Wuds riders? (KTM question)

Trying to convince myself that the best way to fix the head on my XR-250 is to replace it with a new KTM-450 EXC. Don't feel like taking it apart, putting new rings in, getting the valves seats reground, possible new piston, new valves and new cam chain. Seems like it would be much easier to just take my bark busters off and put them on a new KTM and call the XR "fixed".
Anyone with a KTM tell me about their likes/dislikes of them?

Thanks,
~Rob

Smile Ktm 525 exc

Sounds like a good plan to me. Though I would personally get the 525 exc as it has a better bottom end grunt like your truck. It's nice to have the extra power.

I took my 05 and put a "trickdualsport.com" kit on it and drive it on the street. Don't lean over to far though you'll run out of tire.

Next year the super motard tires and rims will be on it. Good bye license.

While i don't own a KTM , Lots of ppl in my riding club have them and love them !! I know several ppl with a 525 and a 360 and i've never heard a complaint from any of them . I would say buy one , you won't be disappointed .
