[QUOTE="fender92883, post: 629982, member: 34340"] Ok, I'll put my foot in my mouth about that one... :scream: I DO enjoy going fast in the woods (well, about as fast as I can go on an XR200). I also realize that the KDX is designed to do very well in the woods. I also include going fast as a part of "fun trail riding" because going slow isn't fun for me. That's a matter of interpretation. I may be uninformed, but my point of view was based on something I saw this past weekend. I was at the Loose Moose National Enduro in Marquette, MI...and I swear 70%-80% of the bikes out there were KTMs. That tells me something. There were also more WRs than KDXs out there, too. MOST serious racers don't seem to go for the KDX, it's not designed for racing. You can probably make it into a racing bike, because it IS designed to go fast in the woods, but it's not a racing bike by nature. The KTM is designed for racing. The KDX and the KTM are two different classes of bike. That's what I was going for with my previous post. I wasn't ragging on the KDX or anything, I KNOW it's an awesome bike...that's why I'm going for the KDX over the XR. My dad switched from a KDX 220 to a KTM 250 EXC (many others in my riding group ride KTM, too)...and he's MUCH faster on the KTM. It's ALL a matter of personal preference and skill. It may be harder to get the KTM to be as nimble as a KDX in the woods, but if you can do it, you're going to go FAST! From how I see it, those who can make the KTM work well are greatly rewarded. Maybe I AM uninformed, but I call 'em like I see 'em. [/QUOTE]
