Anyone and everyone offer your input please.

Whenever I have the money for a next bike it will probably be a sumo. I have no personal experience with either bike but have read a bit about them. One thing I have heard about Huskys is the parts can be hard to get. KTM may or may not be any easier for parts.

I would be really torn between either of these bikes and going all out with a plated WR450F or CRF450X. I know the maintenance intervals suck but something about a bike making around 50hp and weighing well under 300lbs on the street may make it worthwhile.

I also second supermotojunkie.com there is a ton of good info on that site.
