If your main concern is having the same model the pros use, then I guess you better buy a Kawasaki.

I was torn between the same two brands and I went for KTM because of the amount of crap that's already on it. You cant beat a stock ktm, from the Hydraulic clutch to the electric start. Its the best thing ever. I vote KTM. And she does look good in the garage

I can't speak for anything else about them, but the 2015 KTMs do look incredibly good. It took me a while to get over the 07-10 body style (still the best KTMs IMO) but the orange frame and the new OEM graphics are just beautiful.

Are you racing? If not a 2015 KTM 250SX would be a great choice. From what I have read the Kawasaki motor is better than the KTM. KTM motor is more centered around top end. Both bikes have +'s and -'s in this day and age I'm sure you cant go wrong with either brand.

Also about the 10 hour oil changes is fine you could even go longer depending on the conditions and how hard you ride. Most of the manuals service intervals are for pros/racers who are riding the bikes very hard. No way the oil will get too dirty after 2 rides you are just throwing away good oil. The manual is simply a guide for keeping your machine in peak performance for racing.
