  • well 525's are diffrent class for racing corey, and ktm's are more expensive

  • How much are they ?

  • @motoguy74 there the second most expensive iv seen man, can-am is the most expensive iv seen. with this i wouldnt get the 450 id get tht 525 theres nt much of a price difference last time i checked

  • are u selling the quad by any chance!!

  • that is a crappy fourwheeler

  • @stormybia that is the best quad

  • i put flexx bars on my raptor the next day i took them off cuz they suck dick and i put on pro taper evo bars on alot better

  • get sum nerf bars before anyting else dude trust me

  • does that quad have reverse, how fast will it run.

  • @RovingLandRover your a fucking tool, ktm's are expensive because they are quality bikes, and Yamaha makes 2 of the most recognized atvs, the grizzly and the raptor and they are both good bikes.. You're probably to poor to afford any of these 

  • @RovingLandRover ktms are more reliable. ok, the ktm would cost about 8k if it werent for the fmf exhaust and headers, the ohlins, the rims the tires, and the brake with the clutch. and if would have 47hp. now it has 50hp. ight. and when u crank up the power on a honda 450r with aftermarket parts, it breaks. not to metion if its pushed hard. then for shure ur done. fucking poser. kurwa chuj zajebany

  • @RovingLandRover Have you ridden a Trx450r and compared it to any other 450 out there. The only thing that is a plus is the abrupt power which is sometimes too excessive for the MX track when you need a smooth consistent punch to stay fast and on all fours. The Honda is really a perfect quad for someone going from a 2-stroke to a 4-stroke but without big $ it's a racer's worst nightmare.

  • @RovingLandRover It has not been one bit reliable for me. I've kept it maintained just as the manual says and it still breaks down regularly. Not to mention I bought it when it was still practically brand new, and treated it just like a new quad. So don't go telling me I'm an idiot because I have babied this bike and done everything right but it hasn't held up while all the people I know with Yamaha's, Suzuki's and Kawasaki's have yet to even change their oil after 50+ hours and still run fine.

  • if i had a atv like this i would probably wind up putting it in a glass case in my liveing room rather than rideing it lmao

  • is it fast

  • @cr125beast ya

    

  • KTM- keep the mechanic

  • how often do you need to change the oil??

  • @coshyno never because it doesnt run

  • @imthebestofthegreat lol whats wrong with it ?

  • @coshyno it just started throwing oil and smoke everywhere. Probably piston and a gasket somewhere

  • @coshyno every 8-16 hours depending on how you ride

  • i race harescrambles and im looking into getting a ktm 450 xc. is the ktm going to be the best buy? or should i go with something else? if anybody has raced a harescramble before then you know each race takes your machine through hell and back. im looking for something that will stay together and go strong for racing and trails.

  • @JOSH2225x I've had problems with mine. I took a year off from racing to play baseball and it has been rebuilt 3 times, even without hard riding. It has never ran as well as it did when it was new so with that said, be careful with this one...

  • @imthebestofthegreat okay well thats some good information to know. if you had a choice to get a ktm 450 xc, honda 450r, or suzuki 450 which one would you get?(all of them have some modifications done already)

  • @JOSH2225x Well ive always had KTMs, partly because a friend owns a dealership and he works on it for free. But other than that I'd get the honda because of my size. the suzuki is a little smaller. I dont know if thats relevant to you...

  • @imthebestofthegreat where is ur friend dealer so you can hook me up amma buy a KTM 450

  • @jlhgwriufoewhseohfhi Probably nowhere near you... Carson, NV

  • @JOSH2225x DO NOT BUY THE HONDA!!!

    I regrettedly bought one a year ago, biggest waste of $4000 ever. Half of the people I know who own one want to get rid of it. Trust me they are slow, and really outdated. The frame is almost identical to the 1980's Trx250r and the shocks came right off the 400ex. All the parts are cheap and the valves never last long before they have to be adjusted. Don't waste your money, buy a Kfx450r or Ktm450xc for the trails, the Suzuki is too wide.

  • @BWRProductions Didnt know that. But it wouldnt be kept stock if i got one

  • @imthebestofthegreat doesn't really matter what you do to it. the honda is still the honda at the end of the day. you still get a carburetor, bad frame and SOHC. and you would save a lot of money in mods by buying a better quad.

