2015 KTM 350sxf?

I've been thinking recently and since I'm coming off a modded yz250 with roughly 50hp, I was going to get a 250f but the 350f has really caught my eye recently. it would be about 10 more pounds than the 250f and about 5hp more than my current bike. Has anyone here rode one (maybe a 2014?) that could give their opinion on the bike? Im 6'0 165lbs and my original thought was to get a 250f but what do you guys think?

I rode a 2015 at a ride day, and it was awesome. Has just as much power as the 450 as long as you are in the right spot in the RPMs. I felt like it handled better than the 450 too. Just like people say, it doesn't have the arm-tearing bottom end torque that the 450 does, so it's easy and fun to ride. I would definitely recommend it.

whats your thoughts on someone like me getting it at my size and being C class? I just like to ride for fun and do some races here and there. I felt most comfortable on a 250f and i dont like my 250 2 stroke because of the vibration but the power is nice. My only thought about this was is it going to feel to heavy for me since i hate 450's for that.

I'm 6'2" and 275 lbs, and I'm mid/back of the pack in C class. I didn't really try on the 250f because you weren't allowed to ride your own bike and I went out on the 250f first. It's also just like everyone says, all the power is high in the RPMs, so you have to really be on it in order to take advantage of the power. The 350 definitely felt really nimble, and had plenty of power. I think you would like it, but if you get the chance to you should definitely ride one before you invest $9000 into one.

Yeah I just don't know how I would get to ride one though, but I would really need to in order to know.

rode a 13 at the beginning of the season, has great bottom end and pulls like a 450 out of corners. Overall a sick bike

I love my 350 excf, can only imagine the sxf power would be even better
