Be interested on what you think if you try a 2012 350 compared with the Crf450. Got a friend in work deciding between similar. I know the ktm is around 5lbs heavier than the crf450 in those years but people appear to say they feel lighter.

If i pick up a 12 I'll report my thoughts...i have heard the same feeling of lighter and thats what i am looking for.
Sounds good. I rode a mates 2018 ktm350 that was nice. Didn't really notice it to be any lighter than my 2013 crf450 when riding on the track but does feel it in the pits. Motor was nice, don't think it would give up much on the straights. Not quite as easy to lift the front wheel with just the throttle.

i got a 2011 350sxf, i bought it new. Its all stock except a spark arrested pipe. Change the oil and air filter every ride, and i have never had to touch the valves piston or anything its all still in spec with well over 150 hours. I dont like 450's, just too much low end power it wears me out getting on the gas coming out of turns. A newer bike would be nice, but i dont feel its needed, this bike really is perfect for me and the type of riding i do and my style. Never once have i felt the bike is holding me back. I can always twist the throttle more.
