    Picked up my new 450SX yesterday ...

    Well I thought I was going to buy a 450R Honda and modify the hell out of it but after seeing the new SX KTM's yesterday at my dealer, I couldn't resist.

    I will be taking it out today to start the break-in process. KTM requires you to ride it up to 50% throttle for the first 3 hours and then up to 75% throttle for the next 9 hours, so I can't really get a true feel for a little bit.

    I'll post pics a little later. It was already dark when I got home last night. THIS THING IS AWESOME

    450R can be bought around 6 grand or a little less if you're lucky.
    The 450SX costs around $11300 (msrp though) so you can buy 2 trx's

    I ended up getting a really good deal on the KTM and decided I'd rather spend more initially and be done with it versus buying a 450R and spending $8k in mods ... so really I'm coming out ahead

    I didn't get to ride it much today so I'm taking it out tomorrow. Here are some pics ...
