We gave it to our photographer, who has never<br />
really done anything even remotely off-ro<strong>ad</strong>-ish<br />
for a quick spin and he came back with a huge<br />
grin.<br />
Our Photographer cutting his teeth on<br />
the 250 EXC-F and loving life.<br />
“So natural and easy to side, not intimidating at<br />
all but when I opened that throttle – WOW!”<br />
This is a great choice. A purpose built, fun-to-ride<br />
enduro machine.<br />
Conclusions:<br />
2-stroke or four stroke?:<br />
The choice is getting more and more difficult<br />
these days. As technology improves,<br />
the four strokes are getting more and more<br />
reliable, lighter and faster – and the same can be<br />
said for modern two strokes.<br />
It’s one of those things where you need to decide<br />
what kind of terrain you want to ride – and make<br />
your choice. Don’t just listen to your buddy. Try to<br />
ride the bikes yourself.<br />
We can only share our opinion – and in terms<br />
of all round, user friendly easy to ride motorcycles,<br />
KTM has a vast selection to choose from.<br />
For harder stuff, the 300 would probably still be<br />
our choice here – but for an everyday motorcycle<br />
that does everything well the 250 is a great<br />
choice.<br />
