I kinda screwed up by riding my ATV before the comparison between the 250 and the 300 which took a lot out of me but I did my best to show you guys which bike can go better around a tight trails. After the test I decided to change the rear sprocket on the KTM to have it more evenly matched with the Yamaha to do another test on a fast phase trails.
What we're gonna do today, we're actually comparing the YZ250 to the KTM 300 on my
trail, my technical trail, which one is faster by timing the lap. So we'll see.
In my last video, I said probably the KTM would win because precisely that bike is the way they
build it. But we'll see. We just had the... We don't need to timing this, we just...
Yeah, I just gotta... We're just gonna get it going now.
Okay. I don't know.
Two laps and this bike has really grown on me. So sore, I feel, after that ATV riding.
So let's see. Where are we? I'm gonna ask him how we are so far.
How was it?
They were both about the same 20 seconds.
20 seconds?
28 seconds?
Okay, so that's pretty consistent.
All right, so let's pick up the KTM then.
All right, so let's see what we can do on the KTM.
For the lap time.
Yeah, the easy button.
The YZ, I went with second gear.
This one, I'm in third gear.
This one is much more taller.
I can go.
The suspension on this one is just as good as you can get for the YZ.
The same.
Pretty much has the same setup as the one, the KYB.
Responsive as the YZ.
But also I'm in third gear.
Oh, come on baby.
I'm really curious which one I am faster with on the track.
Oh my god.
Okay, after this one, I'm gonna check the time.
I messed up.
How are you doing on time?
27 and 29.
Okay, so we got 27 and 29.
I messed up the second one.
Okay, let's do one more time.
Well, I think I'm too tired to burn another one.
It's really close.
We're gonna...
It's really consistent.
So I always...
This one, I'm catching.
So one more time.
See if I did 29.
I feel like I'm going faster.
You ready?
I'm doing second gear now.
30?
30.
That was second gear.
Okay.
You got 27, 29, 29, 30.
That was second gear.
I guess I gotta give it to the YZ.
Because I said on the video, this one's probably faster.
But actually, the YZ was faster and consistent.
It was about a second or two.
Yeah.
