2017 KTM 450 SX-F | First Impression | TransWorld Motocross

Hear KTM's David O'Connor and TWMX Magazine's Rich Taylor break down the 2017 KTM 450 SX-F.

[@vevohoeyo]

funny how all the brands are trying to put all sorts of tech into there bikes but, at the end of the day it's the rider who gets the results.. look at roczen killin it on a 9 year old rmz450. he makes that bike look like it's light years ahead of everything else..

[@mobgma]

Wait till SX season. He won't be winning anything.

[@vevohoeyo]

+mobgma now why's that?

[@MX-127]

9 year old bike ?

[@MXJEFF94]

He will be on HRC by then, he will be fine. The Honda is a great super cross bike. Besides...at the factory level they can make the bike whatever they want. As much horse power as they want and as light as they want.

[@TCON42499]

+Cody sansbury Suzuki hasn't revised it much the past 9 years

[@aronvincent1744]

Outer body looks like two stroke’s ,especially the rear set including rear mudgaurds.. Love from India🇮🇳

[@Pugman69420]

Glad I could find out how to activate launch control on my bike. You'd think they would have the manuals ready when they ship the bike.

[@Aint1S]

I remember when they were just putting there chamber onto the header pipe... That's come a long way this time, that's a huge chamber on that pipe. I'll stick with 2t, but this bike looks like a dream to ride... I hear him talking about the forks, but I'll hold onto my reservations.

[@stevenrix7277]

"it's a beautiful day out there, it is only 100 degrees" wow too hot for me.

[@lysidustravis8086]

It get's up to 115 here. 100 feels nice.

[@bearmims6717]

[@mahandda]

[@stevenrix7277]

[@northmanjourneys]

[@atvr3994]

2 Stroke for life

[@adamrantz3470]

Sure is a really nice bike altogether, compared to what's out there being thrown at people.

[@GaNgStAlBeRt]

WTF launch control+maps+traction control dirt bikes are getting modern

[@bamadondon0495]

GaNgStAlBeRt too Modern.. Whatever happened to just sitting on the back fender an clicking gears!?!?!

[@MMACHMP]

2017 Honda just shown today and its 20 pounds heavier then the KTM Japan better start figuring this shit out soon

[@Thom1883]

id take this over a woman any day.....

[@ogasi1798]

[@GaNgStAlBeRt]

[@1231kruss]

I've got both...You're better off with just the bike.

[@Taco4banger]

hahhahahahahahah so true

[@makyahkreis965]

GaNgStAlBeRt don't need two things stealing your money....

[@MariaSilva-pv2ni]

Sonho de consumo 😍

[@jylestraverse2180]

4 strock for life

[@Thom1883]

[@keiannschyler]

[@seanmuirhead5017]

HAHAHAHA

[@troyzane8376]

teeburshow I'm fuckin dying

[@jchavins]

should the locations of the new switch and the kill button be reversed so that the traction control be utilized during the moto ?

[@smiteriuszryceriusz1258]

i Yamaha fan but ktm 2017 is rly nice

[@Oxigan2win]

KTM boyz - eat my YZ 250 2-stroke dust!

[@drsolaris909]

These things are mean. I’ll never touch a 2 stroke again. Lol

[@amanda19oktover48]

I need sleep

[@davehilton7136]

I'm 4ft 2 with size 12 boots, would this be a good bike for me? lol

[@TeKaMOTO]

So did it settle? :D

[@ahmedmunir2934]

woww, aku suka

[@alexzanderarmstrong]

taylor and ping are the only two that should be doing these kind of vids.. take a kinda boring informative vid and make it entertaining as well.

[@saviosilva9597]

Só queria uma KTM 450 ou então uma Super Duke 1290

[@jayfelix2976]

Is that a expansion chamber?

[@christopherwilliams4520]

Same bike different accessories moral to the story 10,000 to get the bike. think a 16 or 15 will still do you good

[@maximuspiercefield71]

Friken wicked

[@TuningFork426]

umm traction control????!!!!! goodbye yamaha hello ktm

[@ONEBADZ]

Patrick K I must be old school but I have no clue why anyone on a dirtbike would want traction control. Kinda takes the roost throwing, wheel spinning, sand blasting, rock shooting fun out of dirtbiking doesn't it?? Isn't that what dirtbike get is all about?? Hooligan shit??

