Mostly an all new bike but we're most excited about the soft grips 😂

@pheasant2323 10 ай бұрын

Every single test outlet is saying it’s slower than what they expected. Usually that means it will handle good. It looks good

I'm so glad it's mellowed out. My yamaha 450 is a rocket and hard to control. I'm getting this kawi

Thank you for not putting music on the riding part. Really appreciated.

Almost $11,000 , heavy, slow, but they like the grips, that's hilarious 😂

Geez. Still big, bulky, and even worse, heavier! Same humongous swingarm, and fugly front fender and number plate. Frame spars still look massive. If l did get a Kawie, it’d be a ‘22 SR.

Good luck getting one, they only sold one per dealer, there’s only about 4 here in Idaho and my uncle has one

Buy a leftover 2023 kx450f and save $1700 or this 2024 and no savings , which ? Tough call

@aydenrich262 10 ай бұрын

Well, since I have a 2019 which is basically a ‘23, I’d take the ‘24

The forks r not the same. All new internals for an 80% less sticktion that’s why no dlc coating.

We are excited about the soft grips😅 now that's a update I couldn't live without. That should have been scripted a bit better. Heard the forks are not the same either turkey. Stick to riding you were good at that! Looks much more composed in the rough to me with the new chassis !

@DirtRider Excellent content! You gave us instant rider feedback of the things that stood out the most to you while riding it. Overall, great video and superb riding! I am on the fence on buying this or the 24YZ450F, which one would you go for and why?

@aydenrich262 10 ай бұрын

Definitely the kx, not because I have one but because I’m hearing a lot of the 23 yz450s and 24yz250s aren’t making it past 50 hours

@@aydenrich262 Well, as much as I would like to defer, (all time YZ fan here), you are absolutely correct. Have seen several videos in YT with known privateer riders having this issue in their new Yamahas.

I like how Mxa do their first rides. More than 1 test rider opinion and more in-depth explanations , brembo brake is more important than new grips .

@DirtBikeMagazine 10 ай бұрын

Sorry you are upset. We gave a review without making the video a documentary & made it simple. Some people don't want all that. We go for a more direct approach. Glad you enjoyed the MXA video! We have at least 3 test riders on every test.
