I'll go 1st. Over 60 practice rider. $11k budget.

1. Alta MXR- competitive (maybe a cheater) and different
2. Beta 480rr - beautiful, different and competitive
3. KTM/Husky 450 - OK competitive, just not beautiful or different

Still waiting for all the '19's to come out.

1) Alta MXR
2) ......
3) ......

For 2019, but I’ll probably buy it by the end of the year.

Plan on keeping my 2015 YZ450.

Followed by building a moto track on our 5 acres next spring.

1) 18 KTM 450 ... Will be something different to ride, but very similar to my 17 KTM 250sx (which I'm not selling).
2) 18 RMZ 450 ... Very easy bike to ride, turns awesome.
3) 18 KXF 450 ... Cheap

Been on smokers for 6 years. There are days I just want to lug around and roll the throttle. That's why I got KTM 450 first, because it has addressed 100% of the issues I had with 4 strokes. Only problem is I have never rode one and its the most expensive.

Mine is kind of speaking with a dozer rental right now if that counts. Keeping my 2 strokes but may add an Alta to the stable to keep the peace after 5-6pm.

Wallet going to speak next year on a ‘19 KX450F hopefully... as for now
1. KTM 450SXF/Husqvarna FC450
2. TM MX450
3. Suzuki RMZ450 (And dump a decent amount of $ into it)

For the record I’m pretty much a two stroke guy but I’m lacking a 450 at the moment...

1. 2018 ktm 250sx
2. 2019 ktm 350 sxf
3. 2019 ktm 450 sxf
Depending on what the kx450f turns out like that might be on the list.

Currently on a 2011 YZ250f. She needs to be put out to pasture yesterday. I've got the cash for whatever but I'm a cheap piece of crap.

1. New YZ250F or CRF250R. Whichever is most reliable.
1a. KTM350SXF. Dream bike but hella expensive.
2. YZ125.
