Hey Jon, enjoyed the video. I just sold a Honda CRF450X and bought a KTM XCW 250. I live in TN so the trails are brutal. I loved the Honda on the less technical trails and hill climbs. Never had a problem with it. The main reason I went to a KTM 2 stroke was less weight. I am 57 years old and the 450 beat my like a red headed step child. I love them both for different reasons. Truth be told if it has two wheels I love it anyway. Thanks.
Extreme Enduro i too live in TN and heartily agree with you. As a 47 year old on a 450 riding black diamonds in Windrock im getting my butt kicked by this thing. Im not really interested in a $12k KTM tho. I have been looking at the CRF250F. Its looking better and better all the time as an alternative to brute force.
nope, I have an 06 105 and I did all of the required maintenance and did it right and I dont even ride it that hard but I have gone through 2 rebuilds in the past 2 months, so 1 rebuild per month. where the Honda cr250 I got has not needed a rebuild in 3 years and I ride the hell out of that bike. this is why as soon as im done fixing my ktm im selling the piece of shit and getting an xr600r. if it aint red its probably dead.
One thing I've learned in all my years of riding it doesn't matter what you ride as long as you have fun riding and that Honda is probably a great trail bike but is no match for a KTM 300.
Yea I have noticed a lot of snobbery from some KTM owners. Yes KTMs are freakin amazing. And Yes they are the pinnacle of performance. But NO you do not need one to be a fast Enduro rider.. Half the ones talking shit can't even ride...
Gladius Jon 😂😂 true! Plus if you can do it on a motocross bike that makes you a better rider as it’s harder. But you got 2 bikes so you’re living the dream. If you got haters, you’re doing something right
What is a good ratio mix i just rebuilt a kdx200 and the mechanic is an amsoil dealer and he is recomending amsoil interceptor and a 50:1 ratio which i feel is to lean but i have no idea i have never owned a 2 stroke before si would really like an answer before they get it running, thankyou
I'm planning a trip from Illinois to Alaska next spring. I currently have a 2017 Africa Twin and I want to trade it before the trip. I could buy a Multistrada, GS, Tiger or anything else I want. However, I'll be on a 2020 Africa Twin for the trip. Why? Because that's a long trip and I want as few problems as possible.
Help please, What pressure should i run Im a 16 year old 60KG rider Just bought a rimlock I run tubes I have a yamaha dt 125 Very slow riding that needs good traction
Man that XR brings back memories of my first bike. 1985 XR 80R. I'm 17 btw soooo...it took all my crap on top of what it had been through before. I'm definitely a Honda fan😂😂😂
You can't put that crf250 in the same reliability category as an Xr80. It simply doesn't go. Also, an interesting test would be suck some dirt into the engine through a dry air filter on the crf250, just to see if it handles it better than the ktm...
@@scottgaskill4896 If you like working on your bike. own a KTM. I do an oil change every 10 hrs. of run time. replace the piston every 100 hrs. of run time. I love it. if you don't do your own work you will have to pay out-of-pocket a lot of money. for me the KTM is the better bike.
This is what I like. Riding for my own amusement at the speed I can handle. I must get me an XR80 again =) not selling the Gasgas 300 anytime soon though.
@@GoOdMoNEyDaVE Never heard of a KTM being called that, but I've been living under a rock in many ways. Haven't kept myself updated since early nineties.
Your buddy riding with a broken foot is 1 tough guy!!!! Yes, Honda makes a good bike regardless of the no e start. The motors are hard to kill. Back in the early 1970's I had a Honda 70, my buddies had the SL100 and 125's all air cooled, we couldnt kill them and ran the dog crap out of them with very little maintenance. I also had a 2 stoke CR 125 and always had problems with it. And no- you don't need a $11,000. KTM bike to ride mostly in 1 and 2nd gear. I now have a 2013 Husky TXC 310 efi 4 stroker, only because I got it for $2500. and only had 12 hrs on it. I also still have my 1982 Kaw 750 street bike 4 cyl. --4 stroker. The more you ride your Honda- the more your gonna like it!!!!
I dont know about that resale thing tho. My KTM is a 2017. Has over $2,000 in upgrades making it a $13,000 bike. And No one wants to give me more then 5k for it...
@@GladiusJon you get hardly anything for upgrades and the first 3 years is the biggest depreciation. 69% of Americans do not have 1,000 dollars in the bank. I just seen a study on this so the more cash you need, the more likely someone is to go finance a new one. Your bike is at its hardest point to sell without a huge loss. I have a 2011 that is pristine. I bought it in 2015 for 4,000. It had 17 hours on it. I have very little in it and was offered 3,500 the other day. Not bragging but if u play it right, you won't lose much on them. The suspension and everything is pretty damn good off the floor.
