Orange Mountain Goat
By (I am an Owner) on Dec 20, 2009I have 23 motorcycles ranging from Bultaco's to BMW's, dirt to touring. I now have 88.5 hrs on my 2008 xcwe 300, 122 hrs.on a 2007 exc 450, 75 hrs on a 2009 xcw 200. All bikes have had a good routine maint. and yet to have a failure. I installed a Rekluse, bark busters, hi-lo ignition switch and ... rewired the bike for street use( for dualsport purposes). This bike has been raced in Harescrambles, Motocross and Enduro's. This is a truly 1 bike does it all, it will scream, you can lug it, it pulls forever. With the minimal changes KTM have made to this bike in the last 2 years I see it will be in my garage for quite some time. Thanks KTM

dont buy on
By (I am an Owner) on Nov 18, 2008I have bought my last KTM. I purchased a 2008 300 XCW E. I have 7 bikes and take excellent care of all of them. This bike has maybe 40 hours on it and has had a catastrophic engine failure. For the $$ spent on this bike very dissatisfied. At KTM dealer now, don't know how much yet :( to fix. Used ... recommended Motorex oil $$ and regular filter cleanings. Raced one hare scramble.
Also front brake is horrible. Have to bleed every ride. Dealer says very common problem and just deal with it.
Have 2002 Honda CR 2 stroke. Still going strong not even a top end. Guess i'll have to keep kick starting
