[Deleted account D]

Before I go for the obvious KTM530exc, I feel I should lookma t something different.

anyone got experience of the honds crf450x?

will have soon, inbound from Dubai.

Honda is rated best-in-class and KTM 30% more expensive here so no brainer.

If I had not a GS, I might be tempted, but the thing I want is a light bike for off-roading, and the KTM is not light.

Honda CRF 450X = 113kg
KTM 530 EXC R = 113.9kg

A good dump before riding would swing it in the KTM's favour!

I stand corrected, I had a wrong impression from somewhere that the KTM was 135kgs
