I would probably try and find a left over 2018 RMZ throw a slip on muffler on it and get the suspension dialed.

Just saw the 450 version of this at the local dealership. Very impressive bike.

2019 TM MX300 -- I'm loving the look and think this bad boy would be an absolute blast to rip around an MX track on. Already have my dream 450--2018 CRF450R, so want that 2 stroke excitement as well!
I almost set out to buy a TM instead of my Yamaha and someday may still. Problem is I don't know enough about them and I don't know a single person that does. They sure look bitchin though.

IF your broke and can’t afford a new bike, get a YETI ice chest so at least you will have ice cold beer!

If I was to buy a new 2t it would definitely be a TM.. After reading through Black Diamonds thread they appear to be a very good model that is relatively unknown in the US..

The TMs seem to have more of a loyal brand following compared to other bikes here in Britain

Own and race a yz 250. Next bike is a 350, 150 or a 250 2 stroke ktm/husky.
For racing ill stick with my yz 250 2 stroke for the vet class.

If I was 20 I'd buy the 2019 Honda 450 WE.

I'm not, I'm 60, and my interests are more play riding and single track, off road, etc so I'd go for the yz250FX.

One of diggers 450s with cv's on it just the way he rides them. Lol.

New with no budget? A crf450we with a new a kit. Or an 18 chassis, a kit, and a 500 in it. Alongside a new Polaris 600r for the white stuff.

Budget (reality), looking for a clean 17 crf 450. Kinda miss my kicker (isn't that weird) after owning a ktm.

Rode my buddie’s new 2019 350sxf last weekend, i Can’t think of a bike that could touch that thing. It is so fast and so light and turned so well. I got back On my YZ250 and was just pissed off the rest of the day haha

Man those are way to expensive, I use an old cooler with a bad gasket. It soaks my van carpet if I put ice in it so I just don’t put ice. But I do have a yeti mtb. Priorities and stupid first world problems.?

Only if a KTM dealer found a 200xc-w hiding in the back still in the box (from 2016)

Looking for one of these for my kids 5th birthday on February 7th. They are sold out everywhere I can find them online. He's been begging for one, and a Cobra. Electric is pretty much mandatory to protect our right to ride after 5pm on our own property so we don't piss off the neighbors.

Just bought a new KTM 500 EXC last week. Putting in a nice big parts order tomorrow to get her “dirt ready”.

I grew up riding in the desert/off-road but I always had moto bikes since I did MX as well. This is my first dual sport and I can’t wait to explore places i’ve always wanted to ride
