Message: [QUOTE="DougRoost, post: 1287465, member: 23019"] Thanks for adding the chart. Either bike will work, especially since that's a pretty even split between track and trail (60/40) and you're certainly big enough. To me the biggest difference between these 2 brands is they are at opposite ends of the quality spectrum. KTM's last a long time, often looking near new many, many years later, while Kawi's have a reputation for being nearly disposable bikes. In my experience, Kawi parts cost as much as KTM parts, but you replace them a lot more often. One nice thing about KTM's when you're doing the work yourself (or buying parts) is ktmtalk.com. I suspect if you check that site out you'll learn more to help you with this choice. [/QUOTE]
