Riding a prototype of this machine in 2023, Romain Febvre has been proving that the new 2024 Kawasaki KX450 is just as capable as the previous iteration on the racetrack. But now it's time to really dig into the production machine and hash out what has changed. What do consumers need to know? Kris Keefer brings in Eddie Laret to dissect every detail after riding it all day at Glen Helen Raceway. Hear their thoughts on the feel of the Kawasaki as well as what is different, both good and bad, versus the 2023 model.

majority of buyers are not young top A/B class riders. most are Vet riders. This is an appropriate platform for the real market. you can always power up.

As a has been "A" rider and now a much older, slightly fatter VET rider... I approve this message.

@houstonhowell3618 22 дня назад

I’m not even in a class or my class has yet to be determined I guess but I bought the bike and though it’s stiff for my 135 pound body everything else has been pretty impressive, I’ve only rode Honda and Suzuki 450’s that weren’t mine so little to go off but so far the bike has been a dream. After I get the suspension tuned for my weight, I’ll definitely be getting a full exhaust to open her up and let her bark!

This is by far the best review of the 2024 kx450. There is not an even comparison with some other magazines. Its like they talk about another motorcycle. Thank Racer x and kris keefer 🙏🙏👍👍

I really like the direction in which Kawasaki went- a step towards ordinary users, not just racers. I’m super amped for this bike and you guys made me wanna ride it even tho I’m 100% sure that it would be too strong for me. Cool that you brought Eddie as he had interesting approach on how bike is made and what might be different when it comes to maintenance. As always, top quality content. Thank you Kris and RacerX.

@stevesmith756 11 месяцев назад

Def not slow like a 350

@cantgetright3657 11 месяцев назад

I’m faster on my 23 KTM 350 SX-F than I was on my 22 KX450 and some of that is due to the KTM being 17 pounds lighter

@scottjones4659 2 месяца назад

Nice review fellas! Just bought the 24 450X last night for approx 40% off MSRP. Sounds like I made a good choice, I’m basically a weekend warrior so the low end power issue is no problem. Can’t wait to ride it!!

@G-84TGM 7 месяцев назад

Awesome review thank you, your analyses were clear concise and well rounded. Thank you kindly my dudes🤙

@nil8urbudz708 11 месяцев назад

It's wild how the new bike feel is very similar amongst media but so conflicting about what is different on the new bike. Some say fork is the exact same and others saying the only thing the same is the spring rate. Ping only one to mention all the changes resulting in fork friction reduced by 80%, thus coatings were now absent. Here the 24 now $10,199 but all other word is $10,499 before destination charges confirmed on Kawi site.

@@cme982 KX450SR - it will have more power than base model with the proven comfort that Kawi comes with!

@cme982 10 месяцев назад

@@jonathondavis170 Ended up buying the KX450SR and testing it at Motobross Okechobee, FL. From the first lap, I felt completely comfortable on the bike. She is VERY predictable, you can steer her with the throttle on corners and VERY planted. Within two lap, I was already clearing the triple and every section, given it was my first time in that track. It gave me a sense of confidence that the KTM did not. Also, each moto was 15 mins. Since 9am till 3pm, I executed a total of 6 motos and not a single time did I experience arm up, the chasis is phenomenal! Overall, very happy with the purchase. Thank you for your feedback. :)

@dogger2186 2 месяца назад

What I need it is a BIKE that is not build for MIDGETS and can fit someone over 6'4"without uber mods/$$$ to open the up the cockpit. A wider frame so you can actually grip with your knees. Last bigger frame bike was the 2004 CRF450 was great! Even with drop pegs/mounts, X-Trig Clamps and taller bars still feel like I am going to fall over the bars jumping when leaning hard forward!

I was being facetious but actually the weight came from 3 areas, rear wheel hub, internal engine parts and they beefed up the frame even though they say it’s lighter
