[QUOTE="DougRoost, post: 108775, member: 23019"] I tried to get SpodeKill (aka ZeroGravity) to post on this as he recently got a 520 M/XC (couldn't find a 400 E/XC else he would have gotten that). Unfortunately he's swamped right now. He says the KTM 520 is quite possibly the best dirt bike ever built and it feels way lighter than it is due to the balance and slimness of it. He can ride it all day without being tired and says it's made a better rider out of him. As Kali pointed out, seat height compared to the blue bikes is also significant. SpodeKill was riding a KLX365 prior to this that he had built up (was stolen). He loved the KLX but didn't want to go through it all again, so he bought the KTM. Pretty much ready to go out of the box. Only real mod he made was to get the 2 degree different triple clamps to improve the steering geometry. Says the power is not an issue since you're in control with your right hand -- and it's always nice to have some in reserve. Amazingly the weight is the same between the 400 and 520, so what the heck! Bottom line, I don't know anyone who has ever bought a KTM and had buyer's remorse. The same can't be said on some of the other makes. So why buy a WRF, dump all the money in it, have too tall a seat, and still not have electric start? Geez, I should go to work for KTM!:cool: [/QUOTE]
