Overview
KTM 300 GS Enduro
The original 300GS Enduro grew out of the experience with 250 cc Penton Hare
Scrambler and other KTM air cooled 2-stroke enduro bikes. Since the 1986
rules for the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) for the open class
allowed any bike larger that 250 cc, KTM started work on a water cooled
over-250 cc bike for the open class.
They essentially bored their 250 out to 273 cc and called it a 300. This version of the 300 was discontinued in 1987.
KTM also tried sleeving down their 500 cc two-stroke to 350 cc calling it the 350GS, but the left side kick-starter and the right side chain were not popular.
