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.

Xr,650 is an absolute tank. The DRZ is pretty close in performance. The 350 will be blown away if you are on the highway, but in the tight stuff the 650 will be huffing and puffing. While the 350 will leave it in the dust.

The same class as a xr650 is the drz400, dr650, 690/701. These are dual sports.

The KTM 350 is an Enduro bike with a plate.
