open exhaust to rev, close exhaust to grunt, etc etc. Always a trade off with bikes too. One has better forks, one has the better engine, better gearing, better clutch... We all have different body dimensions and attack styles. Bikes that fit him and his style might be only so-so bikes for me? But.... the YZ has an aluminum frame, and if I grenade the bottom end, I could actually find replacement cases at a reasonable price. Definitely less pricey than 4 stroke ownership. I guess to summarize what I'm saying.... a 200cc 2 stroke may not be "fun" for a 290lb rider that's 4 inches taller....... even if the bikes gearing and suspension is tailored for the guy. Like what YOU like! And enjoy.

And the suspension is surprisingly soft and comfortable for a relatively older bike

I've got an '01 kdx220r and set up properly it's been an extremely versatile bike. I've done every style of riding on it and it also seems like it'd be great for all skill levels. Suspension is a bit soft for MX but if you're clearing the jumps it's not as much of an issue I find.

Sure liked my 17 te250 with sx head/jd jet kit/ suspension revalved. That I put 200 hours on. MY 20 250xc-w is better now with TSP head/ecu reflash puts it on even another level higher. Stock suspension and handling are good also. I seem to like PDS rear suspension better also for traction it gets or feel off road.

On your #1 all time bikes, is that a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke? Don’t they make in both ? I have a 450 Kawasaki n did the same as u and went full boar. Not my first bike. Started w a 100 Yamaha when I was a small one. Mom said get your butt out there and DO it. :-) anyway, I’m liking your channel and was looking to go a little smaller with all the trails out here in Colorado. Thanks for your time! Great, informative channel

Woah back it up. The Golden era of dirt bikes is the 90s. Don't get it twisted, They pushed the Honda CRS so much, They have over 20 years of development for that bike. You have valid points but you need to understand honda had been developing the 2 strokes for a long time. Watch kapland America and you'll see!

I’m so torn between the YZ250X and FX but I think the FX won’t have enough power. What’s your thoughts? I’m 5.10 185lbs

I've ridden a 2020 250 XC with RK Tek head and it was a great bike. I just got a KTM 21' 250 SX in December and did a trail conversion on it including RK Tek head, 9 oz Steahly fly wheel weight & Smartcarb 2 and I'm certain it would be considered a much more fun ride than the XC by anyone who threw a leg over it. It's at least several pounds lighter (no TPI, e-start & wiring) and 21' AER forks seem absolutely perfect stock. The engine response and pull in mid range and top end would flat out embarrass any TPI along with much less complexity to have to worry about out on the trail. I think it would be a great bike to do a test on particularly a stock one vs. one set up like mine. It is absolutely the most fun and well running bike I've been on which includes a couple of your bikes mentioned in top 5. Don't take my word for it, buy one and do a conversion to see for yourself!

I love this sport,but my most important question is ,does the rider wear necessary protection in the pelvic guard?? Or is there any upgrade on that ., because I have seen fmx rider ,got hit in balls after a jump and landed wrongly!?????

Your top ten bikes of all time are just going to change every year with technology. My top ten bikes were all built in the 90s.

@Cristian Harper I have to pay for it thoe

@Cristian Harper looser

[@mototrailadventure2725]

Your three top enduro motorbikes are KTM. Uhmm... make sense, according to your channel logo which is orange colored 😂

[@sosmotorcycles]

i want to ride a cr500. lol its probably just straight dumb to ride. sometimes i feel like that on my mt10 lol why did i buy this death machine i love it im straight addicted to scaring myself

[@acousticguitars123]

What do you think of the KLX 230 or maybe the Kayo 230? Where I ride you don't get a chance to get going very fast because the trails are so crazy. Also we are poor over here. Help us poor folk over here Kyle!

[@carlogigante5239]

Hi Kyle, try giving a shot at the "old" Gas Gas EC 300 rebranded as Rieju Mr 300! They are fully loaded and their price is awesome!

[@Gamehouse1639]

I dunno why but after my bike is siezed I m feeling alone and watching these videos just for refreshing my memories with my bike. And now I couldnot even afford🥺

[@kalebgrubb2272]

I want that Beta 200rr

[@DonbAyers]

I've got one on the way based on Kyle's review and conversations with me. Very excited and glad to see it made his list

[@kalebgrubb2272]

@@DonbAyers I’ve got my eye on one. I live in southwest Georgia and the only place I’ve found close that has them is a 4 hour drive. I definitely think it’s worth it. I have no intentions getting rid of it once I get it.

[@GreyerShade]

A top 10 list ranked not by how good the bikes actually are but how it made some OTHER guy FEEL....... 🤔 😐

[@tobiaszdabkowski5450]

Im suprised you choose yamah yzf250fx instead of ktm 250xcf cause when you compare both you said you feel better on ktm

[@slipperedoak8727]

Nice video! Have you ever considered reviewing either the ktm500/fe501? It would be cool to hear your opinions on that bike as well. Cheers!

[@geraldrobinson7597]

I ride a Suzuki Drz 400s, If you find the time, will you please rate or do a breakdown on Drz-400s and sm

[@mikeb4708]

The old saying is that it’s the rider and not the bike only applies of both riders are on the same bike. I agree with Kyle that some bikes just make you feel like a Hero while others make you feel like you suck!
