I had a 450 XC when I bought my 300 XC-W. Had them both for a year or more, then sold the 450 b/c it was so rarely ridden. I prefer the 300 2s, but KTM makes both types so we can come to our ind. conclusions and have a choice. My next bike is likely to be a newer 300 XC, but my '07 still feels really good.

I'd still have the 450 if I rode MX or supermoto, but the 2s is awesome in the type of terrain I ride most, and I also like the greatly reduced maint. sched.

John, good luck w/ your racing endeavors - the 450 s/b a great bike for that! Keep us in the loop w/ how it goes!

I can already tell you how the racing will go....I'll be slow and finish poorly in each race that I don't crash out of, but I'll have a blast doing it.

Congrats mang. Swap out the factory coolant for water, mine was steaming like a pig last weekend after some particularly difficult singletrack.

I noticed nothing was said about your underwear, so I am going to assume you aren't changing that.
