2022 KTM 125 SX vs 2022 KTM 250 SXF 

Mad respect to the first guy for riding his own ride, and not trying to “keep up” with the other riders. Well done, my man.

this is such a good way of doing these bike comparison videos with 4 differently skilled riders! hope to see you do this more!

I'm definetly giving you and cameraman cam the views and the likes.

Great having a beginning rider in the mix.

Ha! You got the Boricua testing too! Pretty darn cool, got the A,B,C rider in there. He got to take a trip, train, factory jersey, bike tester, AND youtube star. Lol. Good stuff!

Very good video! It is nice to see different level riders ride these machines. Anyone who loves riding can relate to one of these riders. It'll be cool to see more videos like this on other types of bikes and different tracks. Well done guys and good content AJ.

beginner review: "the brakes work really good" haha that would be me

Good video, I just traded my 2017 YZ250F for a 2018 KTM 150SX I will try it tomorrow!! I am really excited after watching this video!! Keep it up the good work buddy

Awesome way to review and compare bikes! Man this looks like a blast!

Man you (AJ) ripped that 125 tiddler around that track like noone I've ever seen! Super impressive that you were actually faster on the 125. At 200-ish lbs I'm too heavy for a 125 2 stroke, but for someone 140-160 lbs I'd say that bike is perfect. If only the AMA would allow 125s and 150s to line up against 250Fs I think they could be competitive.

Love the testing keep it up !

That was a really good comparison video! Dam! you're fast, Aj!

Awesome video, a video with the new yamaha yz125 vs the ktm sx 125 is a must !

The title totally had me think 250sx like 2 stroke

I wonder how everyone’s lap times would have changed with some really cheap mods to the 125, especially Eriks. Flywheel weight, getting the head cut, and even changing the power valve springs change the power a lot. Really surprised on AJ’s results the most, thought the 125 wouldn’t even be close (I know, the shifting issues on the 250.). Our local pro is the same way on his 150sx over his 450. His results are actually about the same on either in Supermoto. Only really takes the 450 out for a huge track we have

What’s up aj I love your training videos I put all your tips in my riding

The second Corner after your Finish Line jump made you faster on that 125 you took that corner so smooth it was Unreal 13:30 to 13:47 you picked up at least a half second on the 250

Lol I knew the higher skilled rider would be faster on the 2 stroke. Rode a 2021 KTM 150sx a week ago and was my first time on a 2 stroke in 14 years and I was hauling on the bike!

Your doing some good positive things AJ, keep it up brotha, all good things come in full circle, one day I’ll be a winner I need a bike it’s been to long, much love........

I love You Rockin the BABBITTS I learned how to "KILL THE TRACK" On a 86' CR5OO In 94' Then in 2001 I bought a New CR500, late 30s and threw my 40s was cleaning out all jumps corners ,tracks. 56 now and been still killing it🏁 KX 450 09 Stacks up well against cr 500 got both and great suspension guy🏁 Ride on AJ and the rest of every body.

Hi aJ I love your videos they help me out a lot.

Thank you for this Video I am just starting back riding at (55) and riding a KX100 struggling a bit with riding in the power ban all the time always feeling like I'm in the wrong gear or to nervous to go up the next gear when coming in corners or jumps. being 5'2 .120lb the bike feels perfect for size . People say will be easier for me to ride the 250 sxf .. after watching the video they might be right :) thank you I enjoy all your vids

No shifting issues on my 22 350sxf yet. Had that issue on my 18 150sx for a few hours

Great video AJ, Awesome giveaway opportunity to come ride for a few hours with you. I'll just keep watching the videos and hopefully learn here and there when I ride my old crf450r in the small turns track I got. Also yeah can't go wrong with 2 stroke ktms would love a 125!

I think every bike review should be done with completely different skillsets so each class of rider knows what would suite them best. Well done!

Good video mate

So for the 250, about the hard shifting, is there a forum I can find online to figure out how to fix it? Like is it something to do with the clutch or the actual transmission itself?

This multi-range rider lineup was super insightful. Thank you

Have never seen you ride/review a 350SXF. that would be an interesting one

I'm tossing up between ktm n yz... that new yz curious on the motor

Aj!!! I got my 2022 ktm 250sxf about a month ago and it's awesome. I test a lot of bikes and the ktm fit me the best

This is how reviews should be done. Awesome job.

Man I super curious of the YZ125 22. Get that bike on man.

I'm currently running Matt Boni #109 07' kx450.. all PC bike.. its Ridiculous to say the least.. but I gotta get a 2t back in my stable

I don’t have a whole lot of time intel I grow out of my 85 Sx. Not sure which 125 to get

I have the 2022 ktm 125sx. That bike makes alot of power stock. It's amazing.

I think everyone looks safer and fast on the 250 but in the case of Aj he got a better time on the 125 cuz he managed to stay low on the "triple" in the middle cuz he couldn't develop the power delivery on the 125 like in 250

My 2021 350SXF has the same issue shifting from 2nd to 3rd under load. Drives me nuts some times but Im also kind of used to because my 14 KX250F had the same exact issue. Hope you can make it to MN someday. Would love to take one of your classes!

Kind of amazing for a bike that hasn’t had a lot of upgrades since 2006, and it can still bring the heat with new tech bikes✌️Popping smoke BluCru rolling!

Have you ridden a 250sx or TC with ktm 300 kit?

I would love to see you test out the TM bikes. There's little to no love for them stateside, but they're super nice

Awesome with the range of riders, YZ125 2022 the Japanese come back. 🇦🇺🇺🇸

Dang, you should ride 125's more often! Looked real comfortable on it!

