[QUOTE="DougRoost, post: 729303, member: 23019"] KTMs are hard to beat....yes the KDX (or even Japanese MXers) is cheaper initially, but by the time you replace the bars, rims, chain, pipe, etc. you could have had a KTM. And the KTM's offer powdercoated frames, braided stainless brake lines, Brembo brakes (ala Formula 1), plated pipes, ProTaper bars, etc. The SX are the MX models (as in SuperCross), while the E/XC's are for Enduro/Cross Country. And M/XC are Motocross/Cross Country (essentially an E/XC with close ratio tranny). The E/XC is really the way to go since you get the wide ratio gearbox and all the other off-road goodies like 18" rims, spark arrestor, lighting coil, etc. In 2 stroke E/XC's, they make a 200, 250, and 300 and it's nice to have choices, but can be confusing (they're all good). In 4 strokes, they make E/XC 250, 450, and 525s (the 250 is pretty gutless, though). Check out this month's Dirt Rider mag where the KTM 300 E/XC is considered the ultimate off-road bike, with a powerband that's more 4 strokish than many 4 strokes. There's a reason this is KTM's best selling bike worldwide... [/QUOTE]
