RMZ250 Vs. KTM250SXF

[---RiLeY---151---]

Hello, so in awhile I'm going to get a 250f...
I have no idea which to pick from, I have came down to these two here a RMZ or KTM..
Which do you think will be a better buy?

RMZ corners like no other but since your short the KTM has electric start which is a plug in my mind. Never ridden a KTM250 though.

I can't speak from a '13 to a '13 but I went from a '11 Ktm to a '13 Suzuki and I'm am more than happy with the switch. I had a bad experience with my Ktm so I can't speak with them as a whole, specially for the 13's as I only had 2011 but it seems many people had the same problems as I did. To me it just seems as the Ktm's are just not ment for a serious racer, they seem to be a multi purpose bike more geared towards endur0. There both not bad bikes, the Suzuki just fit me better, it all really comes down to what color you want.

Although if you are looking at contingency, don't go with Ktm. I got completely screwed out of $400 of contingency last year, got nothing from it. They are also pretty difficult to get parts for depending on where you live.

KTM have done a shittone of work since 2011 it's a different machine now. Don't know much more than that though...

Havent ridden the '13 ktm 250f but have ridden their 150 2 stroke and the thing felt awful under breaking and turning. Rode a 13 zook with a yosh and almost died because it turned so well and had decent power. I have an '11 rmz with performance factory suspension and that turns even better than the '13 I rode. Call me biased, but I vote yellow.

I rode a 13' ktm 250f, it was great.

ktm has some good points: electric start, brembo brakes, hydraulic clutch some sick stock triple clamps a superb motor and you actually dont need even an aftermarket pipe.
i havent ridden any rmz since their 2011 model, but i think in the end its just what color you like the best

orange(greeeeeen FTW) for me!

Does the 250 have an electric start now?

[MX PRODIGY 17]

RMZEDDD!!! But, What kind of dealerships are you by? I get helped out a lot by a Suzuki, Honda dealership so I would not go anything different of those.

It's had electric start since at least 2011.

[KTM57]

I didn't know that. I definitely thought that was a 450-exclusive feature.

[Andy_Hack]

2012 to be exact
well there are some problems, when the battery is empty you cant do a shit to get it running
having both a kickstarter and an e starter like in the past EXCs was a quite good idea tho.

ahh come one dude, just buy a kay EX EFFFFF

Get a YZ. can't go wrong with a yamaha.
