With single cylinders the vibes kind of smooths out after5-10k. As for the side stand being short, i think they deliberately did that because they expect you'd go offroad and you'd want a shorter sidestand which helps when you park on rough tarrains

Growing up on bikes in the late 1960s and early 1970s most bikes vibrated a ton. Yamaha 650s, Honda 450s, most two strokes, Harleys, Triumphs and the single cylinder Ducatis. My 2017 Royal Enfield 500 is comparable to the vibes to those of my early years. I would expect smaller displacement bikes won't used as much at higher speeds for all day distances as we did with those bikes of yester year. Vibrations are a factor but shouldn't be THE factor on bikes of this type unless you are doing 70 mph all day rides.

I like a bike that has some vibration, it give it character, and I think many modern riders are after or too use to smooth motors. I once rode a vintage BSA single, now that had vibration. I own a 1988 HD Lowrider, it vibrates, but it is more a shake or deep vibration with the 36 year old rubber mounts.

Those that have test ridden the 452 have done so on low mileage bikes. Do they not remember how much the 411 vibrated until it had a few thousand kms on it? I have owned lots of big singles over the years and they vibrate as they all do, even with balance shafts. Worst had to be the 1981 XT500 I owned. Horrendous vibration throughout the rev range. As for the sidestand, I had the one on my 411 cut down. Looks like I'll be having the stand on my 452 (when it arrives!) extended.

I would say yes. If you are sensitive to the frequency of the vibes a particular bike puts out, that is absolutely a reason not to buy it. For example many people say the 890 Adventure is smooth, yet if you read between the lines on some of even the early reviews you'll find mention of the vibrations. It's a high frequency vibration so not like a Thumper and something which I find far more annoying than the thud of a decently balanced single cylinder bike. It's not peg vibes that most are sensitive to, it's handlebar vibes, then seat and pegs.

Parallel twin engines should be standard. Single cylinder motorcycles should truly not be built anymore. The performance and overall smoothness of a twin makes it the perfect engine. They need to give people more two cylinder small bore dirt bikes. A KLR450 twin would be a way better motorcycle than a KLR650 single.

I would say a way around it would be to fit highway pegs to a low crash bar if they do offer one. The pegs can be bought from amazon/ebay for peanuts. That should alleviate that issue. Good video to make though as I heard people complaining about this. Keep up the good work and stay rolling! 🏍 👍🏿

The worst thing in the Universe in 2024 is that motorcycles refuse to have a proper 6th gear overdrive. Why are people tolerating low geared streetbikes with no overdrive in 6th? An overdrive transmission would negate 99% of vibration by putting an actual load on the engine. It should be turning 3000 rpms at cruising speed. We need to stop tolerating these horrible low gear ratios.

new bikes vibe more and some people 'reviewing' these bikes are quick to say anything to grab attention - anyone who bought a new one knows this. I remember my 1st brand new bike which was an R1 I had massive desire for and saved so hard to get, I nearly took it back and asked for the return of my GSXR 750 i traded in for it because it was horrible at 1st - i went to the shop and they told me what was what and surely enough after 1st service and every 100 mile after that it got smoother and smoother - experience matters. FTR a 450 single will vibrate and buzz - it just will - if that is not acceptable it is the wrong bike.

At low RPM, vibration isn't annoying.

As pointed out in many comments below, and from some reports of med/high mileage bikes in India, the engine will smooth out significantly after 5-10,000 km. In comparison I have a V11 Moto Guzzi 1046cc V-twin. The main vibes betwen 3500-4500 took well over 12,000 km to disappear. Second point is that fitting slightly weightier bar end weights is a simple fix for vibes through the bars. These are cheap and simple to fit.
