Arrow KTM...Model Opinions

Hey Everyone...

New to the forum, not to the MX/Offroad motorcycle world. Currently riding a utility quad (Yamaha Grizzly 550 FI/EPS) after giving up my YZ250 (2-stroke) a couple of years ago. I will keep my quad for sure as I enjoy its capabilities, but want more out of riding trails, single-track woods, and sand. I have my KTM search narrowed down to three model choices...the 250 SX, the 350 SX-4, and the 250 XC-W...just looking for some pro's and con's, price/money is non-issue, I'm in my early 40's...so not sure I want a two-stroke MX bike, but like the SX 250, and like the e-start on the XC-W and for the 350 4-stroke...any opinions/advice would be appreciated--Thanks

Welcome!

I can't give any first hand experience about any of those bikes,
except to say that if you google the new 350, it is amazing all
the fantastic thumbs up reviews it is given.

I wish I could say money is no object.

Money is only no object when it comes to buying the "RIGHT KTM"...I know for sure I can grab a 2011 250SX for about $6600- and the 2011 350 SX-4 for about $8,100-...they are offering $1000- cash on the 2010 250 XC-W putting it at around $6500-...is the savings between the three really worth it?? The 350 seems to be a great machine for only $1500- more $$$$, but the two-strokes are tempting...any new 350 owners out there with real world opinions of their bikes...Thanks...
