KTM 250's

Hey guys, I was looking at the ktms and they are looking really good. im trying to find a bike that i can ride in open spaces, trails, woods and just overall fun with buddies and stuff. I was looking at the KTM 250MXC, EXC and they seem 2 be the better choose. How do they compare to other 250's(honda, yamaha etc.) I am 5'9-10ish and i weigh 145. If these bikes are not for me then what would be a better choice? I really like the MXC and most are a reasonable price. what do you think? thanks

Anyone? anyone? bueller?

..... no one rides ktms these days... no one can help!?!?
