No regrets here ! Finally got to ride mine on Sunday. I’ve been riding my 300 in technical single track all year and was a little rusty at first, but after a few laps, I felt right at home on my 350. 
I’m so glad that I sold my SX300 and went back to a 350, it’s the perfect bike for me. 

Let me know if you want to sell that thing!!

Currently own 3 of them. a 19 SXF with 22 suspension, 20xcfw (totally different bike really) and just got a 23 SXF. The 23 engine is nuts! Its like a 450 low-mid. Snaps like my YZ250F but with big power. It really feels like they are shipping them with a big bore kit installed! The new bike I'm still getting used to. Suspension is better coming from my 19 (with 22 suspension), Handling on the old bike feels a little easier and lighter. Better front end grip. Likely because of the extra punch on the new bike it wants to lift a bit more. I love 350s! I love my YZ250f as well. That bike has a similar powerband to the KTM 350s just less. I HATED my KX450, 450SXF and actually really liked my RMZ 450 until I broke both arms overjumping a big triple. I guess I just don't like fighting the engine. The 350 is fast as a 450 but less torque and takes less effort to ride overall. Less arm pump, more fun with the long power spread. The 350 has that light, free revving feel and pulls HARD up top. Its like a factory team 250F with a big bore kit. Really. Close to perfect bikes IMO. That said......If Yamaha decided to make a 350F i'd be first in line! Heck i'd love an RMZ350 as well Smile

I thought it was the perfect bike besides the shitty air forks

I rode my friends '23 350 last Sun and could barely tell a difference, motor wise, with my '21 450. Both KTM's