  • @BWRProductions thats false statements ktms are over priced when they go it cost alot to get them fixed i prefer honda anyday over a ktm quad id rather have a yfz and i hate yamaha

  • @johntedrowjr they aren't expensive to buy, they are expensive to modify to the same level as any of the other quads out there.

  • @BWRProductions they aren't my local ktm dealer could disagree. i mean wippy iddy doo its ktm so what the quads are nothing to brag about my 400ex modded can keep up with one and my brothers 450r beat one in a drag race all he had was full yoshi pipe and the ktm was stock and my bro beat him bad ive rode one i think honda feels and handles better

  • @johntedrowjr I don't mean speed I mean track performance. I had these two racers beat on the MX track up until a section of rollers where both of them made up the 20 seconds cause my bike cut out each time I hit one. They came up to me afterwards and said I should've beat them but my bike was holding me back. They knew it, I knew it. Clearly when someone else can tell you that after 5 laps you know there's some changes to be made.

  • @johntedrowjr da guy on the ktm cant ride for shit. bc i beat bored raptors on a friends ktm

  • @JOSH2225x. the kfx 450r is an awesome trail/harescramble quad. it has reverse without slacking off any power in the 450 class. there the only 450 with reverse.

  • @07HONDA400EX07 I ride a KTM450XC & it is the baddest machine i have riden

  • clean that quad!! :@

  • the xc handle more hours than the sx between rebuilds, and is less wide than an sx, but totally different powerbands. unless your racing mx, go xc. even if your amature mx, go xc... imo.

    i have an xc.

  • DIRTY AS!

  • the 450sx has a dohc motor compared to sohc motor on the xc. the sx has more hp, wider stance and a long list of extras. if u dont race mx i would not get the sx.  save the money and get the xc. i have both and the xc is much better for ridin.

  • I would want the quad for kind of enduro rough ground is it ok to go through water with the quad? can i ask you as well why would the sx be more expensive if the xc is better as it has a reverse gear and one final question is this quad realible i say so as my exc 125 bike is fantastic.

    Thanks for answering

  • which is more expensive quad the 450 xc is the sx as i want the xc as it has reverse but if it is to much i,ll just buy the 450 sx.

    Thanks and nice quad.

  • They are pretty much the same. They handle differently so it depends on what you want. The sx is more expensive and its strictly for a track

  • pussy

  • how are the shocks different because I want to get one to race at my local track I will probably buy nerf bars are the shocks on the xc modle better or worse then the sx

  • @Peter1115207 They are softer than the sx's, which make it better on rough stuff. The sx is purpose built for the track only. When the xc came out in 08, they raced it on the track so its what ever you want. The only major difference is that the xc has reverse

  • how is the sx built differnt than the xc isnt just the shocks and tires

  • handguards and yeah

  • Everyone whos says it over overpriced your wrong get on one it will lift you and put you on your ass trust me i own one and road rash hurts on your ass trust me

  • blip the throttle some gawd damn it!

  • you miss understood something there Its a 450 XC not SX . . there the 450/525 XC . . . for XC (GNCC) race

    and theres the 450/505 SX . . . pure motocross track quad , useless on the trails.

  • well i like kawasaki because i currently own a KFX450R and i like the ltr450 performance.

  • yep and the 2010 yfz isnt bad at all. though i like ktm kawasaki and suzuki better.

  • wow man, you need to do more research because that is the top performing quad on the market. you probably havnt heard of it because everyone where you live dosent like the price tags on this machine. try $9000-$11000.

  • this isnt the fastest quad the 525 of this is

  • okay i didnt say it was the fastest. and in racing its a 450 class so on the track the 450 will whip the 525s because of cornering differences between the bikes and weight differences.

  • there is no difference between the bikes. One is boared a little more. The 525 is 95, 450 is 89. This came from a friend that ows 2 KTM dealers. Only 15 pound difference, so cornering is the same

  • not completely, the 450 is lower to the ground and the 525 sets a little higher. it really dosent matter, but the 450 belongs on the track and the 525 can be a track and mostly a trail bike.

  • they are the VERY same bike , only cylinder/piston change and the pilot jet in the carb is 2 point bigger (40 for 450xc and 42 for 525 xc)

    get your fact right

    as far as the weight , the difference is MINIMAL and even ktm quote they'r bike at the same weight for 525 and 450

  • The 525 is more of a trail bike and the 450sx is a race bike. im not going to argue further. i love KTM and all their models of quads and dirtbikes. the 525 is geared a little different from the 450 also. the 525 has slightly more powerful bottom end. but the power band is very strong. so it rides it out in every gear all the way to top end with great hp. so does the 450.

