Any one riden one in direct comparison with the 525 exc, i have the chance of a decent second hand 525 or i could just go for broke and get a new 530.
I want to start competing in local enduros and like the power delivery of the 525 so was wondering how the 530 compares? anyone care to comment

Nothing to do with a 525 to 530 comparison but Ive got a CRF450. Im looking to swap to a smaller bike, KTM 250 or maybe 300. I find the 450 a handful on Enduros, a real energy drainer.
