Thanks for the info...
Went to a KTM dealer today who advised me to go for the 450 exc.
Told to stay away from the 530 as it would probably bury me and be uncontrollable..
Gotta say Im liking the look of the 690 now tho too.....
Think orange is the way forward for me...
The dealer is talking bollocks!
The 530 is much easier on the rider than the 450 with lots and lots of mellow power, not as flighty as the 450 unless you decide to give it the full beans - in which case it will fly.
The 690 sounds like the best option given your 70/30 split in favour of tarmac, if it was the other way around I'd say 530 every time.
