2007 KTM reviews

For the past 4 years I’ve been a proud owner of my 2007 KTM 250 xcf-w and I must say what an amazing bike! I have ridden many bikes ranging from 2005-2022 and I am a firm believer that this bike sits between a good and excellent bike to own. It punches a huge amount of low end power which absolutely tanks through anything you throw at it. One of my favourite things about this bike is it that you can easily customise it to your preference - with regards to aftermarket parts , plastics, accessories and tuning-making it an outstanding bike to customise to your riding style at a reasonable price. Suspension is super reliable and comfortable , handling is fantastic and the power is amazing. However I do believe there is some room for improvement… the stock kick stand has to be the only worst thing about this bike ( the stand is too short and sits on a very thin metal frame) which compromise’s the chain guard if it breaks. The Radiator as well can be a problem, this year of bike does run hot and the radiator doesn’t essentially help slow down rising engine temperatures, I would recommend if anyone is wanting to purchase this bike sometime soon is to save a bit of money to install a cooling fan onto your radiator- it works like a bomb and prevents any damage to your bike’s engine in the future. Besides that I would consider this bike to be a 9/10 for a junior or senior rider. Hope this helps ! Show less

I bought this bike for my son and he absolutely loves it. You can tell that this is a quality machine just by looking at the build and the quality of parts. It has the best of everything. This bike outclasses anything in the category. It even keeps up with 125ccs! It is scary fast, when this thing hits the power band it is unbelievable. It is a fantastic bike. If you are looking for a machine under 125ccs, get it, nothing comes close! My son has outgrown the bike, it is now for sale. It's in perfect condition. Show less

This bike has to be my third KTM and like my past I purchased used and completely rebuilt it. But from the begining it was a strong running machine. It definitely does not like to go slow, likes to overheat without the assistance of a fan. But this bike is very forgiving at the same time for the novice rider. The only thing really missing from mine that I really need is a stabilizer. Other than some odds and ends, this bike just screams to be be ridden hard, and it lets you dominate. I will recommend some upgrades on the suspension to fit your body. I put in a progression spring which loves the desert riding in Nevada. In the air or in the sand this bike has it all, except the cops don't like it much on the street. So I bought an EXC, too. I'm in the middle of rebuilding that one, too. Show less

I've ridden many styles and makes of motorcycles. By far the Superduke 990 is the funnest, most comfortable (sportbike) I've ever ridden. I love it's style and riding position and the sound of the bike is like nothing else out there. GET ONE, YOU won't REGRET IT!! Show less

Just brought home my new 2009 ktm 950 se erzberg edition the other day. Wow, what a beast. The first thing that gets your attention is the seat height. Getting your leg over is the worst thing about the bike. Very tall seat at 38 inches. After that everything else is good. Ride is better than expected. The enduro tires are pretty smooth on the road. Have not been off road yet. The bike runs very smooth and starts easily. The riding position provides plenty of room, not cramped at all. After riding everything from mx bikes to full dressed harleys, this bike is by far the most exciting bike I have ever owned. Will update when I have logged more miles. Show less

I rode my KTM for the first time on the track and I have never ridden a bike that hooked up so well and had such steady power in a 2 stroke. Show less

Just turned 12k miles with this bike. Recently returned from a great south to north zig/zag run up the entire state of Wisconsin. Ran mostly county roads but did bomb down gravel, sand and a short stint of tight dirt/mud single track. Still running the stock tires and it handled everything very well for being loaded down with camping gear. Sand and mud will give any larger bike a problem but a steering stabilizer would have helped. I love the performace of this machine. Great off the line go (dropped a tooth on countersproket) and it handles the twisties without a hiccup. Powerful brakes slow the machine effortlessly too. My complaint? Seat is as hard as a clay brick. Recently purchased AirHawk seat and this is no longer a problem. I rode 8+ hours a day with no soarness/numbness. The clutch also chatters due to its dry design and it being a V twin. I do appreciate the hydraulic operation, no adjustments other than the ocassional fluid change and bleed. Being a tall rider the wind screen is way to short causing serious buffeting especially with a visored helmet. Overall a GREAT bike for me allowing me to tear up the twisties and tackle the dirt.

Very reliable bike, needed suspension work to match my weight and riding style but the bike is all and more than what I could ask for. Show less

I have owned 8 bikes, all being inline 4s. This bike, the 990 Super Duke, is the best by far. This bike is raw power and a total rush to ride. The LC8 motor is awesome. After this twin I will never go back to an inline four. This bike is a true super twin. Show less

I just bought a '07 300 XC(W) and haven't put too much time on it yet but I have ridden it enough to know it has got power out the wazoo! After rejetting it, putting in a new plug and running a higher grade oil, it starts up on the 1st kick. It has great low end torque (unlike my other bike) and will raise the front wheel in the first three gears. I've been a 4-stroke guy (and still am) but I will enjoy this 2-stroke for my woods riding for a long time. I say, get a two-stroke while you can! Show less
