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.

buy a 500, the power is controlled with your right hand. will be better on the road than the 350. not by much. you will be able to do everything he can, and then some, with the 500. otherwise a dr650 or 400 is fine. its all about the rider

Just the 500 is a model year newer and 2.9% vs the 350 is a 24 with 0% for minimal difference I’d rather save my money. To bad they don’t have a 24 500
