[QUOTE="JohnnyMac, post: 104929, member: 18888"] At this point, if I were you I’d hold off for a few more months. As far as weight goes the Honda will probably be about the same weight as the KTM’s. The only place I’ve seen that it will be lighter is on the Honda web page or a few of the magazines that got the spec sheets from the same web page. I believe my KTM is in the 238-pound range (which is about 10 to 12 pounds lighter than the current YZF’s). The other thing to think about is Yamaha will probably be shaving another 5 to 8 pounds off so I’d guess they will all be around 5 to 10 pounds of each other. I currently have a 520sx and love it. A friend who has a 426 isn’t as convinced but strange enough, he rode a 400sx a few weeks ago and keeps saying how much nicer it is? The 450 (if it is for real) could be the hot ticket. The wild card in my opinion is the starting. If Yamaha doesn’t address the “top dead center starting ritual” I’d take them off the list. I’d put deposits on both the Honda and KTM and make sure which ever one you decline on you can get store credit. It’s usually $100 deposit in CA and that spends pretty quick. If you decide to go with the Yamaha it should be easier to get. [/QUOTE]
