I have an option on a really nice 2013 KTM 450 as an Amageza and general rough tripping bike... but I've been told the power delivery of the 500 is much preferable, despite the small difference in capacity. Good 500's are hard to come by unless you can pony up for a new one, so I was thinking maybe the 450 would be a suitable alternative... what's the opinion around these parts?
