Made the switch !

In the car world, we used to say "There's an #ss for every seat". That is the reason why ANY Pontiac Aztecs were sold haha.
My point being, everybody buys something different these days for one reason or another. If there's a Husky under your butt, you probably dont go around telling everyone you know how awesome a Honda is.

I own a KTM 300 XC-W, so I feel justified in commenting here. It's a great 2t bike, it's very fast and light weight. It's great on the mx track and has won quite a few desert races down here. How does it compare to my 511? It does not, no way, not going to happen.

this is true. MOstly because it's much lighter with as much power, so that power to weight ratio is what really sets it apart.

So tell me, what do you have done to your 511? Cause I'm sure you haven't kept it stock. Also what year is your 300?

Tinken has a WR511 lol

Now while I did ride a yamaha yz250 before I got my husky, I will say that it was a good bike and I think you'd be happy with one. It won't have the engine of your 300 but it will have much better suspension and handling. Plus with just a little bit of money, you can get the acerbis plastic kit and a graphics kit and you have one seriously sexy bike! Just to prove my point, I feel everyone should check out the video below and tell me if you don't think that bike is great looking (and sounding!).

What.. both my 511 and MY12 300 are completely stock...

I hate MX suspension for offroad , I don't want to buy a flywheel weight when the Ktm has a offroad crank , I don't like how the yamaha engineered around Hondas frame with the reassessed vallies that look to be hard to clean(I hated cleaning my 511), I don't like yamahas graphics , I don't like 5-SP MX trannies, I want a head light, I want no suspension linkage ! I don't like yamaha ! never have ever since my papa told be they weren't balanced right when I was 8 years old ! Yamasucky haha

You made a great decision my rearwheelin friend. Enjoy that bike. Maybe you and i will ride some day with our two 300s and see how they compare.

With about $2500 in motor work !... Pore TQ

Check out the power on this xc 300 and how forgiving it is. now way does a 511 pull this hard !

I owned a BMW I thought ? I never said I loved huskies tooth and nail I liked my 511 just had to get rid of it because by the time I wear it out I will have to take it to ZipTy and by then they will have moved on to the KTM/Husky and the 449/511 spare parts will be gone to the guys who actually ride a lot !

He didn't do any of these things your claiming.

2013 Erzberg Rodeo Start watching @ 9:30-11:30 best high light and see a 449/511...... @11:20

However, just to throw out some husky love... My 310 has superior handling by a long way over the ktm300.
