PALMER84ONE:
WOW :P
Jaxi really?
All I do is :stirthepot: for all the cool aid drinkers for fun. If most of the KTM owners were a little less up-fuckin-tight, thinking they own the shit, I wouldn't say shit. And that goes for most I have meet on the trail not my cool aid friends on this forum, I think they have thicker skin than that (I would hope). I have met some real trail queens. In fact, I think the 350's that John-Martin ride are kick ass bikes, rode one for about 30 miles over the mountain when my Beta took a shit over on the Corona side. Best KTM I have ever swung a leg over is the 2012 350 EFI. I have been on them 350's and buddies 450, 525, and traded my TE450 with Travace's bike for a while in JV whatever it is. Ergonomics is a tuff thing when a bike doesn't feel right (pegs to seat to bars), and although Trav and myself are almost the same build (he is lighter :smirk: ) I don’t like the “feel” of his bike or the other ones. Of course the bikes I have ridden are set up for the rider but to jump from one bike to another the 350 felt the best. See, I can jump from all of the bikes in my stable (Honda, Yamaha, Husqvarna, Beta) and not “one” of them feels foreign to me and they are set up for my kids. So I don’t know, it’s just the way it is for my fat short ASS I guess.
YES, I bought a KTM, and you can ride it if you come visit. It’s not a plastic model in a box; it has two rubber wheels, frame, etc. Needs to be modified a bit and will be getting the CDA/CRT much needed horse power. Photos soon to follow.

bought my first ktm last fall, have owned yamaha,suzuki,kawi,hodaka,and yes even honda brands. the 300 i got is great, but my rm250 is still a blast, that being said i haven't noticed the stuck up asshole thing up here for ktm owners maybe its just a lower 48 thing. the only sides drawn up here is the bike/quad war, now those quad riders are insane for sure.

it was the best bike of 2005,and don't give me all the crap about the cr450 forskin of that year, I'm talking' smokers only, but its awesome on track and takes a little work on the trail, but its the funnest bike I've owned,the 300 makes the trail wayyyyyy easier.

pretty bike, mine has the 3.2gal clarke tank, and has been rebuilt from stem to stern 2 or 3 times, I'm going to ride it less now, but i love the way it turns, and the arm stretching power hit. is that the stock pipe on yours? if so i found the pro circuit works pipe works great with the rm's power delivery

Thanks! Yeah all stock. I love it. Rides fine the way it is. No need in a pipe until I crush this one. Then I'll put one on it.
