kdx 200 vs klx 300 vs wr 250

I currently own a 94 kdx 200 with fmf pipe, power reeds, and other tweaks. I love the bike, but was wondering how it campares to the klx 300 and wr 250. I have a friend who saids the new wr 250f (four cycle) has the handling and horse power of the kdx 200. How does the weight compare?

Well you can compare yourself:

You can get all the specs you would like there. The WRs are nice bikes. Once they are tuned by changing to YZ specs and cutting a few wires they are better. They are a newer bike which is still more MX oriented than the KDX200/220 bikes.

The sites don't show dry weight or horse power of the bikes.

My good friend and riding buddy has the 2002 wr250f, I have the 2001 220 with the usual mods. We have switched bikes on and off and here is my opinion(emphasis on opinion). The two are pretty matched for tight woods/ hs use, so as far as power delivery it would be a preference as to 2 vs 4 stroke. The wr suspension was real good in stock form for my weight. The negatives I noticed on the wr are - weight carries higher, heavier, hard starting, even after you know the drill on starting compared to my 2 smokes one kick and rip. The seat on the wr is about a comfy as a piece of plywood.

I'm wondering the same thing kind of. Would a KDX 200 or 220 be faster or more powerful than my KLX300?
