I rode a friend's Husaberg 300, and figured a 300 2T was the ticket for me!
I found my completely loaded 2013 GasGas 300 for a marvelous price and picked it up. I really have no complaints, other that it is SUPER powerful. Not completely unmanageable, but it does surprise me every so often.
I have three close friends that I ride with that have KDXs. All three are new riders as well, and started riding when I did. They bought their KDXs at my recommendation, and they love them. I've ridden them a little bit, and found them to be eminently rideable! Plenty of power, good "grunt", and fun!
I've thought on several occasions that I would like to really hone my skills on a KDX. I HATE crashing my GasGas since it is so pretty!

I consider myself an aggressive beginner. I like to go fast where appropriate, I like to push my limits. When I was younger I raced BMX and mountain bikes, and skated street and vert. So "extreme sports" are not completely foreign to me, but it has been a while since I've done that stuff.

So here is my dilemma... I am pondering selling the GasGas, and picking up a KDX. I'd put a TON of money back into my pocket. Unfortunately, I am a "looks" conscious guy. I like stuff that looks cool.

FORTUNATELY, I found a KDX that I am interested in buying that looks amazing. Cosmetically, it looks how I would set it up. Functionally, it hits all the right notes too. Price is great, but it is about 8 hours away. I could get a bike that I think I would be satisfied with, enjoy, and really learn on. And not cry over everytime I tip it over!
Here is the KDX I want:
