[QUOTE="fishhead, post: 193623, member: 18565"] If you post this question over on the KDX forum you'll probably get a whole slew of different answers. Ditto on the Thumper forum. How do you like your existing bike? What did you ride before? What type of trails do you ride? Whats your favorite color? do you have any unresolved conflicts in your past with other colors? How do you feel about mixing gas? Do you hate/love doing top ends? Are you prepared to spend the time to resolve this issue? In my experience the KDX will be a little nimbler at low speeds say less than 15mph. The ktm is more stable at high speed. The power on a stock 220 will pull like a tractor from the very bottom sign off soon unless the motor has some mods and the ktm has less flywheel effect at very low revs and decent overrev. The Ktm will ride over things you will and can ride around on the kdx. In a similar situation a couple of seasons ago I bought a kdx because it was a begginer freindly bike and it instilled confidence. I hadn't spent more than an occasional few minutes on anything for 30 years. Now after two seasons of riding and extensive mods to the kdx I'm looking to go orange. If i didn't start with the kdx I probably wouldn't have progressed as fast. Don't worry it's not your last bike! [/QUOTE]
