[QUOTE="copyguy, post: 419633, member: 16892"] Lew, The KTM definitely has better quality components. The only thing I have added is handguards. With the KDX I had a lot of aftermarket parts and a huge list of other things I wanted. The KTM's engine is much more capable, you won't have a problem with that. The KTM will be better in the rough stuff if you are going fast, it's just that if you are casually picking your way through rocks or trees I think the KTM will work you more. 3rd gear and below was great on the KDX, at that speed the suspension was smooth and the bike was comfortable. It even felt like it turned quicker than the KTM but I haven't set my suspension up yet. When speed increases or you push the bike harder the KTM can handle it much better, the suspension soaks up the big hits well and the bike seems more stable along with being a lot faster. Bottom line is that I would never go back, but your going to have to make that decision based on the type of riding you do. You might describe exactly what you mean by "grunt and effort", is it a chassis shortcoming or power? or both? Just one more thought to ponder, if you really want the bike and it's a good deal how bad will you kick yourself later if you pass it up? I passed up a great deal on a 300exc last year and was mad about it until the 250exc was on sale this year. Good luck [/QUOTE]
