Tell me which way I should go there only 150 price difference at my dealer. I"m a rec rider, ride trails looking for enought power to wheelie over obstacles at speed and not over power where it wont keep the wheels on the ground!

Start with the 450 if that is not enough you can easy add 525/540 cylinders from KTM or go with a big bore kit too 570.

thats what I'm thinking but, how much is it to make it a 525. its just cylender and piston right? Its just hard because its only 150 different now.

to make it a 525 will me much more expensive than paying the xtra $150 now.

i would get the 525, you will probably be happier with a more torquey power delivery since you are a rec rider.

Buy the 525 you will regret getting the 450 if you have a chance to ride a 525 after you purchase the 450.