  • nice atv is it liquid cooled

  • definetly

  • brand but when u ride on a trail instead o moving ur hands and the bars with fasst flexx the handlebars move up and down with ur hands so u dont get any vibration or arm pump

  • the best handlebars r the flexx bars nothing compares to them

  • true but of course if you are in a financial mess and want the next best bar to them i would recommend Renthal Fat bars or Pro Taper oversized bars.

  • ohh hell ya but flexx r alot better than everything

  • @loganshelak atv forplay bars are a lot better than flexx

  • No that is cold hard fact. KTM come with Maxxis Razr tyres, Renthal fat bars, Brembo brakes, magura hydraulic clutch, billet clutch components, a large open air box, wide A-arms, ohlins suspension removable "cut down" look front mud guards and it's the lightest 450/525 quad in exception for the DS450. I used to own a Polaris. It was fun but certainly not up to the standards of KTM's ATV's

  • lightest besides the ds450 and the kfx450r. and yep the KTM450 race bike comes also equipped with nerf bars.

  • Polaris are so much heavier and worse handling than KTM. KTM have better suspension, brakes, tyres, rims, controls, A-arms, etc. Polaris are cheap and not well thought out. They are good for a bit of fun but no good for racing

  • thats bs there the best high performance racing machine out there.

  • exactly, if the KTM quads were not so expensive i would have bought one of them, but right now i currently own a KFX450R, i had a polaris scrambler just to mess around on, and pretty much bew it up, didnt feel like fixing it because it wasnt really worth the money so i gave it away.

  • Yer but they need EFI. That would complete them. Oh and a new front fender on the bikes haha. Hate the front fender, looks hell weird when you are riding.

  • on their website, its 9 grand. 11.5 for mine. 2.5 dif. Not that bad

  • i get what ur sayin, but look at the parts it already has, like ohlins shocks. Little things like that is why you buy a KTM. It comes with better parts out of the box. Now the outlaw has the same motor, but it is ktm's design. It has nothing to do with polaris

  • clean it mins shiny as

  • man that is one sexy quad but isnt it like 10 grand or something crazy like that?

  • yeah after tax it was 11

  • How is this thing on tight trails? Do you wish you would of got the 525?

  • its not too good because its so wide. you will hit every thing. But im happy with the 450

  • nice quad man, i have a 2008 ds450x and my friend has the ktm and we race em all the time.

  • you are so fukin luky to get that I have been wanting won for ages now

  • clean ur awsome titty 4 wheeler lol

  • after my 250, im gettin this quad, the only thing u would need to get is a pipe, otherwise its ready to race :)

  • you dont even need that. i think its fine

  • no, all u are is a stuck up bitch who apparrently argues with people on youtube because i admit it im poor but that only means i actually WORKED for what i want, yes i have a ktm and a nice car but i have a job and it took me like 3 fucjing years to save up my money, i wouldnt be suprised if zack123123 did the same to get his shit faggot

  • who are you talkin to?

  • im talking to these other guys on a thread, some spoiled rich kid, not u, y do my comments go to the top

  • i dont know. sometimes mine do too

  • Thats a sick quad

  • i love that atv i will be geting one soon

  • You can't buy skills faggot!

  • wow, ktmquadracer77.. you're just a little douche bag now arent you? I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce

  • nicely said!

  • that same quad was in american chopper when they went to alaska if you watch that show

  • you bought a kawasaki 450 race quad? dude you got ripped those suck

  • its a 450XC.... the RACE quad is named 450SX

  • they only made XCs in 2008. thats when i bought it

  • wow, sweet quad id trade mine for one of those.... but all i got is a kawi 450 and id still have to antee up like $1000

  • Ive got a ktm. A KFX 450 huh? I grew up on a kawasaki, Ive been wanting another kawasaki.

  • wait, it gets better... theres a piece of string in the gas tank from when i tried to fish out my calculator watch

  • youve got a deal.... pm me when you can

  • wild hogs, damn good movie

  • what the heck is wild hogs?.... im working a deal

  • Hey man I have the same machine.. just wondering if you've had any problems with yours yet.. mine's a 2008.. And do you also find that the seat is hard to clean after it gets muddy?

