Hmm, i need some advice please...
I have a 97 ktm 250 exc which i have alot of fun on. I am thinking of getting a new bike though. My previous bike was a kdx 200 which i could throw around and bend through the trees pretty well. I am considering either a ktm 250 exc or a 200 exc. What do you guys think? I ride in the muddy rooty northwest trails. I am 6'2" 180ish. Mostly trailriding, poker runs and hare scrambles. Do ya think a new 200 would have the power to compare with a fresh 97 ktm 250? How is the handling on them? Will i need to do suspension work? I know i would love the lighter weight on the 200. How much more aggressive do you need to be on the 200? Does anyone have anything to add which would make this decision easier? Are there any known problems with either bike? I am leaning toward the 200 based on weight but loved the 250 I have now.
Thanks
J~
