i've had my mx450 for a bit now, just chucked the motard wheel's on. And having so much fun but the gearing they supply feels like it revs too high at 100kmh so just keep that in mind.
im in the market for a newish bike, i was looking at a few 2020-21 WR450F for the $8500-$9500 mark and they are fuel injected plus Yamaha are known to be reliable machines then i seen this, the MX450 for like $7950 with 3 month rego and lifetime warranty, im very conflicted but after watching a lot of vids and talking to some owners im now starting to think about a Braaap MX450
I am just interested in a follow up on your suspension setting and how you found it after playing around and finding a sweet spot. Also what mass are you? not wanting to be rude. but you know why i am asking. - would it cope with a bloke in the Plus 115 kg mark Plus gear or a suspension upgrade needed as on most bikes. Most bikes seem spring for the smaller rider 75 - 80 KG and a spring and shock upgrade often needed adding big dollars - My Honda added over a grand. for front for springs and new rear shock.
I actually like the suspension on this bike, I weight 80kg so it is in the ballpark of being the right springing for my weight. At 115kg you'll always find bikes being a bit too soft because as you say they are set up for around 80kg.
@australianoutback I'll bet most of what you own was made in China! Starting with the very thing you used to make your nonsense claim about not being able to go through a puddle! Shows how little you know about riding a bike. I'm sure your comment comes from a place of ignorance. No I don't work for braap , I'm not chinese and have not ridden one , but obviously the guy in the vid has and is trying to give people a fair review.
I don’t understand your logic here, many bikes from the 2000s and before we’re carbureted and you can ride them clean through puddles, have you ever ridden dirt bikes before sir?
They should make it something easier to understand like KTM with the XCW, XC. SX, SXF, XCF. Maybe they could call it the MXW since it has a headlight. Or maybe the MXFW because it's a 4 stroke with a headlight. Or maybe just call it a dirt bike.@@TheBikeStig
