Rode one for the 1st time yesterday.
:ricky:

I did not expect the bike to pull so strong! I accompanied my friend on my husaberg 550 (which is a beast) and that little 450 was uber strong!
It was geared 14/48 (tall) and I did not expect such a lively bottom + mid and still having lots in upper rev range too  :thumleft:

I am almost certain that the 450X had more bottom + mid than my KTM450.

Comparing to my 550, it's VERY light! It also has more room; the distance between foot pegs, seat and bar is better than on my KTM/Berg bikes and I can actually stand on pegs without bending my knees. Also, it did not feel much less powerful  :eek:

I will definitely recommend this bike for some technical dual sport rides
