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 />

Add all of this to one of the most effective dealer<br />

networks in South Africa and you are sorted.<br />
