Why would you take 450 over 690/700ccm?

[@RobboRobinson]

The main reason I have this over the slightly bigger bikes is the weight and manoeuvrability. I can take this bike in to some really tight places knowing if I have to I can man handle the bike out of a hole if needed. I've even done pivot turns on it on the odd occasion. Another big factor is carrying out any mechanical work if needed. It's so simple and easy to work on. I've had the experience of working on and riding bigger bikes and they just don't do it for me. Having a campervan I can take the bike anywhere set up base and ride out for the weekend so no mega road miles. I like to take it into some technical areas where it would be unsuitable on the bigger stuff.

Thanks! Very informative and touch few important for me spots as well. I might have to rethink my choice for 701!

Great video. How do you think the GPX 450FSE would compare to your KTM? And do you think your seat would fit the GPX 450? Thanks Robbo

XL comfortable fits gpx.

The GPX 450 is a good bike. In comparison it lacks the performance of what the KTM 450. Something like 40hp v 49hp. Also the weight difference is probably 10kg or maybe a tad more on the GPX. Hydraulic clutch v cable clutch. A plus for the GPX is longer service intervals. It’s all a matter of what’s your budget and expectations. I wanted lightweight & performance so had to spend some cash. The seat is available for GPX bikes.