I'm going to continue being a little Bitch, and using the happy button, On my FE 501. I do have a kicker backup though. Oh and the super lazy man's rekluse, it makes my vagina happy!😂
Sold my new Honda Africa Twin AS & bought a 2018 EXC500F. No fat chicks and no heavy pigs for motorcycles. Love the KTM, the Honda was 450 lbs versus 243 lbs. neither suck but the KTM is better, faster, lighter, & runs circles around the Honda. Just gotta have the right tool for the job, & it was not the obese Honda.
I agree with you for offroading. However, how does the KTM 500 performs in the highway? If it's as good as the Africa Twin (which I doubt), then I'm totally sold!
Those are two very different animals. As much as I love my 14 Husaberg FE501, it's very unpleasant to ride on the street. Now it is setup for PNW singletrack, but even with summo tires, the damn seat is a 2x4!
That crf looks fun! Glad to hear a 300 owner that isn’t like man 300 is where it’s at 300 is best 300 is king 300 is unstoppable like sure maybe if u ride hard enduro all these guys ride the easy singletrack not even technical thinkin they absolutely need it because their lack of skill frustrates them they need easiest bike
@@moto_tech_braap_itout9852 Just the opposite, unless you're comparing olllld beat up 2 strokes to fresh 4Ts with low hours. The only way to break a 2 stroke is by being an idiot and using thin oil mixes and lean jetting. There are way more moving parts inside a 4T engine , and they are expensive parts. My 250 2 stroke will outlive any 250F and be faster and more fun the whole time.
Rob H never judge a book by its cover. Justin is an B class hare scramble racer, and a semi pro trials rider. I highly doubt you could keep up with him for more then 10 seconds
Good headline! My favorite Honda to date is hands down the ole XR100. Only have one Honda currently in our stable; the oldy but goody XR200R, with tasteful mods including a custom welded big fin head. Got rid of our last CRF a few years ago and the vintage XR200 is on its way out as well to make room for the other red bike... Beta. It's fun trying them all, but so far I have had a lot more fun on Yamahas and KTM's than the others. Honestly, the CRF's I've owned rank pretty low in comparison to the KTM's and Yamaha's we have had. Cheers.
@@thomasdigs I have owned XR Hondas, reliable and dependable, the newest models have top and bottom end failures,CRF mainly,Suzuki and Kawasaki are very underrated, their engine and gearboxes are tough as nails
@@miloraca I've not heard of any problems with them. New 4 stroke race bikes are not going to be as reliable when you run them on the ragged edge, this is why I prefer a 2 stroke. My little brother has had a 2018 crf 125L since Christmas and that thing has torque for days. Modern racebikes ran at race pace are not going to last long before rebuilds, no matter the brand.
The decision of what brand is better than the other is a worthless argument because many factors play into what is "good" and more often than not the decision of what manufactures is "good" is what you grew up around and no real reasons. Furthermore, one engine judged only by the power it makes and no other aspect is pointless. Welcome to my ted talk
Those little XR80's rock! I swear, KTM's are the "in" bike to have. I honestly prefer my clapped YZ250 and heavy-ass WR250R over my friend's KTM 350EXC or Husqvarna 501. They're as much fun and half the price (or a tenth in the case of my YZ).
Ktm (keep taking money).. Like the look but won't catch me buying one.. I had a 144cc Ktm race one it was shit quick swapped a 250 yz for it didnt have any issue with the that Ktm... But any other ones me friends and I had were allways breaking plastics would fall off when driving and the amount of times the top end went 🙈never again
I have herd that from a lot of Friends. Justin had Two 4 strokes Eat the Valves before 50hrs. Im kinda putting it to the test right now. My 300 needed a Top end at 54hrs. Jug was fine, so It was a $200 job.
