WR 250R vs Klx 300 duel sport

At the risk of sounding like a heretic here we go. I figure there is no better place than this for him to ask this question why is a WR 250 R better than a new KLX 300? I’m not looking to go super fast just looking to upgrade from a TW 200. And I’m considering both bikes.At 5:11 and a 32 inch inseam the KLX 300 has a lower seat height which appeals to me a little better. Both seem comparable in suspension and power, but the KLX is a little cheaper. Your thoughts?

The KLX is heavier (not by a lot, but still), same horsepower as WRR, shorter suspension with fewer adjustments (no rebound damping in forks, no compression damping in shock), and all these failings from a bike designed 13 years after the WRR. This is progress?

Plus, the aftermarket is not particularly enamored with the KLX: the biggest gas tank available is only 2.7 gal, which will limit its use as an adventure bike.

Given all these, the question is why would anyone consider a KLX? Especially for someone with your height, the KLX makes scant sense, so grab a WRR while you still can.

Thanks for your insight
