It was a little challenging to ride all the bikes (20 minutes on each model and each bike twice) and also run around and capture enough footage for a video in only a day, but anyway, here are my first thoughts on the new 2016 KTM's!

"The 250sxf is a little easier to ride than the 150, but not nearly by much as it use to be"

It's almost just as easy to ride as the 250sxf?

How does the 150 stack up against the 250sxf?

I had a 2012 150SX, and my main riding buddy had a 2012 250 SX-F and I found my 150 faster at times, but it was way harder to go fast on it because it didnt seem to handle nearly as well as his bike. I found the new 2016 150 handled way better than my old 150, and the motor also felt smoother so the handling gap to the 250f closed up a lot. Personally I found the 150sx more fun to ride too because of how light it feels.

After watching the video i might go there tomorrow, its about a 2 hour drive for me. Anyone can test ride the 2016 Models tomorrow right?
Yea, they now have all the bikes to test this weekend for everybody. Good day out if you can make it to XBowl.

It's Josef Dobes riding in the video, EX Kawasaki MXGP factory rider, I was filming. This is me riding in 2nd part of this vid, not nearly as good as Dobes Smile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TEcd1Q4lEI
