only difference between a 450 and 525(really at 510) is the piston and cylinder. I have the dirtbile 450, very similar motor(rfs) and it flat out rips.

Some will say that the 520 is too much power for the woods.....I have never figured how you can have too much power...? Its all about throttle control, if you don't have that anything can get away from you.
I have the 520 dirt bike engine in my quad, which makes more hp than the KTM quad, but should be close. The power seems to keep on building, its very smooth. Its going to be nothing like your arm ripping 310 with the powerband hit, its going to be smooth. Its power without the arm ripping. My nephews bored ported fast Banshee seems so fast, and it is, with its arm ripping power. But my KTM beats it even though when you ride them individually the Banshee "feels" like it is.

Good point. The most obvious difference is the engine displacement. Another could be the body and engineering design.
