I just got off the phone line with my local KTM dealership inquiring about a 2011 KTM-300xc & his words were> All sold out! I then asked about a Husqvarna 300wr, He said he can get one of them in but then he said I have a GasGas 300wr & a GasGas 300xc w/e-start & he would let the e-start model go for $6849.00 out the door! Great deal I know but I finally got enough cash to spend it on what I really want & that's a "11" KTM-300xc & he could'nt tell me to much about the 2012's understandablely other than he'll get the 2012's in around September so I guess I'll have to wait or find a shop that still has a "11" katoom 300xc in! >:(
-
Yes, according to MXA, all 2 stroke KTMs are sold out. If you are set on a 2012, put something down, with receipt. Because they sold out fast, with waiting lists. Good luck. Just got my 2007 KTM 250xcw last week and rode it on saturday. Although it is older, I liked it. I really will like a newer version I'm guessing.
-
Friend just sold his 011 300XC and bought a new Husky WR300,didn't like the KTM but loves the WR.
-
I'd wait to see what the '12 is like. Ask em if you can take it for a test ride ;D
-
call sms racing in denton, tx ask for brian storrie I bet he can find you one.

My local shop had several smokers... I tried not to look tooooo closely as I passed by... I want one and its not in the cards for now.... The shop is All Pro Motor Sports in Weirton WV. Its about 20 miles southwest of Pittsburgh Pa.
-
Thanks for all of the great advice guys! I called Cernics in Sommerset,PA. but they are closed on Wed. so I'll try them tommorrow & then check sms racing in TX.where ktm150rippa told me to. If possible I would really like to find one closer to Md. but if not I'll travel or put a down payment on a 2012! It sucks though I don't have a ride right now..... :(
-
If Cernics has one and you make the trip, let me know. I am about 30 minutes from there.
-
If you're not that far from Pittsburgh PA, give All Pro a call, they're only 20 min South West of the burg.. I know they had smokers on the floor... Like I said, I had to cover my eyes, as a new ride is not in the cards right now... (304) 797-1500. Its worth a call.
-
call ktm world in cedeartown ga they have any 2 stroke model and a ride park with over 70 miles of trails to test that sucker out on im either getting the gasser or a 11 ktm and trust me you wont find better service than at ktm world as tony tiger would say... THERE GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! there number is 770 748 0771 or visit their web site at ktmworld.com they have the 300 sc in stock right now

eprovenzano I've checked everywhere for a 2011 300xc & the # you gave me @ All Pro Motor Sports is my last hope.I will most definetly call them 1st thing in the morning to see what they have in stock.So far though I think my only option unfortunetly will have to be putting a down payment on a 2012 either @ my local dealership or @ Cernics in PA. They are the closet Katoom dealers near my home. Thanks for the help! :)

wait for 2012!!
it looks so much better!!!

So I emailed Bentley's in Murrysville, PA (near Monroeville) for you. I used to wrench there about 11 years ago and know they used to have a big inventory of KTM's. This is the response I got:
"We do have two or three left. Give me a call if your interested.
Thanks,
Robin Campbell (724)325-2344"
Might be worth calling them. Edit: I verified and they say they have 2 300XC's in stock.

I'm calling them right now Coop. Thanks for the info because I've called every shop that this site has posted for me from Texas,Georgia,Ohio,Pennsylvania ,West Virginia & the only shop that had a KTM-250xc in stock was KTM World in Georgia & he said he would sell that ride to me & install his last 300cc kit for a little over $8400.00!!! I would'nt have enough to get a spark arrester & I really don't want to travel quite that far but Murraysville,PA would be worth the trip for sure!!! ;D

-
Awesome!
-
I'm jealous. I hope it all works out for you
-
Awesome!
You r the man Coop! I took the trip to Bentleys in Murraysville PA & they had 2 300xc's left & I went up to the one on the floor & started to push it to the back of the shop & one of the emplyees said "that's not ur bike.urs is already in the back ready to be loaded" lol. So I went back to check my ride out & the guy takes me to his office & had me sign some paper work and I paid him cash for the bike plus bought some 2t oil a pair of fox gloves & loaded the bike with help from one of Robins' employees & then headed back to Maryland with a smile on my face. :D

I'm jealous.

