I dont have one but my buddy does. Wicked lookin bike. Hydraulic clutch is sweet. So are the brakes. Great ride overall. Only draw back is you'll miss not having a 5th gear if you get the sx 450. Not on the track but roads/long trails.

I own the 08 450 sxf and its by far superior to the crf or the yzf witch Ive also ridden. I love the 4 speed with proper bush gearing. If your running it in the bush then you will be wanting to install the Axillary cooling fan kit.

On my second KTM now. First was an 06 250 sx that I bought brand new, and I just purchased an 08 505 xcf. My brother has had an 08 505 sx that has proven to be reliable. There very good bikes, I have no complaints with them. Seem to have very strong engines, and the electric start is a nice option to.

That bike will make a better rider out of you, simply because you have to stand up all the time as the stock seat is a friggin plank. Apart from that though, I don't think anyone can dispute that KTM is the best bike builder in the world right now. My next bike will be a KTM, no question.

They're great bikes. They come
With great features, hydraulic clutch,brembo brakes,WP suspension,excel rims. The
08 and up are supperior to pre 08 handling Wise. I have a 08 200 xc-w, one of the best purchases I've ever made, it handles great and runs like a top, super realiable aswell. Get one, you won't be disappointed.
