Stock KTM.

Trick it out with the parts that YOU want.

From what I understand, not having owned any of these, the 04 ktm is much
different than the 03--taller, more powerful, the only weakness being a
rear brake that is prone to heat fade. If you don't want to spend the $ on
the 04, I'd probably go with the stock bike over "tricked out."
