Ping is my favorite bike tester. I always enjoy his take on bikes. This Suzuki has gotten a ton of bad comments over the years but this kind of shows us that it truly is a great platform.

@zardportugal Год назад

After all the old Suzuki is GOOD enough to beat all the other brands. "Suzy´s" haters must be crying right now.

@902_Nick Год назад

Ping riding roczens bike ??? Didn't expect to see that after straight rhythm lol

@sexatica Год назад

Everyone In Cali has ridden this noe😂

@TheLoopy989 Год назад

lol I bet he suitcase’d the levers or bare butted the seat hoping it gets put on Kenny’s practice bike. That’ll show em

@dirtbikedave Год назад

There. Now everybody is sharing. Are we all friends again? Never count Suzuki out. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a kick lever. They should ALL have them!

@joshuaandres4550 Год назад

Just remember it’s not a rider review, it’s a bike review! Love ya ping, keep crushin it.

@scottackerman8981 Год назад

Ping is always so fast and smooth on a Suzuki. He still rides great, I'm impressed.

@peaceprayer595 Год назад

Fact here Ping. I was at a Suzuki Convention in Orlando, FL. RC was there and I asked the guys if I could pick his bike up off the stand. To my amazement, they smiled and said sure. That 450 felt like a 125 2 stroke...I was totally amazed.

@nickg0411 Год назад

what is truly amazing is how stock that bike really is. Stock linkage, stock triples ( lower from a 250) etc

@barnescycle Год назад

I've seen a few videos pop up on this bike but I watch ping 👍

@mxcollin95 Год назад

The dream machine ✊

@keithtarrier4558 Год назад

Cool!! And this is an awesome way for Suzuki to do a test ride day, with a bike that he has been the talk of the sport this year (because of KR) Props to Jamie at TD and all the other guys who made the big a winning machine.

@oxman1834 Год назад

Ping has a perfect style!

@aidansmith1354 Год назад

Good educated review ping. Keep up the great work mate. 👍🏻

@ArdenBallard Год назад

I’m shocked this happened. But I’m so happy it did!

@jasonyama1082 Год назад

Gorgeous bike 🔥

Nice piece Ping.

Shredding on that thing Ping ✊

@chrisvozza6530 Год назад

Thanks again ping

@miked9391 Год назад

did you thank ken for letting you use his bike :) 😁 great video. my dream to ride one of these

@MegaStreet11 Год назад

Ping, did they talk about specifics about the motor? Is the ECU mostly responsible for the linear pull or a combination of parts? Its just stunning that this is considered the "slow 450" yet most pros aren't pushing for more HPs, but the delivery.

@davidpingree9254 Год назад

Much of that power character is ecu tuning

@kylelangworthy9641 Год назад

I would guess yes jamie's e c u tuning and motor work. But the suzuki is already known also for real tractable power curve. I don't own one myself but a friend does and it is very, I don't want to say not fast,its very fast, but it is very manageable.

@blake_brennan Год назад

I went to an RM Army event at Ironman Raceway this year, and Kens mechanic was tearing down his bike and cleaning in for the SMX coming up, Kens bike has a lot of stock parts on it and so does the other 450 riders for Twisted Tea, I asked him about power of the bike, he said they pulled 4 hp out of the bike I would assume that’s after tuning he said Kenny said it was too fast, I have a 23 RMZ 250 with worked suspension I came off an 08 YZ125, The RMZ is an awesome chassis it’s just what Ping said, I don’t understand why it gets such bad reviews if in mostly stock form it’s extremely competitive

@nil8urbudz708 Год назад

If you rode the bike after Scrub Daddy then that is why they asked you about how the clutch felt 🤭

@keithtarrier4558 Год назад

hahahahahaha but true that!!

@davidpingree9254 Год назад

It’s making sense now🤣

@Paul.rides.motos.511 Год назад

I wonder if Roczen runs high bars due to his wrist injuries

@tomvondenstemmen9867 Год назад

ping rippin on that thing!

@phatho6901 Год назад

Did you say thank you to Kenny ? eL-0-eL

@donnieburger3721 Год назад

Ping did you tell Kenny thank you

@mikeandrews1899 Год назад

Damn .... That thing ain't half bad , after all 😳. Where's Jody Wiesel ?

@motozz8258 Год назад

Bike better than the ktmhuskagases haha for real ! O how much does it weigh marketing bench racing dribble . AP needs a Suzuki , at least.

@utahdesertrider1806 Год назад

What is the comparison to Jett’s Honda? Cuz Jett’s bike had similar comments

@Joe-pb3lx 9 месяцев назад

My question is: How did this bike compare to your racetech rmz450?

@CoolcatAMA-Pro Год назад

Wonder If Kenny would be faster on another brand

@lennartdiedrich2734 Год назад

he decided to go this bike after testing many. power isnt all in 450 class and after listened tp ping the handeling is unreal good, sor why are you thinking that.

@scottackerman8981 Год назад

No.

@sexatica Год назад

He was struggling to beat Webb some weeks on the Honda. Now he is giving a legitimate battle to Jett

@scottpeters8640 Год назад

I highly doubt it. I am hoping to see Dylan Ferrandis as his teammate this coming season. I think he would love this bike.

@PriapismSD Год назад

Since YOU got to ride KEN's bike, did you get to shit on it and then flip off his team on the way out?

@davidpingree9254 Год назад

No… I thanked every one of them and shook their hands.

@shmirdonkin Год назад

Competitive, but I watched jet's honda pull away from kenny out of the second corner and that uphill like he had 10 more horsepower.

@bradpowell843 Год назад

No doubt it’s competitive but your your constantly searching for tenths one of the new lighter, narrower bikes would make Ken even slightly better. Not to mention how much of a huge disadvantage a kickstarter is especially when it’s heavier than electric start bikes.
