125-200cc 150/165 vs. KTM 200 ?

Has anyone with a WR150 or 165 also had an 07 or later KTM 200? I've been really wanting a 150 for awhile now and have a 200. Just wondering how they compare. I wish I could try one out, but I don't know of anyone around my area who has one.

The Husky is better in my opinion. I love my bike as a 150 and even more as a 165. Much more stable than a KTM. A KTM can't be ridden without a steering damper. The Husky doesn't need it. Powerwise I love the torque and power of the Husky. Feels like a weak 250.

I had an 09 200. I didn't gel with it. Didn't like head shake or power delivery
I like the 250 better. Maybe it's the over square motor on the 200.
Wrs take more work with jetting but more fun, easier to manouver and love the top end wrs are easier to ride in some slow tech stuff

I have an 09 200XC-W (as well as an 09 WR250). I never had any issue with headshake and I really like the power delivery, but as with any bike springs and jetting can make a big difference in those areas. I do like the Husky handling and fit better for sure. But I love the light weight of the 200. I've been racing the 200 for enduros this year mainly because of the light weight - but for trail riding I almost always ride the 250. Damn, I gotta find one of these little WR's to try out somewhere.

I have had both....08 200xc, 08 150sx, 02 cr125, 06 cr144....

As a taller person, 6ft, I felt cramped on the KTMs...so the ergonomics felt better on the Huskys for me....also the power on the husky to me, more off roady....and I did mess with the jetting and the pv springs... never had headshake on the KTM either....