When my brother and i raced, I was on 250f and he was on 125 2t. We'd swap back and for for a shot now and then. Going from the 4t to the 2t I couldn't believe how much the weight difference was! The 2t was so light and flickable, but I had to dedicate 50% of my brain to keeping the thing on pipe. For me as an older (and slightly unfit) guy, the 4t is where it's at. It's like riding an automatic. Stick it in 3rd and ride 80% of the track, concentrate on lines and make use of the engine braking. I have to be honest with myself about how fast I actually am, and how fast I could be. So buying wise, when I look at the price of the 125 next to the 250f there is no competition. The 250f wins every time. The 2ts are a lot more expensive than I think they probably should be. If the price difference was greater, I may be swayed.

My teenager wants the 125, guess I will have to fold. It is a heck of a lot better than my cr125 back in the day. Thanks for the videos. ✌

How long have you been riding for on the track AJ?

AJ you are now a two stroke guy!

Can we get a review of a 1981 Maico 490?

Getting NASTY with those whips AJ

My 2019 250 had problems shifting from 2nd to 3rd for the first hour and a half

I have the same bike with 10 hours on it. I’ve not noticed any shifting problems.

I just got a 125 2022 ktm..im very happy..always had 250fs 450s and and getting old..i can ride longer and have a blast..u get people bagging ya about cc..but iride at least

As expected, the smoker rocks. Love my 250sx.

Hi aj I was at the Williston for the first day it was sosoososos hot though

Next time you do class in Louisiana, you can give my 150sx a go against something else. Would like to see you do an orange bike buffet match-up. 125sx, 150sx, 250sxf, 250sx, 350sxf, then the 450sxf 👀👀👀

Can u do a small wheel 125 vs big wheel 125

Hey, what's a thing I can do to train my mind to be on the balls of my feet more often? I find myself on the arches more often then not and I am just trying to train that out

Outro song?

ស្រឡាញ់ណាស់ចង់ទិញ❤❤🎉

Please do the blue bike comparison

Im no one to judge but will say that Aj you’re opinion in this video counts the most simply because the others don’t really know how to ride a 125 properly, 125’s really reward those who ride them hard and if your a beginner rider that’s not aggressive you will probably hate it lol.. Daniel is a good rider but the way he was breaking and cornering on it you could tell he doesn’t have much experience riding one.. I’m sure if he spent some time on it he would be great.

Great comparison video! A brand new KTM that has shifting problems. Yep, that sounds like a KTM! LOL

Common problem with the shifting but you can fix it. Take the clutch cover off and basket out then you will find bolt 18 is loose, lock tite and put back together.

id love to be your Cam-ish lever rider if youre ever in California

You guys need a small disc with a rolling basket on the back for that track.

I got the 2022 250 and it shifts like butter to 3rd

my dads last 2 stroke was a 1987 kx 250 and it was new

The 2 stroke was jetted way rich although that affected the fast guys less I think.

Just my opinion but with the better engine breaking of the 4stroke they rolled the corners alot better ...

I bought my son the '22 150 SX and for the life of me can't seem to get the jetting right. I even installed a JD Jet Kit and keep trying to get it tuned right and it keeps blowing through spark plugs. I don't know what to do anymore. Other than that, the bike is amazing.

Now that I see you guys are having that same shifting problem as me, I now think it is my '21 501s and not me cause I have the same problem from 2->3.

AJ should Race a 250f in the pro nationals, no pointing out or age limit there

My 2022 250sxf trans is perfect

have you tested a gasgas yet

Hear the ping! See the smoke! Look out, you just got passed by a two stroke :). Love these break downs.

Any chance of a husky fc350 review?? Great review

2 stroke sure sounds better!

New gearbox. Shifting always a little stiff for the first 10-12 hours

One question I have about the test....did you guys ride a number of laps on your own bikes prior to testing the KTM's? Always better test a new bike after having got in the flow on your own bike.

Nice

The 250 is so fun !

Excellent for Spanish viewers!

This video right here shows why 2 strokes are truly a race bike. The 4 stroke was just sounding horrible and not fun to watch. The 2 stroke was entertaining and this is what attracts fans and especially our youth. The sound is very important and even more important than the speed of the bike. I liked seeing both level riders on the bikes. Great job and both did so much better in the 2 strokes

wasnt surprised the 125 was the fastest with a pro. the 2 middles guys i had thought the laps looked faster on the 125 then aj proved it

AJ did the 125 justice by whippin that 250 lol

I wish there was a 350 class

The first guy was a very good example of four stroke is more responsive

New bike reviews should always be up against 125 👍😎👍. “ it was good but not as fun….”

Is Cam B level?

Everytime I see you ride this track dry it makes me want to pull my hair out

AJ needs to get a 2-stroke!

You were right. Fun format! Were both bikes broken in and had an oil change? I bet that would help the 250 shift problems as KTM knows by now how to make transmissions.

If you know how too ride a 2-stroke you can be just as fast or faster than a 4-stroke. A 2-stroke just isn’t as easy too ride fast

Ktm builds great bikes

En gros quand t'es fort le 2t vas plus vite que le 4t

So Im not the only one about shifting on the ktm

prime example of keeping the wheels on the ground faster doesnt mean you have to jump "certain" triples as triples if you landing and on the gas wide open people ask how my laps faster when i dont jump certain jumps all the way and always tell them i make it up my hitting my turns like a text book,JUMP FOR SHOW AND CORNER FOR DOUGH!!! All about the technique and anyone can jump a jump but not everyone can drag bats and have a footpeg rut next to main rut LMAO

125 is the only way to learn improve and maintain the correct ride technic

I wonder if you’ll ever get the chance to ride a 2001 cr125 ! Love the videos man learning a lot from you

Who’s ready for camp at pineville
