I'd rather a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

If you don't fall off you are not going hard enough

Reviews like that is exactly why I don't ride a "newer" KTM 300.  I know I can't afford one right now, and I don't want to make my old girl ( 2000 300 EXC) look old or feel outdated...  I've been to a few KTM days, and only rode the 144/150. but drooled all over the 300's.

I gotta tell ya enprovenzano your 2000 KTM-300exc still looks great and I can tell by the pics that you take really good care of your Katoom..! One other thing I like about your 300exc is unlike my 300xc your ride has lights & the enduro rear fender in which case my ride has neither.. :-[

That's similar to how I bought my 08 KTM-300 as the 09's were already in the shop so I made the dealer an offer that saved me $1250.00 & the dealer was more than happy to get the left over Katoom off the showroom floor & I was quite happy to save alot of money! I think nowadays if possible everybody looking to save money on a newer or leftover bike should make a low offer because usually the dealer will take the offer to make room for the new models coming in.... ;D

Ford if your wife is anything like my ex-wife she's probably picking the money right out of your pocket and into hers! Your the,or her personal money tree.... :o

Honestly Ford I was just joking.At least about your wife but definetly NOT about my ex-wife!
 I happen to be friends with her new husband & when I go down to their house to visit my ex-stepson he's ( the new husband) always asking me if she ( my ex-wife) has always spent money like she does? So I have to tell him the truth and the answer to that question is ever since I met her she has always spent our money like the end of the freakin' world was coming or something!
 I also tell her new hubby that she's your problem now not mine....lol,lol,lol... ;D  :P  :D  ;)
