PICS - KTM demo rides at Daytona

It's SMR I think that’s the new 2005 designation

Just looked again top bike is MXC lower bike is SMR

I see you ride a crf how do the 2 bikes compare. The 525 vs the CRF450??

“I knew more about the bikes there then the KTM guys did” …

I have no doubt in my mind that you did. When I started reading this thread and seen the ktm set up I thought to my self man that must be nice to be able to get some questions answered buy some one that really knows those bikes well. Guess not, I have yet to go to a bike shop and they know more about the bike that I’m purchasing than they do. Isn’t it these peoples job to at least know some of the spec’s on the bike? Sorry for the rant.

Thanks guys for the bike comparisons. I’m interested in both the ktm 525smc and the crf 450 for use on the street. I own a 2003 CRF 450 (dirt use) and love it but that ktm has some features I really like to!!

Any one know the dry mass of the ktm or the wet mass of the CRF and a hp # for the 525?

Thanks

The 525 are listed on their web site as “Weight (ready to race, no fuel) 241lbs” and the dry weight of the crf is 218. I know that but what is the dry weight of the ktm? or the wet weight of the crf. Trying to get some figures that are comparable.

Thanks for the hp #’s
