    for a lot of the squirrel trail stuff we do it would be a hoot. Just not sure it would be any better of more fun than our 165's.

    I'm assuming they are much less maintenance. I picture the 350 version as something to stomp out the WR250R and DRZ. Or better yet, Supermoto versions. It's a KTM and it'd cost way more then those bikes but it may do really well anyway. They seem to have the same power but would be a lot lighter even being street legal. There I go dreaming again :)

    How so? Still have all the standard MC parts. Now E-bikes are going to be WAY less maintenance.

    Fuel capacity is really small according to the stats on the KTM website.

    I figured it was the difference between a yz250f and a wr250x. Way less power but 24k valve checks

    This is pretty much the only KTM I would want at this point. I'd love to have a trials/enduro hybrid. Mainly for the low seat height. One reason I'm leaning towards getting a Beta 250rr. They're listed as having a 36.6" seat height.

    Good to know, I've yet to get up next to one in the flesh. My inseam would love that seat height. My TC is lowered 1" and it's still tricky at times, plus I want a 2 stroke.