  • mine's an 08. yeah, the seat doesn't clen very well

  • the sx is built wider and slightly longer (but u cant tell rly) and its meant for tight racing tracks and the xc is shorter and and more compact. they are basically the same same cc's almost same weight but i like the sx better just cuz i like racing more

  • damn those r expensive

  • jet your carb dude . . your way to lean

  • it sounds like the motors knockin

    Notta good sine 8X

  • its the exhaust. wow lol.

  • thats not the best stocker on the market.....  the ktm 450sx is

  • it wasnt out yet

  • thats spotless compared to my pred lol

  • wow nice SOUND!

  • ds 450 . . . they are the lowest hp bike in the 450 with the 450r . . . 32-34 at the wheel . . . 450xc stock have 40hp at the wheels

  • best stock quad on the market though...

  • lol . . ds best in the market? everyone have the right to have their opinion

  • i think he meant the ktm

  • there alright, my ds450 runs away from it after 3rd gear

  • if you think thats dirty u need 2 ride more

  • Awesome KTM! One question, does that have a hand clutch? I dont know what they mean on the spec sheet. It says, 5-speed XC semi-close-ratio + reverse. Can anyone help me?

  • Close ratio has to do with the gearing not the clutch. The new KTM quads have a new unique clutch system. You sit up off the seat to engage the clutch, then sit back down to disengage it. Pretty revolutionary...........HAHA

  • WTF you stand up to shift?

  • yes this quad has a hnad clutch

  • Yeah thats what I thought. My friends must be dumbasses then. They claim they seen one and looked at it. Its a hydraulic clutch, so it looks like a brake cable.

  • its just like any other quad. Normal clutch... w/ reverse

  • beautiful quad, you are a very lucky man.

  • sounds so nice. i dont really like the back fensers tho. ik its fast, but is it a reliable quad too?

  • your a prepie rich boy

  • you wish you had one. go whine somewhere else bitch

  • i am saying it to you to codygrant94tracker not you i like ktm my bro lets me drive it they are so fast

  • no i dont dumbfuck i hate ktm get a damn brute fore mothfucker

  • cuz i have something called money, ever heard of it dick snot

  • soooo... u hunt dragons, hows that workin for you? huh?

  • @imthebestofthegreat its fucking awesome. and i seriously dont remember writting that comment cause ktms are that expensive XD but nice bike never the less.

  • what is faster that ktm or a yfz 450 yamaha

  • it depends. If the yamaha is stock it would be the ktm. If it was all aftermarket, it might be different

  • hey please could someone tell me if you can put a atv engine on a motorbike?I found an atv with automatic transmission and I want to buy it and put it's engine on my motorbike because I HATE manual transmission!please help me!This clip is 5/5!!!!!!!

  • You can put any engine in anything, you just have to make it fit

  • it broke? was it from lack of matinance? Why buy a race quad if your not planning on racing? You knew you would be better off on a trail machine but insisted on a 450, to make up for lack of skill. correct.

  • Dude, thank you. I've been bitching about that forever. anytime there is a vid of a 450 getting beat by a raptor, or predator, or something else, everyone crys, "put it on the track". Seeing as how the majority of 450 race quads will never see the track, it got beat fair and square. It is retarted. people buy quads because someone builds them up, practices constantly, and wins races on the quad, not due to what their riding needs are.

  • KTM are known for not lasting long..Im not dissin dont get me wrong,killer bikes, but just dont have the miles/ HRS to live..Better buy something Jap or put a smashed up Enduro Jap engine in it and your set.

  • not always dude. my dad used a 250 ktm bike for about 5 years

  • so that is why KTM bikes rule dakar rally? lol.. not reliabel. lol my family have 10 KTM bikes. oldest 86mod. all works. the yamaha and husquerna don`t. if you no nothing about engines you are best of with a BMX bike.lol...

  • really nice!

  • how did it broke..?

  • LOL how did it broke. Nice grammer.

  • how did it broke? lol

  • how the fuck do you kill a taco

  • don't buy a RACING quad if you don't know how to fix stuff.

  • it broke!!

  • dont get one they're expensive and always break

  • wat happend to yours.

  • bitches like you dont deserve one

  • bshhhh  cooool

  • Kids 10 and doesn't deserve it.

  • How much this run you man? thinking about purchasing one.

  • 9,000 MSRP but around 10,000-11,000 after taxes and stuff
