[QUOTE="weimedog, post: 138537, member: 20655"] I ride a VOR V-Cross 503 in the single track stuff. My friend a VOR 503 Enduro. We do fine. I get through bouncing off tree and rocks and enjoy the sweet low end power. The power of a VOR is very similar to the KTM520 so I am certain you will have the same kind of experience. So I was happy as can be...until I rode a VOR 400 V-Cross. Riding them head to head on the same day in Wyoming on single track was an epiphany. Riding the same trails was a lot easier and my speed was better on the 400. And to top it off I didn't have to work as hard pitching the 400 from tree to tree. All I was doing in the prior post was reporting on what I found and what others who had my same type of experience and TOLD me what I DIDN'T want to hear cause I was sold on a 503. Most of folks are cool enough not to say "I told you so". Instead they say "Wow the thing is a MONSTER" How do you do in the single track stuff! Bet its fast as hell on the Fire roads! ( Of course thats kryptic for: "You got to be an idiot to bring that thing into the tight woods, after you bash down a few trees maybe you will get some sense in that moron head of yours") At my level of riding a 503 is tons of fun most everywhere and I enjoy the heck out of it. Even in Single track. But if I strip away emotion I would be better off with the 400 in the tight suff. Actually I would probably be better off with the 400 everywhere...I'm just not ready to conceed to the point yet.:( Its possible at your level of riding skill my experience doesn't apply. There are plenty of fast/good riders out there who can make those big bikes work for them in the tight stuff....I'm too old and heavy. I'm just realistic about my actual limits now. Should have bought a 400. By the way..I love my VOR 503. I bet you will love your KTM520..they are awesome machines. My bet is you probably won't need a fan kit. My 503 doesn't. I rode during those 95 degree days in first gear for hours. Never boiled over. I think the VOR uses exactly the same radiators as the KTM.:) [/QUOTE]
