T
hink about it. There're two main
types of motorcycle owners.
For one, there is the guy or gal
who wants a bike for every kind of
riding. They've got a fleet of motor-
cycles in the garage that includes (but
is not limited to) a motocrosser, a dual
sport, an enduro, a pit bike, etc. If
you're not this person, then you likely
know this person. Then, there's the
rider who wants one bike that does it
all. This rider makes it work in various
conditions and lands somewhere in
the middle in terms of general setup.
But what if there was a bike that did it
all? One bike that virtually eliminated
the rest of the quiver? Enter the 2023
KTM 300 SX.
KTM did it big this year. Its entire
motocross lineup (SX and SX-F mod-
els) is all new for 2023. This means
every bike received a new frame, new
swingarm, new bodywork—you name
it. The biggest news, depending on
who you ask, comes from the two-
stroke department. The premixers
stepped into the future and ditched
the classic carburetors for a full fuel-
injected system. No more carbs and
no more TPI (Transfer Port Injection).
