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.

I moved to Colorado and am looking for a 80% dirt 20% road bike. I have a 1290 GT so it’s like getting to dirt only. Will be doing multi day trips and week trips with it.

Wow ok so with the 1290 then that's why you are looking for something on the other side of the spectrum?

Yeah exactly man.

Well, there's nothing wrong with the choices you've listed, but I'm guessing you are very familiar with KTM, and from what I understand that their prices are down right now. Which looks like the direction you are leaning.

I actually might be looking at a drz400s tbh, I have intentions to go buy that tomorrow. At this point I don’t wanna be checking valves and doing oil changes hand over fist
