[QUOTE="MCassle, post: 89388, member: 22945"] I'm sure you've all heard this ? before, but I was thinking of swapping my KLX300 for a 400cc thumper and the KTM E/XC is on the list. My question is what makes the KTM a better bike? I've noticed that the parts are of a higher quality, such as the bars, hydraulic clutch, etc. But is the price of the KTM 400 compared to, say, a WR worth it? I've never had a KTM, and have never been riding with anyone that has a KTM so I'm not familiar with the brand at all. Any reliability issues (like a Husaberg)? Is the linkless rear suspension tough to get used to? One last question...I'm a bit confused between the E/XC & M/XC models. Everything is the same on the KTM spec sheets except the Close Ratio/Wide Ratio gear boxes, and the size of the fuel tank. Wondering why the enduro model would have a smaller tank...mabey due to the various gas stops/availables? I trail ride mostly and my KLX (stock) get's almost 100 miles to a tank. The E/XC model is 1.3 gallons less than the M/XC model. Going far without having to trek it back to the truck for gas is important to me. Anyways, I ride mostly trails with an occasional enduro, which model E or M is best suited for that type of riding? Sorry, I'm a rookie matt in Clovis [/QUOTE]
