I'm going to buy a new bike in the Spring and have narrowed it to these three. I can get a pretty good deal on either in a 2003 model. I like the WR450 the best and had decided to buy it, but I am scared off by the Woodruff key failures everybody is talking about and Yamaha's seeming lack of support. Should I spend the extra money to buy a 2004 (would that help) or go with one of the others. I like the apparent reliability of the DRZ but it is a bit heavy. The KDX is nice too, but I don't like the idea that it hasn't been updated in years. It is definitely the cheapest. I can get the best deal on the DRZ. The WR is a bit pricey really for my budget but I could manage. I ride rocky trails, mostly 2 or 3rd gear. I'm no pro but I'm not a beginner either. I will not be racing the bike at all. Please...help me decide!
PS. KTM is not available in my area and neither is the KDX200
