sad but true also, KTM has nothing to offer that's street legal according to their site. If I were you I would be looking Husqvarna. All of their 4-stroke enduros 250cc and up are 50-state street legal. The TE250 is $6400 and if I were you, that's what I would be looking into. Or for like $700 more, the 450 could be had. Consider your options. KTM's are so overpriced, woohoo, you get White Power suspension. Big deal, we're not Larry Roeseler here. Personally, I like the looks of the KLX over any other optional bike. That, to me, is more important than how it performs stock (as that is easy to improve). Add a pipe, jetting, stiffen up the suspension (yes, alot of guys on this site complain about the soft susp., but they do not know a lick about adjusting it to be better). And if you really want some power, slap on a 300cc jug, bore that out even if you want, add a pumper carb and guaranteed you'd have a woods rocket. I bet you could do all of that for $1500 or so. Then you ask yourself, was the trade worth it? Good luck on your decision. I know there's nothing better than getting a new bike.
