Good move IMO, it’s more about you than the bike.
A few years ago I moved to an area with lots of trail riding and thought I’d try my hand. I sought some advice - I wanted something light and user friendly with long service intervals.
I bought a WR250R and it suited my needs perfectly. During my time riding the trails (most Sundays for 3 years) I tried out the CRF250l and, it too, was fine for my purpose, not as light, agile and pokey as the WRR but a softer engine made it more user friendly on the really difficult trails so, as always everything is a compromise.
After 3 years I moved to an area with no local trails, I would have to travel for 40 minutes to reach very muddy trails or 1 & 1/2 hours to return to my old stomping ground.

If I had really enjoyed trail riding I probably would have gone down the KTM, lightweight, short service interval route + van, but I wasn’t interested in speed so, if I had stayed in the area with lots of trails I would have kept the WRR. I don’t enjoy mud. I sold the WRR.

I took an off road test on the 300 rally and thought it would be great for me and my style of riding - a long trip to the trails and, at my pace, every bit as usable as the WRR, there’s no trail I would do on the WRR and not the rally. As for the shocks, I’m 110kg and the shocks were fine……..for me.

The one thing I’ve discovered is that I’m not that bothered about technical trail riding, what I really enjoy is big adventure bike trails in warm sunny mountains, I’m sure you’ll discover your preferences over the next few years.
Enjoy the process, I did.
