I took my new 450 out Sunday and I have to say, HOLY CRAP BATMAN! :-o :-o WoW! The bike is scary fast! I finally got the suspension dialed in and It is an amazing piece of engineering. This is the first time I ever rode a bike with fuel injection. The response is like flipping a switch!  Not sure why anyone would want to put a KX5 in the 450 frame. I still have lots of adjusting to do to get use to the power and way it handles!

You guys were right you can start it with your tennies on.  I think i kicked it 3 times to start it and once it warmed up 1 kick ever time! :-D :-D :-D

the 12 is an impressive bike, I haven't even tried the other two plugs to see what difference they make, it is so much fun riding it the way it came. I have an 11 also and I can tell you it isn't the same as the 12 not even close. suspension is better on the 12 as well. I've added the pro moto billett kickstand and an FMF pipe (not sure why), and Pro taper bars.

You have to ride one to really understand how good they are, granted they won't have the top end of a 500 they are still fun to ride, they could be a little quiter

I missed this post Alan. I'm glad to see the 450 works for you. There is definitely a place for the 500, but for all around, the 450's are all I need.

To be honest I have not been able to ride since the first time I took it out. Mostly just waiting for the heart doc to turn me loose!

That explains it. I went through a ticker problem a few years ago. I hope it doesn't keep you away from riding too long.
