New KDX rider from Ontario Canada!

Great site you guys have here.
I'm 47 yrs old, have been racing MX the last few years and wanted to try some trail riding. I picked up a leftover 07 KLX250s, and promptly got hooked on single track.
It didn't take long for me to 'outgrow' the KLX. I love the bike, but it's just too heavy.
Enter the KDX. I figured they would handle similarly ( I was really happy with the way the KLX handled), but HOLY COW does this KDX handle! After some single track, and about a dozen laps on the MX track, I think I might park the race bike.
What a blast this thing is. It's so smooth, it's deceivingly fast. It felt like I was putting in a few leisurely laps, but it wasn't long before I was at race speed.
