Thank you for not putting music on the riding part. Really appreciated.

[realtv]

Mostly an all new bike but we're most excited about the soft grips 😂

[pheasant]

Every single test outlet is saying it’s slower than what they expected. Usually that means it will handle good. It looks good

[jeffwixon]

You were rippin, Thanks for not using any music

[onlygazza]

This engine sounds incredible just a long pull of power 👌

[StefanMailey]

We like the 20$ grips.... Informative!

[evanmiller]

Bikes are now so good its taking grips awhile to catch up. Its about time.

[Roxtarquattrony]

Hey, anybody knows more about the new rear hub. Does that mean the 19-23 Wheel Fitz Not in 24 anymore?

[daverupes]

We are excited about the soft grips😅 now that's a update I couldn't live without. That should have been scripted a bit better. Heard the forks are not the same either turkey. Stick to riding you were good at that! Looks much more composed in the rough to me with the new chassis !

[cme]

@DirtRider Excellent content! You gave us instant rider feedback of the things that stood out the most to you while riding it. Overall, great video and superb riding!

I am on the fence on buying this or the 24YZ450F, which one would you go for and why?

[James-xbdd]

Almost $11, 000, heavy, slow, but they like the grips, that's hilarious 😂

[jonphotos]

The forks r not the same. All new internals for an 80% less sticktion that’s why no dlc coating.

[WhiteoutSnowy]

Buy a leftover 2023 kx450f and save $1700 or this 2024 and no savings, which ? Tough call

[tieNagle]

When I spend $11k I want good $20 grips... :D

[sdb]

Geez. Still big, bulky, and even worse, heavier! Same humongous swingarm, and fugly front fender and number plate. Frame spars still look massive. If l did get a Kawie, it’d be a ‘22 SR.

[danoa]

I like how Mxa do their first rides. More than 1 test rider opinion and more in-depth explanations, brembo brake is more important than new grips .

[Michigancvhi]

Why are all these test riders so excited about grips.. that’s the cheapest thing to upgrade

[stmboat]

Dude shouting underestimates the microphone. Watch your videos and then listen to them.

Looks like she rips but typical horrible looking aluminum welds…strong, Im sure. But the newbie Im teaching tig is better hung over. Looks like poorly programmed motoman welds.
