[QUOTE="TexKDX, post: 109689, member: 16276"] I've owned the 400 yammie and have ridden the 400 and 520 EXCs. No question she'll be more comfortable on either KTM than that Yamaha. "Friendlier" is the one word I've kinda centered on when describing the EXC RFSs. Lower compression, feel lighter and nimbler, sit lower. Oh and the button-thingie. BTW Kali, Yamaha is notorious for lying about weight. Burly himself told me the WR400 weighed in at an honest 283 pounds with a full tank of gas when they did the '00 Dirt Bike 4 stroke Shootout. The July 2000 Trailrider Magazine shows the '00 400 EXC with hand guards and a few other accessories weighing in at 273 pounds. The 520 does have "oh my God" power on tap if you hold the loud handle open long enough, kinda like the CR500, but is very friendly when short shifted and torqued around. The 400 is somehwat sedate in comparison, but in the tighter conditions can be ridden up in the rev range. It still pulls well on top, just not the "oh my God" well the 520 has on tap. Get 'em both I say - His and Hers RFS's. Or, wait until next year when all you can get is the 450 :scream: . Argument settled. Oops, forgot about the 250... [/QUOTE]
