[QUOTE="Greg M, post: 201443, member: 16154"] That is correct, both of the US models will be 450's. As of right now, my dealer claims the kickstarter and mounting equipment will be included with the bike, but not installed. I believe he quoted me $6,599 as the MSRP for the enduro. That seems basically in-line with other bikes on the market. I went to a KTM dealer after work and fondled a KTM RFS 400 and 520. They are nice bikes but this place wants, and gets, $585 for freight and assembly on these bikes. That means $8,000 out the door including sales tax. I would have a tough time coughing up $8,000 for a 400 when the 520 is only a couple hundred bucks more. In fact, this is the basis of my dilemma. I don't know that any European 400 will be that much faster than a DRZ which sells for over $1,000 less. At least if I buy a 450 or 470, I have something to show for my money. I may not need the extra power, and I know that excess power can be a hindrance (former 610 owner) but just a little too much is okay isn't it. ;) I roder a DRZ and was pretty impressed with two exceptions. It was real heavy and the power was too smooth. No snap at all. Yes a louder muffler would wake the bike up, but I hate noise. The Euros typically have a much better balance between noise and hp. I think Yamaha and Honda are the worst. Does anyone ride an XR or WR and leave the exhaust totally stock? I have never seen one. Decisions, decisions. Greg M [/QUOTE]
