Cracker vid! Rich Larsen did a review of essentially trial riding a KLX230, he absolutely crushed it on that little whip. I’m one of the idiots with a 450 😂😂 Mine is a ‘13 Husaberg I’ve had for about a year, it would have fit right in ten years ago!

It's kind of like racing on tracks with liter bikes and getting passed by 400cc's. It's skill based. Even in the firearm community which I'm more in tune with. Some kid with a $500 PSA build can and will be better than a guy with a $3000 DD build. It's all about training.

I have a KLX, the lowly 250. Done the TAT and two BDRs, and the bike just eats up that terrain without a hiccup. Got to ride a section back-to-back on a Husky 350. Was the Husky "better?" Sure. Snappier, better suspension. Was it 2x better as reflected by the price tag? No way. These bikes are huge bang for the buck. Love the horn testing! ;-)

I have an 06 KTM 450 exc, with a plate. Did Big Bear several times. Also, many other DS rides...all hard ways. My bike is very well maintained. Never rebuilt, never had the head off. 22k miles of often difficult terrain. I don't abuse it. Always looking to preserve my bike, but get the job done. Reliable as a stone axe. Like someone said..."90% rider, 10% bike." I am by no means, a great rider. 68 years old. But, I like to think I'm a wise rider. Take good care of your bike, and it will take care of you. Many don't take the care, and just replace. Silly!!!

Guys, great race, your analysis is very detailed, honest, and informative. Thank you for putting the dilemma of ‘expensive vs stock’ to rest !

I love the CRF skid plate....product name?

I was a doubter , I had a Honda 300 and hated it, but you proved it is capable. What normal bike would be your choice for that ride?

Sh*t! Some of that terrain I wouldn't want to walk on let along try & ride on it!

I'm sure the aftermarket is very happy that people are modding bikes , plus, nice equipment is always satisfying to operate, even if you know you're not fully exploiting it.

Or maybe the KOVE next time. 👍🏽?

Maybe a Honda XR150L or a CRF 450RL next year. I'm rooting for the 150. What are your thoughts ?

Real cool. Good work! Love my 300L

I just love this kind of content, super fun and impressive results you made 🎉

I owned a CRF250L and went trail riding with guys on 450's a few times. In the open desert they were laughing at me, but when the riding got tighter and more technical, the linear power (or lack of) and lower seat height really paid off. Passing guys on a basic bike that costs $5000 is a lot of fun. Next year Honda Trail 125???

I was a one of the 2nd half HW sweep rider and saw you two come through check point 3. You were rockin'. Glad we didn't see you all afternoon. One year a group of Trail 70 riders did it.

I think you should use the same bikes for next years race but do suspension work and exhaust. See how much better you’ll do.

Just goes to show it's all about the rider. Time and time again you prove how capable and well rounded rider you are Trevor. And Kudos to you as well Tyler. And yes nothing wrong at all with those bikes. I'm proud of both of you young gentleman!!

Do it again with upgraded suspension.

Nice to see what the new Honda can do. I used to ride a '78 Honda XL250s on similar terrain.

rider not bike - i keep telling people - it will always be this way

Both these bikes come with crap suspension, the Kawi just comes with adjustable crap suspension... for $500 more. Putting $700 into Ktech aftermarket suspension on the CRF makes it the superior machine in every way. Power, handling, gearbox, clutch, features, styling, aftermarket, resale...

definitly " Less is more" for us plains mortals

Delusion breaking productions. Were so into buying the latest and greatest, and the majority of us then make excuses not to ride. People would rather chase the idea, thaj the reality. Good stuff.

Facebook is full of people that act like dikhed step children

Awesome, more of this!

I love how the price of the other duel sports keeps increasing with Trevor. Up to $30k US by the end :)

I’ve taken my KLX250 places it shouldn’t be but it got me in and back out. They are very capable. Maybe not the best for hard stuff but if it’s what you got.

Not sure if ifs possible in California, but I took a klx300r model and made it street legal. I was able to get the weight down to a reasonable level and the bike is a blast.

Plz ditch the 360 cam, looks like crap and can't tell at all what the terrain looks like

out there collecting KTM tears👏

Classic underdog story. Loved it!!

I’ve had extensive time on both. The KLX is way better

Proud of you guys, you did well and probably pissed a lot of riders off with a tap on the horn as you blew by them. My KLX 300 has see a lot of terrain like that and never let me down.

You better off spending cash on riding more than adding do-dads. No harm in modding your bike, no harm in buying the best the the Euro's have to offer, but if you wanna be quick.....ride more.

This was helpful

Great work!

THANKS !!!!

Thanks for the video. I'm still confused about the pro and cons of different spring configurations. Thanks 🙂

I'd like to see a Tenere 700 next time

XT250 next yr!

Honda Trail 125 next year!!!

What economy didn't get out out of 4.5 gallons of gas? Just over a hundred miles!!??

I heard you had a Airmousse foam tire insert in that Honda.

Dude spend some money on the suspension and the xt250 will blow away some more expensive bikes in technical track. Great video

Got to get a TW200 out here...lol

I'm a shit rider on a CRF300l with a few mods. I absolutely love "my" bike it kicks ass. It's great to see someone with skill ride this bike and give it props for what it is.

😂 you guys just reinforced the truth that it’s the rider not the machine.

You guys are incredible!

All the kooks passing on the road just to get passed back when you hit dirt 😂

It ain’t always about the bike :-) $20,000 KTM’s getting worked by $6000 bike :-) that’s a kick in the dick lol great video guys
