Which ever one has the best dealer near you. The problem with both is parts availability. What are your intended uses for it?

KTM has a much larger dealer network and aftermarket support.
I just got my learners permit and all my buddies ride enduros. I've wanted one fire a while. Probably 70% road to 30% trails and dirt and gravel country roads.

Personally having used various 2,3 and 4 wheel ORVs I think you'd be much better served by a 4wd 4 wheeler. They can tow a small trailer filled with food and supplies and are much more stable. I had a fairly nasty spill on a bike once. Wouldn't get on another.
However if you're just trying to justify a toy...no justification needed.

Started a BOV thread. You should see what people have to say before committing to a motorcycle.

My buddies have enduros and they ride and take short trips so I want something street legal. Not as good as a 4 wheeler but I'm looking at street legal 2 wheelers

If you are just starting to ride take a look at a Suzuki drz400. Great reliable bike that will have more than enough power for you.

Lol for sure. I was looking for as much power as I could get without going above 350 pound for a bike because I'd like to add an auxiliary fuel tank and when you add a rack for your BOB and rifle things start adding up and getting to heavy for cross country travel.