[@TuningFork426]

ONE_BAD_Z I ended up buying another Yamaha KTM is expensive as shit, I'd buy one if I was rich

[@ONEBADZ]

Patrick K I'm on a Kawi...well 2 different Kawi's but I sure LOVE the new Yamaha 450's. They even ranked right up there with the KTM in the 2017 shootout!! Maybe one day lol. KTM is crazy priced man but everyone I know whose had one says they'll never own anything else...course that may be due to them being broke AF from buying the one they have 😂

[@mrjumbolegz6483]

tc is for wussies

[@TuningFork426]

MrJumbolegz so we're 4strokes, untill people realized they could go faster on them

[@Arturo-je1wg]

how much?

[@2wheels1love21]

if u want a dirtbike buy a ktm. if u want half a bike buy Japanese!

[@BrainEatPenguin]

Where can I buy a Japanese?

[@2wheels1love21]

+vevohoeyo haha!!!

[@MX-127]

+vevohoeyo lol

[@jchavins]

air on just one side ? what happens when the fork seal leaks ? no thanks

[@vevohoeyo]

everytime I'm at a track day or mx event there's always a couple of guy's with KTMs that won't start or just fuk out

[@quintinklanderud1828]

the only thing i hate about this bike is that they changed the kick start to a electric start

[@MX-127]

It's been that way for a while

[@andrewewing8969]

Someone count the amount of "a little bit" this dude says

[@corinful]

Is he a paddy?

[@ChucksWet]

He sounds like he is haha

[@DaShnipa]

Francophone Irishman? lol

[@corinful]

+ktm8529 😂

[@corinful]

+DaShnipa 😂

[@MrHotcorvette]

corinful , andahalf

[@ArkiTalo]

wow better than my yamaha dt 127 1997 model hahaha ;p

[@brianlong9669]

but they still cant outrun ken roczen on his rmz450 lol but to be fair all the 450s r pretty much equal its all in the rider

[@ktmcrush2290]

brian long exactly remember kenny on ktm

[@solomoniberda3800]

hmmm...👍

[@SoLaRpLeXis03]

Make the 450s and 250s so you dont have to change the oil every 10 hours

[@maykegame_plays6590]

Ok

[@interm912]

Haha..the trail version waste of time..FFE ?? Why would you by a bike with the updates from last years ffe?by the ffe and stay on a up to date race bike.or by a used ffe .

[@kawasaki000000000000]

nice bike but they are putting to much crap on theses bikes like do you really need traction control on a dirt bike

[@rustyshackleford5549]

air suspension sucks

[@0614172264]

its like waiting in a elevator! let the music off please!!!!!

[@sharkez7560]

Polska góra

[@RBFR01]

What the fak would you put traction control on a dirtbike!???

[@TheMyronStube]

traction control on a dirtbike crazy lol how much does this bike cost

[@hreindustries]

All this electronic shit is so dumb i hate the direction ktm is going with their bikes

[@nfvelocity9209]

In my local ridenow the 2017 450 costs $9,400 :/

[@quintinklanderud1828]

like the stupid ass electric start instead of kick start

[@mareksumguy1887]

I'm guessing the "traction control' isn't all that effective (read: sophisticated). You'll still get wheel spin... just not AS much. I don't know if it's worth it. Kind of dumbing it down.

[@mareksumguy1887]

Actually... listening to the guy at the end... its barely "traction control"... more of a marketing ploy (read: GIMMICK).

[@louispeeters5529]

twenty Does anyone hear larger than this*video?

[@9gagerofl]

What they didnt tell you is that bike msrp's for 13k haha

[@marinaperez4754]

2

[@Grizzlee760]

Geez. Nobody needs all this stupid modern tech add ons. Make a bike with a good motor and REAL suspension

[@johnsalva1534]

who needs traction control on a dirt bike??? that's for ppl that don't know how to ride..

[@ayeshaimtiaz1378]

[@sharkez7560]

[@bf.258]