Clearly never drove a KTM or you couldn't do basic maintenance. KTM served me well over the years. Its all about the rider and if hes mecanic enough to do the maintenance. Honda blow up too.. just like any other brand ... buddy

There’s a reason why all these clowns compare their bikes to a ktm. Everyone knows ktm is superior but people want to wish they had a ktm so they “compare” it to a ktm and just talk nonsense the whole time
Your riding on flat ground dude. Aircooled Honda xr line and Crf are apples to oranges. You could bury a XR in sand for 30 years, unburry it and it would probably still run. They're bulletproof. CRF's on the other hand.... Honda couldn't get them from eating their own vales for a decade. Oh yeah I think Honda says 15 hrs on the rings too so better get to pulling that ghey thing apart. R.I.P Jon, he's a Honda humper now
@@GladiusJon I'm scratchin my head but I think I may know what it is. Is it the opposite of Alpha? Like dudes who ride anything but Honda would be called Alpha males, while dudes who ride Hondas would be called B___a males?😂 JK. Sounds interesting
Clint Easterly You might be right 😉. I need a dual sport because I lost access to my local trails. But I also need a bike that’s capable of racing hare scrambles with out killing me. There is very few manufacturers who offer a bike for those needs. And I already did the orange kool aid thing 😭
@@GladiusJon the DRz bro!!! I know it's pretty heavy. Actually, I rode a Honda 450x a couple weeks ago it was a 2012 I think, and I'm not gonna lie it was fricken awesome. A little on the heavy side but it was so comfy like riding a couch and it's a damn tractor. Power is very tame but I liked it. Its managable. Most 450s I've ridden kill you and give me insane arm pump within minutes. Whatever is your super secret bike I look forward to it.
Stacy M if you enjoy spending tons on parts😂😂😂I'm a Honda guy because of what I've put so many of them through and they just keep on ticking like nothing is wrong
Lol. I dont know if Honda is better than a ktm ... I am sure Honda is only JUST better than a schwinn. If Honda is indeed better than ktm .... ktm IS a turd.
Me personally I think ktm is just over priced garbage don't get me wrong I love u videos but I have been thinking u are being held back by that ktm there are a lot better performing bikes that are cheaper then ktm
To be fair, if a man with a broken foot can ride a 33 year old 80cc bike through it you're not riding Enduro, you're just out trail riding. ;)

This is very true. Shit look at the Honda super cub for example.
Your riding on flat ground dude. Aircooled Honda xr line and Crf are apples to oranges. You could bury a XR in sand for 30 years, unburry it and it would probably still run. They're bulletproof. CRF's on the other hand.... Honda couldn't get them from eating their own vales for a decade. Oh yeah I think Honda says 15 hrs on the rings too so better get to pulling that ghey thing apart. R.I.P Jon, he's a Honda humper now
Clint Easterly Honda humper lmao! Anyways, I’m selling both of them for a bike that has not even been announced yet for 2020 🤫
@@GladiusJon I'm scratchin my head but I think I may know what it is. Is it the opposite of Alpha? Like dudes who ride anything but Honda would be called Alpha males, while dudes who ride Hondas would be called B___a males?😂 JK. Sounds interesting
Clint Easterly You might be right 😉. I need a dual sport because I lost access to my local trails. But I also need a bike that’s capable of racing hare scrambles with out killing me. There is very few manufacturers who offer a bike for those needs. And I already did the orange kool aid thing 😭
@@GladiusJon the DRz bro!!! I know it's pretty heavy. Actually, I rode a Honda 450x a couple weeks ago it was a 2012 I think, and I'm not gonna lie it was fricken awesome. A little on the heavy side but it was so comfy like riding a couch and it's a damn tractor. Power is very tame but I liked it. Its managable. Most 450s I've ridden kill you and give me insane arm pump within minutes. Whatever is your super secret bike I look forward to it.
Doesn't have electric start, doesn't have a hydraulic clutch and doesn't have brembo brakes. ktm is way better then
honda will ever be.
Me either... 😂
They question is why yamaha is better than Honda? Bwhaha
Maby! I need to ride one..
@@GladiusJon haha, I was telling you not giving you an option to have your own opinion.. Bwhaha
Vegas romaniac arent you from the Australian enduro page?
@@kayn3634 maybe.. Haha
My IT 200 would handle that no sweat
Keep throwing money =🐂💩
KTM rules!
Stacy M if you enjoy spending tons on parts😂😂😂I'm a Honda guy because of what I've put so many of them through and they just keep on ticking like nothing is wrong
I have the most reliable dirtbike on the planet. True story.
Lol. I dont know if Honda is better than a ktm ... I am sure Honda is only JUST better than a schwinn. If Honda is indeed better than ktm .... ktm IS a turd.
KTM can’t be beat. Sorry
Honda better than ktm lol,
This is just not truw ktm is much better
Hondas are not better
Ktm does not suck😡😡😡
Ktm are far better
Me personally I think ktm is just over priced garbage don't get me wrong I love u videos but I have been thinking u are being held back by that ktm there are a lot better performing bikes that are cheaper then ktm
