Motocross Action Magazine tests the 2023 Kawasaki KX450SR at Glen Helen Raceway. What makes this bike different than a large majority of the factory editions available in 2023? This bike has a lot more done under the hood than bolt-on products. A 4-horsepower gain in power and a higher level of suspension are just two of the upgrades available with the SR. We break down all the details in this video, our likes list, our quibbles, and what it feels like on the track. Is this the bike for you to buy in 2023? We answer that as well.

Great stuff. Love the SR. Thanks for posting. Always looking forward to your next video.

@morley3810 Год назад

That opening sequence up to 1:20 is as rad as ANYTHING I've ever seen on film. Makes me want to shove my laptop off my desk and load the bike up for a rip!!!

@plutus205 Год назад

It seems worth it. If I were to buy all those parts separately and port and polish the head then it would be way more that $3000. Seems like a good deal to me.

@Davido50 Год назад

Yes definitely! KTM 450 factory edition is a beast too. Love em both! -Michigan

I just bought a 23 about a month ago, I was just wanting to buy a 250 but I bought 23 450SR for what I could buy just a KX250 so kinda a no brainer. The 450 SR had been sitting on the showroom floor for a year. Im 64 years old my last dirt bike was a TM125 almost 50years ago.....prolly aint got no buisness with it but love riding it

Prices of bikes is getting insane, back in 2009-2010 a new 250 could be bought for $5k-6k. Even 250 2 strokes were around 7k not long ago. Wish 2 strokes would come back from all manufacturers and make them competitive like they do the 4 strokes.

@Greenwood163 11 месяцев назад

Only thing that I don’t like about the video is the bike has the dam front brake line infront of the number plate the new kawis have a place to hide it behind the number plate now. Seeing the cable shoot up above the number plate every time the forks compress just looked bad u couldn’t keep my eyes off it once I saw it

Just the quality of the Metal and plastics and everything they use just seems cheap. If you really look at a Honda vs Kawi next to each other after 10 hours of ride time.. Kawi's are just cheaply made IMO

@herbcanter2114 Год назад

This is 100% correct Kawi's are crap and the parts do wear out much faster than other brands . Thats why they look worn in and old after minimal use compared to other brands.
