I am considering buying a new bike but would like some advice , even if it is to tell me I am a prat and stay with what I already have.

I have a 2004 model KTM 450 EXC wih approx 36hrs and 750 miles. I bought it about 6 months ago with 6hrs.

I am fairly new to offloading but being better. Done some fairly tricky sections on Salisbury plain, Oxgrove and Water lane.

I have considered the KTM 350 but none around.

I like lower revving bikes rather than screamers.
450 EXC is ok weight wise and power wise.
Nothing wrong with my bike and I do like it
Only reason I am considering now is tha a few things need doing but they are minor.

So really just curious of what is out there worth considering. - if any.
 
If you are ok with the power & weight keep 450

What bike did you have before?

I had a BMW G650 XC but rarely used it so sold it
Hen bought a Yamaha WR250 R. Which is ok but a little too heavy so bought the KTM 450

I still have the WR which I bought new and has only done 350 miles so probably get rid of that.
