2011 KTM 450 SX-F

Out for the first time with the new bike.

Here's the same trail back in June in 2010. You might see some difference in the foliage, the bike, the camera, and I might even be a little faster now.

And where is the KTM 530 EXC?? sold it? ..

but 530 is good had motobike think ???.. you satisfied with it?

[SkeldZ06]

@ktm5viktor5 Yes, I sold it. It was a good bike, just wanted to try something a little lighter and more agile.

@SkeldZ06 Is the 450 noticably different? Why the SX and not the EXC this time?

[SkeldZ06]

@topbanana188 Yes it's about 20 lbs lighter and much stiffer, as well as the newer chassis with linkage so it feels quite a bit different. I went with the SX because I wanted a 450 XC but they don't make it anymore. I didn't want the heavier, softer XC-W this time around. Trying something different mostly.

Great bike! Are you riding on private property?

[SkeldZ06]

@kf4tjp It is private property but it is a large uninhabited area that is used for logging, and people are generally free to ride in the area as long as they don't cause problems.

congrats on the new bike! wish it was me : )) one of these days tho! have fun..and we allllll know you will!!

[SkeldZ06]

@ktm5viktor5 Not sure, I would say 85 to 90 maybe, but it could probably go a little faster if it had more gearing. It is geared fairly short and really only likes to cruise around 50 to 55. Close ratio 5 speed.
