Hey guys, a few weeks ago I got a 2016 KTM EXC 200 and I love the bike, it handles perfect and has smooth usable power with plenty of punch for a lightweight. Anyway I decided to make an edit of me riding it, I got a GoPro and stuck it in the dirt on some corners and stuff and it turned out alright. I love film and photography so any feedback to help make it better next time would be appreciated, here's the link:

Cheers and I hope you liked it Wink

Pretty rad. Any type of riding is great. Sweet bike too i always considered trading my 250 two stroke mx bikes for something with usable power. About to pick up another bike soon but i wasnt a fan of the fork on my 15 250 sx for my riding style.

Great video, but for the love of God, get rid of that shitty music and replace it with original sound.

Mate, I love the music but each to their own haha. I want a raw 2-Stroke sound as much as you but the GoPro case makes it hard to hear.Thanks for the feedback Smile

Thanks, yeah the bike is pretty awesome, they don't use the 4cs forks on the EXC models and they seem a bit more forgiving, last year I had a sxf250 with the same forks as your 250 and they were a bit harsher but obviously better for jumps

Cool edit! Enjoy the new bike! 200's are fantastic. I currently have an 09 200XC but should have bought a EXC/XC-W, such better suspension (like you said more forgiving)

Liked what you did with sticking it into the ground (GoPro). Unique and not the same old views from the helmet. More work for sure but end result was cool.
The music was not my style, but Im old! Good job.....
I was looking for you to blast out of the barn though instead of the slow roll out, that for me would have been better.

Yeah they use the open chamber cartridge forks (which all the KTM guys used at Finke for better feel and less fatigue) with the smaller axle now which has changed the front end geometry slightly and feeling and which have great valving and are going to be hard to improve on in the bush, but for big jumps, you'll need a little extra bottoming control via a revalve. Where do you ride?

Thanks DA498 Blasting out of the shed is tempting but the old man probably wouldn't be impressed if I sprayed gravel everywhere Silly

I do Motos for fitness but spend most of my weekends riding in tight singles in the bush, so those forks are perfect
