Are they reliable? I know the 125cc needs alot of maintanence like my rs 125. And was wondering since these are basicly race bikes put on the road, if they need alot of maintanence?

Im looking at a 400cc one.

Also would you compare a YZ426F compared to a 400c Husq for me please? As im wondering whether its worth spending another £1000-£2000 on a Husq..

All bikes like these.KTM.>Husabergs>Huskys>VORs etc are all failrly good but they sure aint no Honda Confused

Never buy exotics unless you have the dough and patience to keep them FULLY maintained.

My KTM is a fantastic bike BUT it needs oil/filter every 600 miles or 10 hours.



I suppose its a bit like being married but with more frequent rides on superior suspention

Make don't matter. A Honda CRF 450 supermoto requires an oil change after every decently long trip. if you are worried about too much maintenance, then stay away from the 400-500 bracket of 4 stroke supermotos. They have even shorter maintenance intervals than the 600 size supermotos.

More to the point stay away from those that have a competition bias.
Believe you can get some lower tuned bikes in that area - but even enduro bikes with a competition bias are going to need a lot more upkeep than a rs125.
