Which Bike??

[Lew]

I am sorry to bring this up again, but this new bike thing has even got me losing sleep.  I am about to drop some serious (to me) money on a new bike and I sure want to get the right one.  I have been interested in the KTM 250 exc 2 smoke for some time now.  Then I was thinking thumper cause the world seems to be going that way, so my choices (in my mind) were the Wr250f or wr450f.  So I thought I would evaluate each of their weights, which brings me back to this forum.

My current bike KDX220 - 222.6 lbs
KTM 250 exc 2 smoke - 238.4 lbs
Yamaha YZ450f - 221 lbs, now since the weight is not posted for the WR series yet, I figured that I would give it +20 lbs over the YZ leaving the WR in the neiborhood of 241 lbs +/- making it close to the KTM.  I will be using this new bike in hare scrambles and I am very afraid that the 250f might not have the ummph for my 200+lb butt.  Here is where I ask for your help..

WR450f or KTM250exc 2 smoke

Thanks for putting up with me in here and I really do appreciate everyones input.

just a question - whats wrong with the KDX?

Well I went with the KTM. Just found myself continually leaning towards it so I bought one.
Beer - Nothing wrong with the KDX, it has performed flawlessly for me, infact both that I own are rock solid. I just wanted something new and with a bit more gidy-yup
