[QUOTE="biglou, post: 428763"] Keep in mind that most of this is JMHO: I don't think you could go wrong with either of these bikes. The differences in the two will be the color, the kTm will have some better components (chain, handlebars, juice clutch), and the WR will weigh a bit more (10-20 lbs?). The gearing will be in the same ballpark-wide ratio. Both will be E-start. The jetting on the kTm should not be much of an issue, if at all. I think it will come down to what flavor you prefer best! Parts cost and availability will be comparable. Service intervals/intensity might be slightly higher for the kTm. Not sure if they are keeping the dual oil filters and relatively low oil capacity as the previous EXC's had. The new WR is slimmer than the previous ones, it got a smaller tank, and a flatter seat-tank junction. It looks like it closely resembles the 02 and later YZF's shape. The fuel capacity is down by about a gallon over last year's model. A lot of people changed out their seat and tank to the YZF parts to slim the bikes down. Personally, I'd buy the ktm, but in the long run, you will probably be just as happy with either. Heads, kTm. Tails, WR? :) Also-Those prices seem a bit high. You can probably do better on both of those bikes if you shop around. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
