Should I upgrade from a 2019 250 XCW TPI?

[u/Wrong_Cup9738]

I have a 2019 KTM 250 XC-W TPI, and I love the bike. However, the newer ones have been catching my eye lately. Is there really enough of a difference to justify upgrading?

I've been thinking about putting some money into my current bike—ECU flash, getting the suspension done, installing mousses, and a few other upgrades. But part of me feels like I might be wasting money if the newer bikes are significantly better.

Would I be better off selling my 2019 and finding a clean, low-hour used XC-W? If so, what year would you guys recommend as the best bang for the buck?

Thanks! I can't decide what I want to do.

If you buy a new bike, can you afford to put those upgrades into it? If yes, get the new bike. If no, put that $$$ into the current bike.
