Why We Spent Our Life Savings On Dirt Bikes..
Ойын-сауық
After spending $20,000 on dirt bikes we decided it was best to sit down and explain why out of all the scooters in the world we decided the KTM / Husqvarna 350 was best. To make a long story short our riding plans have changed quite a bit and we want to focus more on off-road. So instead of lugging around two overweight, under-sprung Honda Dual Sports, we sold them and start fresh with two of the best Enduro bikes on the market!
If you had $20K to spend on two dirt bikes, what would they be?

Love your channel! I sold my home and put all my savings into a Trailer, solar, truck to tow the trailer and travel full time! This past friday was 6 months on the road. Its def not for everybody, but the point is def, chase your dreams!!! Also got my first dirt bike for all these dirt roads and trails. Been a blast.

@@AdventureDaily well I decided since I was going to most def beat it up Id start with a Kayo K2 230. They seem to be getting pretty good reviews for a budget bike. It ended up being a bit small for me, 6’ 1 and 250lbs lol. I ended up getting lucky and traded up to the Kayo K4 250. I figure this will get me going, let me learn, and if I crash a lot i wont be breaking a more expensive bike. Plan on saving and going for a more “Dream” bike. I had my eyes set on the CRF 300L Rally. Besides the money side atm I dont have room for a bigger bike than this 250. Would be cool to run into you one day and learn some tricks of the trade! Mostly in it for chill scenic riding but my dream would be to end up doing one of those BDR? The long 4-5 day back country camping treks!

exactly 300 2t's are known to push to 300hrs without a top end being done if just trail ridden. my last 300 I did 170hrs racing enduros with it before doing a top end and it was still going strong. As to the top speed with 13:50 gearing they do 95mph so they cruise easy at 65-70 and judging by the terrain they ride they could easily run 14:50 gearing with the 300's torque and pull 100+ easy

And they ride nothing like a 4-stroke. I have both and I love the way they both ride. Two completely different animals. Four strokes may be a little more maintenance but I'll take it for the difference in ride from a two-stroke. My 450f pulls up hills better than my 2-stroke does. But the two stroke is funner on the pipe.

Awesome to find a couple that has a similar heart to us! I started riding the old Senator Highway to Crown King when I was 21 years old on my 1984 XR350R that I still own! Things have changed a lot and while my wife and would explore the old stage coach routes on the old 350, we gave up dirt biking for a while, even took up flying for ten years. Now that we are RVing several weeks each year, we both felt the call back to dirt bikes. I restored my old XR350R, my son rides that now, then purchased and restored a 2004 XR400R which I do love, except for the kick starting! My wife likes less power and settled on the KLX230 while I tried the KLX300 (Fragmented Camo), but found it to be a little lackluster in the power dept as well as heavy. Ended up with a 2022 KTM500 EXC-F. You'll need to com visit us down here in southeastern AZ near the Dragoon Mountains in fall. We have some great trails and full hook ups for your trailer. By the way, I do love those two stroke KTM's!

Hey guys, I’m happy to see you guys are happy, I was wondering if you could be a little more specific on why you chose these bikes vs others and why the Honda 300L didn’t work out. I know you touched on it in the video but I’m thinking of buying a dirt bike to get into the sport but can’t decide which one to get and some of the sales people don’t provide a lot of info. I guess in short maybe a pros and cons of each and how they compare to each other! Love the content!

Those bikes, the ktm n husky their way more aggressive.
I think y'all made a good choice. I just traded a dual sport for my first real dirt bike. I was using my KLX300 as a dirt bike. It had non street legal knobbies and I took it by trailer or pickup bed to the places where I ride off road. I wasn't using the street legal part of it. So, I traded it in on a CRF250RX a couple weeks ago. I have no regrets. Sixty pounds less and nearly double the horsepower? Heck, yeah! All that being said, I will do the very minimum to be able to get a plate so that I can connect trails and ride on public land requiring a plated vehicle.

Nothing you said about 2 stroke vs 4 stroke maintenance and riding on road makes sense. Modern 300 2 stokes take a top end around 150-200 hours for enduro & dual sport work while your 350 is around 100 hours. Any engine work on a 2 stroke is also going to be cheaper and more simple, especially if you get into the bottom end. Then you get into valvetrain maintenance. 2 strokes need oil changes less frequently since the reservoir is only for the clutch/transmission vs that being combined with the crankcase oil. As long as you pull the clutch in when coasting, a 2 stroke does fine on road.

They're probably too young to realize that back in the '70's, pretty much all dual sports and dirt bikes were two strokes, except for the Honda XL's. And we didn't have any problem riding a two stroke on-road, it won't hurt it. How is that any different from desert racing a two stroke with the throttle pinned all the time? It won't hurt it, and even if it does, it's very easy to do a top end on a two stroke. I used to have a KX500 and did some desert racing in SoCal and that engine never had any problems, even running it wide open or nearly wide open for hours. And the top end on that engine lasted a very long time, went for at least two years before it got loose and rattly and needed rings and a piston. But no big deal you can do it in a couple of hours.

The maintenance is not a big deal on those bikes but changing the oil is a bit of a process. Preparing to change my oil after my first ride, I watched two KZread videos and both got it wrong and were corrected in the comments. Then when I picked up the bike, the Husqvarna mechanic told me there were two thingies to take out, forgetting about the third screw under the bike. Anyway, like the manual says, take out all three, clean the two screens, then take out and change the filter, and don't put cancer brake cleaner on your skin, and done. Meanwhile, kiddo's Honda 125 isn't due for another 30 hours and it's one screw, no screens. Oh well, love my fe 501 s.

nice thorough vid. not criticizing but i don't understand the two stroke maintenance argument. it seems backwards. that's why many buy them, aside from they are fun as heck to ride, they're cheaper and less headache to maintain than a 4 stroke.
