O.K. I wasn't going to get into this but here it is. First of all TonyKX or anybody else doesn't have the right to slam any other bike untill they have spent some time on it, not just one ride or one day. The WR250 may be a better bike in certain situations with a certain rider aboard, just as the KLX may be better in other situations. A friend of mine has a KTM520 and will kick my ass all day in the open stuff, but give me a tight woods trail on my STOCK KLX and watch out. Put Shane Watts on an XR200 and he'll kick all of our asses. Rider ability, as far as I'm concerned is 80% of the equation. I am a tournament archer and will beat most shooters with a $100.00 bow while they shoot $2,000.00 bows. I am also a skeet shooter and will beat $5,000.00 guns with my $200.00 gun. If you want to state facts about bikes, fine, but keep your unfounded opinions to yourself. The KLX is a GREAT bike. Period. By the way, I haven't had to replace the crank yet, nor do I know of any other KLX's that have. I'de rather be riding mine than telling people I have a dead one in the garage. Now I'm done.:D (anything to add Penguin???)
