[QUOTE="HiG4s, post: 133072, member: 22165"] As far as maintenance goes, it has been my experience that KTMs and Euros in general are lower maintenance then the Jap racing bikes. Sure they are more maintaince than the Jap TRAIL bike, but apples shouldn't really be compared to oranges. I use to have a KTM 250exc and it was great. Before that I had a Honda XR200 and a Yamaha XT500 prior to that I had a 250 and a 125 2-stroke. the big difference for me between the 4-stroke and 2-stroke was the power surge. I personally like the 2-stroke hit when I want it. I am use to being able to break the back end loose to power slide anytime I feel like it and I could never do it consistantly with a 4-stroke. Half the time the bike would catch traction and charge off in what ever direction I happen to be pointing at the time. With the XR200 it wasn't a problem as it didn't have enough power to get me in serious trouble, but I had a couple of serious crashes with the 500 because of it. If not for my inablility to adjust to 4-stroke power deliverly I would want either a 4-stroke KTM or a VOR. But my next bike I will probably go back to the 250 EXC. [/QUOTE]
