    Biggest con on the '11 XC... it's still PDS, not linkage, biggest pro... I think by '11, it should nice 6 sppeed tranny. I got my '12 Husaberg TE250 with PDS to work pretty well, but prefer linkage. Biggest pro, for a '09 WR, it still has a Kokusan ignition, not a Ducati, biggest con..... 5 speed CR tranny.

    I personally like a 5 speed just as well I consider pds a pro but I think I'll like the wr just as well

    Both good bikes, can you ride them i found the rake on the ktms abit slow to turn you have to start before the corner but on the 300 husky its faster so it goes where you look no thinkinh involved.
    Some like it some dont but thats just what i felt.
    Thats in older 08 250 ktm i dont know anyone with a newer one.

    love my 07 wr250. I've rode many ktm, but still feels weird compared to my Husky. This the main reason I have not pulled the trigger on a new one.
