The KTM 450 XC is the same as the 525 XC, just a smaller engine. My 525 is simply awsome. It has all the usual bolt on race parts as standard. ohlins shocks, cro mo frame, a arms and swing arm, douglas wheels and maxxis tyres and the best brakes ever offered. It has all the good stuff as standard. Goes and handles supreme.
Go have a look at one up close and judge for your self.

NOT HARD TO WORK OUT
KTM carby only choice of 39mm or 41 mm plenty of parts avalible
cdi not computer easy to work on ktm dealers carry stock or next day delivery

kfx 450 fuel injection tunes its self most of the time,parts are becoming more avalible with hardimans race team now running them this could be a real goood thing for kawazaki {but runs a computer hummm? }

dont be afraid do what i did buy both then work it out sell the one you dont like at the end of the season keep the other.
my bank loves me at least that what i think so long as i keep working!

i know that ktm spent two years of research in the quad racing scene before they even thought design it. they did this so they could have a 'race ready' quad straight of the show room floor. so you wouldnt need to spend heaps of money on after-market parts to be competitive.

i read about it in australian atv action.

Don't stress mate marketing people are very clever. Just look at Can am is you believe what they say about their quads it will win with kevin rudd riding it but the realty is can am are never going to win. KTM is a good quad no douth but they still got a bit of learning yet off the suzi
