Nice bike man

Does the 5 pounds heavier weight vs last years model make a noticeable difference in the ride/handling? My 22 felt like a tank compared to my 23 KTM 350 SX-F

[@thebrad935]

Honestly it feels slightly lighter than the previous model and thinner

[@quadcityracing]

New model is really 5lbs heavier? Why?

[@cantgetright3657]

Wish I knew but Motocross Action Magazine confirmed I’m right in what I saw in the spec sheet for the 24 vs the 23 on weight and will let us all know why soon.

[@pags1981]

​@@quadcityracingnew frame, rear shock mount, engine mounts and beefed up rear hub have increased weight

Very much anticipated!! How was it?

[@AndrewDeVries211]

It’s not my bike but I did make 2 laps on it. It felt familiar having a 2021 kx450 previously, but really I don’t have much of a useful opinion. Zero complaints. The suspension felt much more plush compared to my 300sx. The power on a 450f is unreal. Where I have to shift a bunch you can leave it in 3rd and lug over everything. For example. A 180 turn, take the inside and still have the torque to get over a quick double. On the 2stroke, I feel the need to take to outside for s better run up. Great bike

[@ralphgodwin5143]

I appreciate the feedback. I have been giving it a lot of thought whether to pull the trigger on one or not. I like the changes to the airbox and the Brembo front brakes. However, I have heard a lot of complaints about bolts stripping and plastics cracking etc etc on the Kawi's. I am currently on a '22 KTM 350 SXF which is a great bike. I just want to jump up to a 450 to be a little more lazy haha.@@AndrewDeVries211

I can tell you first hand to be extra careful with any 8mm bolt on a kawasaki. The new filter design is a breath of fresh air. Plastic. I usually only have issues with the fork guards but they get abused the most. Brembo front brake is nice lever isn't skinny like previous model. Overall it seems to be a great package

[@ralphgodwin5143]

@@thebrad935 It’s definitely a shame about the bolts being an issue. But not a deal breaker at all. I’m leaning real hard towards Kawasaki for sure. It’s more than likely between that and the Yamaha. I love my KTM and I really have nothing bad to say about it, I just want to try something different and something with spring forks for a while.

​@ralphgodwin5143 I have spent some time on a 23 yz 450 and this is my 24 kx450 both are great choices
