What year KTM 300 XCW should I get? - Page 3

I will be picking up this beauty this coming weekend

. Gotta do abit of driving but my family and myself will make a weekend of it. (My twin 3 year old girls will love the pool at the hotel I hope)

I can't wait to through a leg over her. My wife allready shut me down on racing the weekend after, She thinks 3 week after surgery is too soon. Oh well, She puts up with the rest of the things I do.

That's slick! Something different to play with,for extreme trail riding I can see where the 2 wheel drive would be neat.

I can't make out if it's a 200 or greater. If its a 200, I think you will be very happy with it based on your weight and riding level. My wife has a 200, and although it's too much for her (12oz fly wheel weight and G2 cam on order), it really is a great bike and I love riding it ST. If Husaberg had a 200, I would have purchased it over the TE250.

It's a 08 300 xcw. I think it's going to be a lot of fun.

Congratulations, you'll have to take it to Walker for a secret stash run.

Im a regular size guy at 185lbs and 6' tall,I ride my 200XCW on any trail I rode my 300 on.
It goes like stink and is so easy to flick around its just fun! Im always surprized more guys dont ride the 200's.
Its a cheater bike,never gets hot on big climbs,rails corners like a BMX bike. Ive got 170 hours on the OEM top end,I'll put a piston kit in it but it still runs like new.

Well here she is. Rode it around the Cabella's parking lot and over afew snow banks. Feels awesome. Super light

Capt. Egregious · 02-16-2013, 09:59 PM

So far I'm loving it. Hope to get a lot of riding in soon. This bike feels soo light, I bet a 200 feels unreal when tossing it around. Thanks again to all you fellow 2smokers for all the pointers/info.

Dirt Rider weighed one at 283 dry weight,I guess that's pretty light. That was a 4 stroke 450 though.

Capt. Egregious · 02-22-2013, 08:21 PM

I rode the new bike to work today, what a gas. 2strokes on the street will get me in trouble

.
The 300s center of gravity seems super low and feels very light. But everything feels lighter then a mud covered XRR

The rebuild process of the new bike has begun. One piece at a time.
