Having owned the old generation 21 and 22 FC350, and 23 MC350 and now the new generation 25 FC350 the new gen bike in my opinion is much better. Feels lighter on the track although the scale says otherwise. Better power delivery. Providing condition, maintenance records, hours, cost are all similar go 24 ktm. The MC 350 is a great bike but the ktm will have Brembo, map switch, etc. the gg doesn’t (unless its been modded)

" Perhaps Eli should have gone to Husqvarna considering KTM's current issues ?" They're under the KTM umbrella.

Marketing 101. It gets eyeballs and people talking about the brand. You can say what you want about the boots, but they've already won and the announcement hasn't even dropped.

This and FXR are the nicest looking gear now.

I installed a Radius CX in my '17 KTM 350SXF about 4-5 weeks ago. I ride 100% mx, not really into trails. I have several practice days and a race day at Hangtown on it now. Bottom line, this clutch is awesome. I am running the default engagement spring setup and there is really no 'lag' in engagement that I can feel. It feels just like the stock clutch to me but helps me out when I get tired or make a mistake. On my 350, I'd say 1-3 times where I might be at a practice track I'll flame...

YZ250, to a SXF450, now on a 2024 FC350, so much easier to ride, felt at home immediatly. 62Yrs, lifetime slowguy

I fought going to a 350 for a decade. I've owned 450's and invested lots of time and money to making it more manageable, easier to ride, more comfortable, and tamed the engine...only to be just as fast on a stock 250. I rode 250's for years and they're a lot of fun. I can get the most out of me as a rider with the small bore bike but I'm working for that speed. Downshifting 2 times going into corners, scrubbing, slipping the clutch, keeping momentum in the corners, and getting killed on the starts in the vet class...

Yeah I had kyb's on my 23 and never really tried the stock forks. Did 10hrs on the stock forks on my 25 and was really liking them but I can't help myself and had to try the dal soggio's. Only had one ride on them so far but definitely not blown away. If anyone says they won't buy a ktm cos the air forks are crap they are terribly wrong.

Respectfully disagree, building and modding a bike is almost as much fun as riding one for a lot of us. To each their own though. To the original question, I’m a 350 guy and currently on a 25 FC350 heritage I made into my own factory edition. I have MX-tech ravens in it and am very happy with the results. My son has a MC 250f with the XPR dual injector and vortex. Even with the mods back to back the 350 bottom and torque is drastically different. Go 350

Yes, you just get the flange for a 2022 KTM 350SX-F, but it's not necessary. Ideally, you'd have one with the brembo stuff... Here's my recipe for a sleeper 2023 MC350F that looks stock but runs very strong. My MC350F is a holeshot machine, even though I am slowing down at age 45. This year I grabbed both holeshots at Washougal's amateur national race in the 40+A category on this bike. That 40+ class is like a nuclear arms race of vet class 450Fs and a couple of those guys are a lot faster than I am. Modifications: -Map switch...

The 23+ 350 has way more bottom end than previous gen. Add Vortex and XPR exhaust flange to make it even better!

Should make a vet rider spin off a little more appropriate for us past the No Fear phase and call it "Some Fear".

I always wanted to have canvas make me some slow house gear

I hope they do a throw back to the old MC stuff! I will buy that immediately lol
