new 2012 or 2014 KLX 250s which should I buy?

Thanks for all the replies. The other "Duel Sport" I was looking at was the KTM - so that is funny : ) I'm looking at the 2014 690 Endure R as well. I know it is almost twice the money and that is probably the dilemma I am in between choosing between the two. I like the Kawasaki, but until I upgrade tanks, engine, exhaust and so on. Plus I will have to buy luggage and probably a seat. I will have a fair amount invested.
The KTM has a new designed comfy seat "we'll see", plenty of power and I a have the small Touratech panniers (32l and 38l) and all the camping equipment and accessories that I use in them already. Just buy the rack and bounce them to the KTM for a trip.
I have a 2013 1200GS right now and although I love the bike and it is fine for fire roads and such. It is too big and heavy for the tougher trails to be picking up all the time and the chances of getting hurt just really start to go up.
Thanks,
Jamie

We'll I made a bike purchase this weekend and decided to go with the Kawasaki 250. Tried to buy a leftover 2012 but ended up getting a new 2014 for about $250 More. $4654 plus tax. Got to put about 20 miles on her yesterday and what a blast. I have to say I really like the bike and looking forward to getting it off road.
Thanks for all the help and advice.

Nope, they use 'Dual' on their website as well:
KTM Choose your KTM
"DUALSPORT (EXC & EXC-F)"
I did a search on the KTM website for duel sport - 0 hits. Search Dual Sport, and I get the above page and another one.
