| Re: Enduro? That is a bit like asking who makes the best sports bike - your going to get lots of different answers. I'm all for the KTM if your talking in terms of outright performance, components & ergos. Enduro bikes are detuned motocross bikes with different gear ratios, softer suspension and more compliant power spreads. They also come with street legal gear and electric start. Thinkg of crossing over ? |

| Re: Enduro? That is the 990 superduke - one of my favourite machines but it's a v twin road bike. Not good at all for off road. |

| Re: Enduro? Yeah but it sure is awsome.. But really Im looking for a off road machine... Lots of places in KY to ride off road.. LBL | OHV Trails 100 miles of trails.. How about this one? Is it overkill? Is the 450 plenty enough for me?Attachment 27377 SX or EXC... I want a all around trail bike.. Last edited by Maholli : 11-14-2007 at 8:55 AM. |

| Re: Enduro? Most people can't ride a 450 to it's potential so I would say yeah a 450 is tons. That KTM looks like the 08 and they have a new engine so I am not sure how they rate as yet. The CRF450 is a pretty good option if you want to stay with Honda, you have to be prepared for some spanner time with hardcore enduro bikes, they require a lot of TLC - Oil changes, air filters, valve adjustments.... And they can be a little like hand grenades. |

| Re: Enduro? Attachment 27378 Attachment 27379 Taken all what you said in your last post.. In your experience and opinion what would be the best all around trail bike with the less upkeep and of course I need kick ass torque and power.. Not sure I wanna go with Honda on this one.. But then again seems like the price is right on the Honda's.. I just sold my 954 over the weekend.. So im ready for another off roader, plus I can ride the trails in the fall and winter too...

| Re: Enduro? I don't know how you ride and what you expect, maybe an LC4 powered KTM will give you enough perfomance with less spanner time. Think 625EXC so you have plenty of power.. and you hardly have to touch them  They also convert to motard in about 30 mins if you have the gear. |

 | Re: Enduro? About that superduke, its a very nice machine. My close mate has an orange one, untill some bastard nicked it. Cant trust anyone these days. I like the supermoto bikes, they are so easy to stunt on. |
