It's two in the morning here in Scotland nothing like a nice thumper and a Kaplan clip to wake me proper !!!

[@johnchopp3278]

I'm no 4 stroker. But that thing sounds crispy. 😆

[@codenamenoob4973]

The most competitive bike on the supermoto track today along with the KTM 450 SMR (almost the same bike) slipper clutch as standard too 👌

[@jerrymarcum9981]

Great video ! After seeing the older bikes all the time this bike is like something from space. So dang fast and powerful. Thank you.

[@BikerDarren24]

Another fan from Scotland here, my that sounds so sweet in my headphones and is ridden like a boss!!

[@dramjones5960]

[@jgs1703]

It was over 50 degree in iowa today. Its been awesome weather so far here. Hopefully that continues through January and February.

[@claywurzlow8487]

Always unexpected great coverage! Super fine !

Thanks for posting this just in time for my waiting room HELL wait at the Clinic

[@TheRealEMURSE]

Thats how i first found you with the other husky450 video haha sick bike!

[@officialmysteriousrider6327]

Very nice it all most looks like a number board on the front but it actually has a light specially with the tail tidy on the back

[@eclipsegfxable]

Crazy guy riding on slicks in the cold! Good shit man, fan from the UK

[@richardmorris7063]

I know it's cold up there,props to you for doing this vlog.its nice but it ain't no 2 stroke!

Un gran saludo desde Colombia!!

[@ianrobinson525]

Very nice bike, that's why I bought my 07 KTM 525 exc it's registered & can ride it anywhere. You got me keen to go for a brap now lol

[@schlottsseafood8781]

Its a beast! Its a small thumper beast!

Futuristic looking beast

[@syedasim8640]

My man can drive on snow in race tyres!! What a legend.

[@animal1061]

Oh my God. Does that come with a free out of jail card? I tell ya. I'm afraid to buy one. That's the best of both worlds.

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Beautiful, sharp looking, and fast bike, no doubt, if you are into 4 strokes. The only thing I've ever liked for strokes for, when it comes to motorcycles, are the 4 cylinder 4 stroke engines in Japanese Sportbikes.

[@porkchopdog5249]

Can't imagine this is still available for sale but can I ask what you guys used for headlight and brakelight set up?

[@stevenbrooks1243]

Bike sounds good

[@Philip_smith88]

Beautiful bike 🔥

[@stoney-wan]

That thing is minty 🤘🏻Very Cool

[@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443]

You should do a 2-stroke on every day of the week that ends with a "Y". 😁 I should get you Cobra pics over the weekend.

[@timmay29]

Curious to what you guys did to run the headlight and tight light? Different stator?

[@korymanuel7158]

Awesome machine

[@tuclance]

What a beast!

Husky does build a bad ass bike now, not sure about the old ones from 70s and 80s, but they got it figured out now.👍 Wheelie machine.

[@danielkarlsson608]

Yeah, since its a white KTM nowadays.

@@danielkarlsson608 I did not know that but that makes sense 👍

[@sethp0411]

Dream enduro bike so sweet

[@Willy_On_Wheels]

I’d say, for me the husky 701 or KTM 690 supermotos are the ULTIMATE hooligan machines but those 450 supermotos are ridiculously fun to ride lol.

[@petebusch9069]

Get both, one for the street and one for the track.

[@fl7645]

Great bike it scares driving it

[@calvindirkmaat]

Dang i need some street tires like that

[@frankfilippone9679]

Funny story, my friend has the same bike, I have a 03 Dyna FDXP with a 04 95ci S&S Hot setup , not the fastest HD but she’s quick , so I look at that husky and automatically figured it can do 100 120 easy? Hell no! Those bikes as awesome as they are! Definitely don’t go no 100 , I still can’t believe it but it was the first time my old Dyna police bike was actually faster then something else! lol not bragging, I know it’s a 450 vs a 1550 but was nice to finally be faster then something! We actually lost him about 5 exits behind us, but dam , it does look fast!

[@scottyd2262]

Very very nice !!!

[@RCRaceMan96]

What a BEAST !!!

[@moosby99]

damn that sound 😃🤘🏼🔥 had a husqvarna 501 supermoto! switched now to a ktm exc 300 tpi sixdays supermoto 😁🤘🏼 greets from austria ✌🏼

[@dimmacommunication]

Do you like the 300 as a supermoto ?

[@moosby99]

@@dimmacommunication hey :) yeah i loved it :) but for street riding the 4 stroke is a lot smoother to ride! thats why i switched back to a exc 500 supermoto 😌🤘🏼

[@dimmacommunication]

@@moosby99 How is it manteinance wise ? I think the 450smr is too " pushed " and requires way more care .

[@moosby99]

@@dimmacommunication yeah you are right! on the 450 smr/fs 450 you need to change the oil every 5 hours! on the excs you should change it every 25 hours!

[@branden_cruises]

Can anyone update me as to what specific “street legal” mods (like a full set one time buy comes with everything) I can get and where I can get them from as there is so many poor options out there - just need the ones that work and work well to fit I recently got the fs450 2017 with 40hrs on the clock so basically like new and want to convert it to the road 😅

[@dandingfelder6763]

Imagine a cr500 supermoto.... at least one can dream.

Seems strange Ken on modern 4 stroke

[@huskypoop4917]

hooligan machine good on the tight back roads or scooting round town

[@jessejarzabski5076]

straight up nasty..........ive been waiting for ken senior or junior to show us their STOPPIE skills and this would be a good candidate to try it!!!....welll not the safest to try in the rain but its all good..LOL......i really like how that header pipe has the power bomb style type mid section that bulges out and in and it almost looks like a small 2 stroke pipe in a way ...in which i even know alot of 4 stroke guys that swear by their 450s but they admit that the 2 stroke expansion chamber pipe looks more elegant and nostalgic than the boring regular ole 4 stroke straight small diameter pipes that is on every design......so the fact that they gave this pipe a boost in cosmetic allure makes it that much cooler!!!!

[@komanii3793]

How tall are you? it is good for me I am 185cm?

[@andreasbronwaller567]

Power from sweden 🤔💪🏻

[@darrensproule3153]

They're built in Austria in the same factory as KTM. Everything on it including the engine is KTM. Husqvarna hasn't been built in Sweden in years. The brand originated in Sweden

[@Eriu-88-88-]

Have you guys ridden the 500cc s.o.h.c ktm or husky ?? Will walk past your 2 stroke 500's like its nothing :)
