Ktm SX-F reviews

It's easily the best bike I have owned. I did own a 2009 Honda 250R and the KTM has easily blown the Honda away. It's a very comfortable bike but I did find the suspension a little too soft. But with a stiffer spring, it was a lot better. As for power, it beat the Honda hands down and was just a lot easier to throw into corners and jumps. If you're thinking of buying a KTM SXF I highly recommend it, even the 2012 model is excellent -KTM forever. 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

This bike is insane. I had a Honda 250F and it was good but it lacked power. I don't like to do extreme mods to the engine and all that stuff. All I do is the suspension, but this 250F is insanely fast stock. All I did to it was fit the FMF factory 4.1 silencer and the FMF mega bomb header pipe. I also changed the rear sprocket from a 48t to a 49t because lugging my fat butt around was a little difficult for the bike. But when I put the 49 on, it changed that and I was racing my friend around the track who is a Lorrettas 4 placer. The bike needs the suspension done no matter what weight you are or height. But other than that, no complaints just praises. I love the bike and I recommend it to anyone looking for a new bike. Show less

I've owned the KTMM for a few months now and it's by far the best bike I've ever had!! I used two have a YZF 426 and this bike makes it look like a moped :) Any one know what performance parts I can put on it?? Let me know, thanx.... Show less

This bike is pretty amazing. I'm faster on it than my 06 yz450. It's light, powerful, and handles like a dream. If you're even on the fence about this bike, go buy it!! I race at the local track one weekend, then the next I'm in Moab on technical single track riding. Bike does it all! Love it. Show less

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

The whip is sick out of the box, no mods are needed. The only thing I added to mine was a fmf factory 4.1 silencer with a mega bomb header. I can't ride all stock. I bleed orange now. Get one. Show less

Best bike I've tried so far, the best power, excellent rider position, improved suspension, front's still a little stiff, though. Bike is a bit wider at the legs' zone, but works great because it gets your legs in a better position to grip the bike. Pity the airbox decals have to be overlapped when placing the numbers, unless you make them small. This is an awesome ride. Show less

This bike flat screams. It is much quicker than I thought that it would be coming from a 2006 250 SX-F. The four speed transmission is perfect for mx and if it is geared slightly higher a grand prix type of race is not out of the question. The E-start button is without a question reason enough to buy this bike. It helps in situations such as crashes and stalls which are thankfully an uncommon occurence. The last thing that you want to do is kick your bike for 5 minutes after a minor tip over. 3 seconds on the button is all it ever takes to get her re-lit. I have read all of the magazine reviews of this bike and I don't agree with any of them. If there are some minor short comings the ease of restarting this bike surely make up for all of them. I race the west coast WORCS series and this bike is perfect for that type of event. Show less

I've ridden a lot of bikes. The KTM had everything I ever wanted. Wherever I want to go, it takes me. Plus all of the aftermarket parts, stock is just a dream. I would recomend this bike to any racer or even trail rider alive! Show less
