The KLX450 also has won a 24 hour reliability race in South Aussie last 2 years running. The article below shows winning the 2007 race, it also won the 2008 as well

my i suggest the drz400e or klx400 (just in green). lots more power than most people can use, cheap, reliable, what more could you want...ohh and servicing is basically the same a the 250, hardly anything.

When it's released, the Suzuki will bang heads with Honda's CRF450X, the Kawasaki KLX450R and Yamaha WR450F, and European hardware such as the KTM 450EXC and Husqvarna TE450.

I'd still buy the KLX

good point, but,,, weight is an issue for me cause i couldn't fight my way out of a wet paper bag.
And i'd also like to do a few jumps as well

WHY! They wont sell any. Just buy a RMZ and forget the hassle of removing the light etc. They will ADR in 2011, due to poor sales figures.
