    Interesting that KTM and possibly Kawaski are going for the XC trail market vs Suzuki and Can-am going for MX market.

    Honda and Yamaha are kinda in the middle but neither have reverse.

    Actually is seems like Cam-Am stock is more of a XC quad and KTM will be going for both XC and MX...they will have a MX version with 450 also.

    I was thinking the same thing. With all the talk of the KTM 450, I think the 525 will be very hard to beat. Everyone knows how fast the Outlaw 525 is and this thing will be alot lighter.

    And KTM already has prove power package options available. They offer a 540 kit, a stroker version of the that kit 576 cc (or 552 cc with stock piston). So you have a ton of great power options ready to go.
