I'm getting quoted $6600 OTD on the '18kx and $7600 on the '18 yz in MD. I also found a 17 kawi for $6350. Anyone been quoted lower on a '18 yz250f in the Delmarva or PA area?
Mostly leaning towards the yamaha for the spring forks, but a grand cheaper for a kawi is hard to pass up.

Sff air is air fork
Sff is spring fork
SFF Air is similar with damping on the left fork, but the right side fork leg houses a combination of air chambers that make up an air spring.
Kx250f comes equipped with SFF spring forks while the kx450f comes with SFF air TAC fork.
I'm a pretty novice rider would I notice that much of a difference between the kawi and yamaha in comfort/overall reliability? $1000 is a lot of money but if the yamaha is really that much of a better bike i feel like it is probably worth it, since this will be the last bike i buy for a long time.
The kx isnt magic out of the box regardless of size but you can have it set up pretty well.
Notice they also were both not my first second or third choices also lol. And ive seen brand new rmz250s for 5k out the door over the last year

This doesnt exactly answer your question seeing how the bike is 3k miles from you on the opposite coast... but I paid $355 for a hauler on UShip to deliver it to me in Illinois. Not sure what rates would be for you. I was extremely happy with the dealer. Sent them Money on Friday, had the bike by Tuesday for $5354 when it was all over with. I've also had bikes shipped from Babbitts with good luck.
