I just got a 2017 450 KTM today. I ride with lower RPMs so the 450 suits me better compared to the 350. But i know that there is a lot of people that absolutely love the 350!

But like i said. I have a 2017 KTM 450 in the garage now. The 450 makes you lazy, you can use pretty much whatever gear you want in the turns because of the torque.
It had gobs more power everywhere but handled just as well as my 250F. I did get a bit more tired quickly but was def. way faster as I could still turn the thing just as well.
I am about 5'8" and 160lbs
So why do you want the bigger bike again?
All a 450 does for a fat person is let them get lazy with momentum.
450 was just too fast
250 is more fun to rev the nuts off it
250 is perfect on a trail(michigan)
250 is lighter
450 made me lazy, 250 still does to a point.
I'm your size and weight when geared up..love my 250. Have you considered going with a big bore kit?

It belies the "450s make it too easy" line from punters. It's why I will always support the 450s / 500s as the Premier class at the highest levels - it's always been about riders dealing with Monsters, and not just pinning smaller bikes.
