The last buzz was sept 08.It may be a lot like the xc with dif a-arms-etc or it could be it's own animal.

It is going to be different. It will have different frame geometry and a different engine. The engine will not be the same as the current 450 xc engine.

If the release date is Sept. I would bet it is going to be different then the XC. Prob. major differences between the XC and MX

If the engine will be different, how about...SX version engine, 4 speed gearbox, SX CDI and SX exhaust. Would this be possible or out of place, logangsxr998?

11k is going to be very steep for most. I believe if they price it from 9-9.5k they will sell fine. But thats if they come with long travel off the show room floor. If they are just the XC version with wider a-arms and axle then they should be priced right at what the 450XC is now. I guess we will wait to see what happens.

when you think about it even 11k isnt thatr bad if its a FULL blown race bike think about how much it cost for you to build a full long travel race bike? well over 11k plus the time put into it. especially for someone like me thta wors 60 plus hours a week having a fully built bike right form the showroom floor would do it for me. look for a fully buit kawi to be for sale when the ktm450 comes out:D

im thinking it would be cheaper to get the XC and get new a arms..
oh well, 11k is a lot, but you get what you pay for.

i want one:blah:
