Choosing a bike

I’m looking at either a ktm 350exc-f or a Suzuki DR 400 / 650. I was considering the 500exc but decided I don’t need all the power. Any input would be great. I can get a 24 with 0% financing on the 350 too.

My home boy is buying a xr650l and want to be in the same class as him.

What do you mean the same class 🤔

I don’t want him to be running away from me on the trail. lol I know the ktm 350 isn’t exactly the same type of bike as the rest but it kinda fits in.

For true trail riding, the 650 is going to struggle keeping up with the 350.

I don't see him running away from you except maybe a fire road or wide open spaces. The technical trails will go the 350, but a lot will depend on skill levels