I'm jealous.
Don't worry eprovenzano you can take a ride on it. We all "at least the ones in the tri-state region"need to get together & find a good place to go for a ride & you can ride my Katoom bro & I have to give Coop a chance to ride it if he wants because he led me to Robins Shop in Murraysville PA. & they still have 1 300xc left.Give me a call @ 240-920-8392 if you want Eric or Coop. :)
-
I wish I knew when you were going to be there, I would have met you out there. I am happy it worked out!
Now we need pics :D .
-
Pics. and a ride report. ;D
Has anyone on here rode the KTM 300 and the GG 300? The katoom seems to be a big bike (ergonimic wise). I'm only 5' 9" , 155 lbs. It seems most smaller guys prefer the GG.
-
I was surprised when I took it on my 1st ride after I got home Monday from Bentleys! The suspension on the 2011 seemed to be stiffer than my 08 but I'm sure it just needs more riding to get the initial stiffness out of the rear shock. Bentleys set the bike up for my weight but I did notice that I either got shorter or the 2011 Katoom got a bit taller! lol. Overall I'm 100% satisfied with the bike as well as Bentleys & their excellent service! I bought some 2t & trans oil plus some engine ice coolant & a new pair of fox gloves, the same kind of fox dirtpaws like I had but they were worn badly so I picked up a new pair. I'll go today & pick up a new digital cam since my last one got lost in my step fathers trunk & when I found it it was baked So after a Doctors appt. I'll go get the cam & snap some pics & put them up............... :)
-
Sweeeet ;D cant wait to see it.

After I went to my docs appointment today I first stopped by my ex-wifes work place to hopefully get some metric torx bits or sockets because she gives me her discount price @ Fastenal but they did'nt have any in stock so I had her order me a set of 3/8 drive sockets with torx bits on them & then I stopped down @ a local discount store to get my digital cam & when I got home the directions on the olympus cam said to charge it for 5 hours so I put it on charge but by that time it was to dark to take a decent pic but I'll definitley get some pics of my Ktm 300 up tomorrow for sure! I also would like some advice on which skid plate I should order tomorrow for my ride? Rocky Mountain ATV & MC has a "Richochet" 3/16" aircraft aluminum that kind of raps around the lower part of the engine for $82.95 & they also said they have a KTM plastic skid plate with a quick fastener for $99.99 & if my order is $100.00 the 3-day shipping is free so to take advantage of that I'm going to order some Oakley crowbar goggles for $65.00 even though I still have my old practcally ancient Scott goggles! Any advice on the skid plates would be greatly appreciated! :)

What kind of riding do you do? Do you race?
-
I am glad you finally got the bike you wanted, I see you are really dedicated to the KTM brand. Don't forget that you get 10% off RMATV parts through the Indigo Racer website. Just put the RM part number on the parts request form.
Enjoy your new ride!

Thanks IndigoRacer & I definetly will buy my parts off of your site! I recently took a couple pics of my new ride but I'm having a hard time getting them downloaded from my jpg files! I got 4 great pics but for some reason I can't download them to the TSM site from my files? I owned a 2008 KTM-300xc & did'nt have any problems with that bike so that's pretty much why I got another katoom thanks to Coop sending me to Bentleys'. The 2011 300xc does handle a good bit better than my ol' "08" & I'm glad because It'll be quite a while before I will be able to get a newer bike but I'm fine with that because I love the torque & power this bike has!!! :o

Here is an easy way to get your pics on here:
1. Make a photobucket.com account
2. Upload the photos to your photoshop.com page
3. Copy the [IMG] link and paste it here for the photo to show up, or just copy the URL and paste it here, but the photo wont show up that way.
Or you can send the pics to my email and I can do it for you :)

ACMX I just went ahead & e-mailed you a pic of my ride because I'm having problems trying to download the pic & pics myself.I greatly appreciate you helping me out with this! I never was good @ computer tech @ all....lol. As for your earlier ?? "do I race?". I do not race I've just rode dirtbikes & some atv's since I was 7yrs. old & I love to ride offroad in the tight woods as well as on all of the rocky fire roads around MD,WV,PA. I occasionally ride on some of the outdoor MX tracks in my tri-state area as well as Ohio & Indiana whenever I go out there to visit my Father & brother,sister etc. I'm 40yrs. old & I was diagnosed with MS aka Multiple Sclerosis when I was 26yrs. old but fortunately I'm still able to ride & function well but I do have occasional flare ups that sometimes keep me in bed for up to 1 week to about a month! It sucks to say the least but riding keeps me going for sure! Especially a great running smoker!!! Thanks again for your help ACMX! :)

Thanx ACMX. I got that helmet @ my local Yamaha/Suzuki dealership & they told me that Answer used to make the same helmet but the one I got is a MSR. I ordered a skidplate as well as a pipe guard for my bike & I'm hoping they get here tomorrow! All yeah I also "just today" ordered a enduro engineering S/A.....to make it legal in this crazy state I live in....lol... ;D

Very nice!

Thanks Coop & EJ! Give me a call when you get a chance Coop so maybe we can set up a offroad excursion in the tri-State or even the four-State!......... ;D 240-920-8392.
