The Worst Bike I've Ever Bought... briefly (KTM 300)

Video Description

The KTM 300 EXC is one of the most popular dirt bikes of all time, and for good reason… It’s enduro’s AK-47 – and will keep firing whether it’s upside down, underwater or filled with mud! In production since 1990, this rugged 2-stroke machine found mainstream popularity through its dominance of the world’s toughest races, like Erzberg and Romaniacs with legends like Taddy Blazusiak, Graham Jarvis and Jonny Walker inspiring weekend warriors all over the globe that when the going gets tough, this is the bike to have! Its popularity’s reached such heights now, that KTM have crept the price up to over 12,000 USD! Once of the most expensive bikes on the market – and they’re STILL selling like hotcakes… Must be amazing, right? Well, here’s how I discovered that couldn’t be further from the truth.
