Thanks, mx289.. I love the new KTM 2 strokes. What kind of riding do you do?

I've ridden Yamaha's and Honda's prior to switching to the Orange side. If you ride mostly trails I'd go with the XC model, but if you're like me and ride mostly track than the SX is the way to go. My only complaint and it's not really that bad, but the first thing I would change on my KTM is having the suspension re-valved and sprung for your correct weight. I haven't done mine yet, but it my first upgrade I will do. In stock form it beats the crap out of me sometimes.. Through the woop sections is feels very march mellow, like.
