Any of the KTM 450's carb or FI I like them both for different reasons. I would never own a Honda, but would consider the Suzuki.

My dealer doesn't sell honda's so for me that is out but I do think it is a great bike. I don't want a yamaha so my choice would be RMZ or KX . I don't k ow much about either of the 12 KTM 's.

The KX-F has quite a bit better After-Market parts situation.

The RMZ has 0% Financing.

They're BOTH excellent bikes and you can't go wrong w/ either.

I like the "turn-in" on the Suzuki best.
I like the Power of the KX-F Best; but, it's not like the Suzuki is slow...at all.
I like the Suspension on BOTH...as in EXCELLENT.
Both Bikes REALLY like good fuel.
Both bikes hold-up/stay together pretty damn well.

Pick the one you REALLY want, find the Best Deal and GO RIDE!

Good luck!

Manny

I'll take that zx-10. must b nice to be wealthy!

HAH! far from wealthy. that's the roomy's zx10. and the benz just sits in the garage for fear of ever having to fix it if something breaks

i drive my moto van every day

the 08 and 09 rmz's are the same bike,. '10 '11 and '12's are basically the same bike cept you get the different plug-ins with the 11 and 12's. different frames on the 10 - 12 also and the motors pull alot better over the 08-09. i had an 09, 10 and now the 12, haven't even started the 12 yet tho.

you should try and ride one before buying, whichever you pick. honestly i dont think you could go wrong with any 12
