Honda CRF450R v Kawasaki KX450 2023 Comparison 

I have a kxf also but I'm not biast. The honda costs more for good reason

@@c4r5on88 crf has not placed in top 3 in any shoot out in a long time . There’s a reason for that too

@@c4r5on88 you have no clue

@@Ozfreerider_adventures those shootouts are a joke. They are ex pro and current pro riders paid by brands and biased like a mf. I’ll watch the shootouts but take zero from what they say to heart when it comes to which bike is best. I have a 2020 kx450f 2022 crf450r and a 2023 ktm450sxf there are good and bad about each. No bike is perfect. But they can all be setup for anyone’s liking. All about how deep your pockets are to get any bike perfectly dialed for you.

@@corylakics2737 yeah some bikes are just better suited to people I agree , as far as the test riders being paid , that’s the oldest cliche in the books that people crap on about non stop . Its some bullshit that people just think “would” be happening so they repeat it . If they are so easily paid off for these shootouts , go find me a shoot out in the last 4 years where honda has won a 450 shoot out . Find the video and post the link to it . Honda one of the biggest companies in the world I’m sure they’d have money to buy off a shootout . So go find it for me

Does to me also. Even feels smaller for some reason.

9 months later how often do you ride and do you still feel the same way. Looking to buy soon

I had a 21 YZ450F as well and sold it for same reason. Ktm and kx definitely more room on bike

@@stephenmiley5804 Im 6'4" 170 and my KX is perfect for this Old Guy 👊

As a taller rider, the 2023 Yamaha feels much better than the past. The Honda is a great bike for taller riders. The KX is a good all around bike, and it is a more cozy ride than the CRF, but I like the looks and feel of the Honda better. If you're looking for more of a laid back and cozy ride, the KX is the bike for you.

@@RedRider820 I'll agree with that .. I enjoyed my Hondas for years. Just had to move on to keep that smile on my mug 😉✌️

@@RedRider820 thanks brother !! I was leaning towards ktm or kx or yz lol but I’m a bodybuilder bout 250 now 6,1. I just like hitting jumps on the track and riding off haha I get lazy but always loved sending. and going bush. But yeh with the yz I felt like I was seat bouncing the 100fter at the track felt way more comfy but I didn’t move pegs or get higher seat or move the bars or get new bars. Love wheelies to. So a bike that feels comfy for a taller rider any 450 gonna have enough power to pop my heavy ass up. I did ride a 22 crf was smooth . But my buddy who rides it is a fkn midget hahaha so felt weird as on the settings he had at

Kx

Just beat a YZ on our 2005 CRF 450 lol

Never heard anyone complain about that on Kawasaki

@@dominicpayne23 just found out my hub was bent, that would explain it 🤣

what kind of tweaking?

I agree man. The kx is the better bike.

@@keithpeterson6108 For me it's not even close ✊✌️

Been on ktm since 2017. Just sold my 2019 ktm and went to kx450f. No regrets. Front tire is so much more planted on kx. I even had spring forks on ktm.

@@stephenmiley5804 Sweet my friend. You won't b disappointed 👍 Rode a 250SXF in 17 and 18 Loved it but struggled on the 18 450FE .. Nothing like this Kaw ✌️💪

Team green

No , its not.

Never heard of a single crf transmission blow up. You’re drunk

@@NickW90 I’ve seen 2 blow up in my club at Glen Helen
