    and don't forget to add tax, dealer prep and handling... You're looking at a $13k bike unless you can swing a discount, which won't happen if KTM ships limited numbers. If they keep them hard to get, that keeps the pricing high.

    Yep, they need to build 300 2t, 350, and 501's in bigger numbers and stop shoving other models people don't want down the dealers throats.

    Well I think they should get rid of the 300 2 stroke, 350, and 501 because they make the other bikes in the line up look bad ;)

    Interesting. Dealers here only got like 1-2 of the ones I listed and could sell a bunch more. Regional differences I guess. I personally like the 250's over the 300's too.

    I'd think that's just the area. I can't read a thread on orange talk about a 250 without a 300 kit being the fix. My jetting is off, 300 kit. I'd like a little more mid range, 300 kit. What sprocket should I get, 300 kit. I want to make my bike lighter, the gyroscopic effect keeps the suspension higher in the stroke this making it feel like it glides lol

    It is regional as down the shore in jersey in the 95 degree days and 2nd gear stick farms 300s leave alot of anti freeze in the sand. All my buddies have 250s and 300s and all they do is fight about which is best. Depends how you ride really. 250s do seem to handle better but it does not seem possible that a few cc impact inertia. I'll try a 300 if I can get a 1100 buck break.

    I personally believe it does. Smaller crank weigh and less torque pushing the front end around is noticeable to me. Plus modern 250's make more power than I can use. Both things I like about the 165's

    Well I found out the hard way after buying a new 300 I don't like the feeling of the big piston going chug chug chug. I'm a 165-250 man myself; now which one that's the big question for me :confused:. Funny, a few years back while talking to a KTM dealer that was just told he had to start riding a new 300 and was bummed about it. His reason, he didn't like the extra gyro effect of the 300. I "thought" he was nuts. After about 7K I found out it was a pretty good reason ;):D.

    I think I'd be a 300 guy more because I'd take a 449 over a 310. I don't think the difference in weight is worth the torque. I just need to try every bike out that exists lol

    I don't think its additional gyro effect as much as additional off idle torque that makes the typical 300 feel different. Gyroscopic effect is rotational And all the lower end components are the same between the 250s and 300s of each brand. 300s feel heavier when they want to stand up more in a turn at the crack of the throttle. In the case of the Beta, It does not have this bigger bike feel like the KTM or the GG300. I believe the reason is because it has less off idle than the others. The compression feels a bit lower, and the bike revs more freely, like a 250. It's still obvious it's a 300 but it's just not excessive in your face power you don't need. For me, being a 250 rider for years, it's great. It would be interesting to take a KTM 300 and tune it like this, dummy down the low end snap a bit and see if it feels lighter in the corners.

    That's a huge and risky assumption. I reckon the price point actually has little to do with it, as long as the *loan payment amount* is manageable. Ford, Dodge and Toyota are selling fifty thousand dollar pickups ($50k for a freakin pickup?!?) like crazy; does that mean that "the price is right?" Or does that mean that people can get their financing down to a few hundred dollars a month (for the rest of their lives - but so what, it's only a few hundred a month).

    If there were no financing options, nobody would be selling anything at current prices.

    yep, thats why we have financing. Regardless of how you end up buying it the fact is people are buying them. If they were sitting on the showroom floor with no buyers financing or not then the price point was to high (or the product is undesirable). There has always been financing so I don't include that delta. And, they really aren't a lot more than the competition.

    As much as I would love a new 501S, I think my TE449 will do just fine for now! Pricey bikes, and I hate to finance any toys. I don't think they are far off on price, all off-road powersports toys are going up these days. Supply and demand is the name of the game.

    As long as the Fed keeps printing $$$$$$$$$$$$ out of thin air, everything is going up. Supposedly all is well in the business/financial world, yet trillions per year out of nowhere and interest rates,zero. Yeah, all is well :-)
