**correction**
The weights and msrp numbers cited should be updated to the following:

Honda
Weight w fuel and fluids 291lbs
Msrp $9999

KTM
Weight w fuel and fluids 252lbs
Msrp $11599

That makes the Honda 14% cheaper than the ktm

And the ktm 14% lighter than the Honda.


INTRO
leave it to the nerds at Taco Moto to do an exhaustive full deep dive into the technical and mechanical comparison of these two titans of dual sporting.

it's not entirely fair to say that one is better than the other, even though on paper one could be called the winner due to it's technical merits - there's also the un-measurable variables of personalty, passion, excitement and rider engagement.

there's a hell of allot to like about both of these machines and depending on what you're after in a bike, who you are as a rider and what you're looking to spend one of these will probably make you more happy overall then the other.

which one is your favorite will be up to you to decide.


coming soon to Taco Moto are a full line of parts and components specifically designed for the CRF450L:

GET ecu with custom Taco Moto Maps
Dynojet Power commander with custom Taco Moto Map
Fork wrap 360 turn signals
Tidy tail


If you really want proof of the ktm reliability and usability take a look at RTW Paul riding his around the world

Or aaron stienman who DID ride his fully around the world!
