the 525s has the best power to weight ratio. some magazine's test riders say it has to much power

the 525 might have the best power to wight stock but the yfz450 will pass it with very few mods. i think the yfz parts will be alot easyier to get than the 525 because there are so meny of them out there.

Actually, it takes a bit more then bolt on's for a YFZ to beat a Outlaw 525. Plus there both the same price and both have plenty of mods available. You can get a BB kit right from KTM and there are plenty of pipes for the Outlaw. The Outlaw has ton's more torque while the YFZ needs to be in the high revs. But either will make a fast dune quad.
