I am going for the KFX450 as soon as I can get one. I see the KTM says it will be race ready and have reverse but will cost $$$ more. And then the parts cost more also. My past Kawie's have not let me down so I expect the KFX450 to be all I need for X/c racing

Well you know the KFX450 parts are going to be really pricey too though, since the frame is completely different then anything else (except maybe slightly similar to the old dale frames) you wont be able to just try and find what parts might fit like the LTR (which actually you could use a few items from your z400/kfx400)

I would doubt that aftermarket companies are going to jump right on this too, unlike the YFZ, LTR, and 450R. I think since this is made more for XC racing (at least by all the features) they will make them, but take a bit longer and try making it more of a XC maching instead of taking the R&D time to make it a MX'er...then again, everyone knows they will still do it in time...

I just can't wait for both of these machines to come out (The KFX450 and the KTM450)

I am going to look at maybe riding one for next season. I am running a yfz right now and I like it. But next year either another yfz, maybe a honda, or the new kawi. Also may think about the lTR.

just got my kawi last week and i plan on racing it in the hairscrambles series. reverse is gonna be sweet in the woods. this quad is the one way ticket if you want a woods quad. it has so much low end torque. its simply amazing for a stock quad.

Just a heads up to fellow xc'ers before racing in a muddy race try to find a way to keep mud out of the reverse cable actuator thingy. I took mine to its first xc race last weekend and when it was over i noticed the thing was full of mud and wouldn't work a lick. But other than that I am extremely happy with the bike. Its gonna make a great xc machine.

Thanks for the heads up! We like our mud races here in Iowa!
