Motocross Action's 2025 450 Shootout

#motocross
The 2025 MXA 450 Shootout ranks all seven of the major 450 four-stroke dirt bikes, helping you make a better-educated decision with your hard-earned money. The MXA wrecking crew rides, races, and tests bikes year-round. While each rider has their favorite bike, this video represents the accumulated opinion of Motocross Action. For 2025, five of the seven models received big updates. Honda has a new frame, Yamaha has updated suspension settings and a different linkage, and the Austrian bikes (KTM, Husky, GasGas) have updated frames as well. The Kawasaki saw minor changes, and the tried-and-true Suzuki stayed the same.

Finally someone does it right. Very exciting shootout with UNBIASED review. Most importantly, not afraid to hurt people’s feelings. Very different from the guys from ( you know where ) with their attitude of “ I’m tired of shootouts” and their flat out nonsense reviews that are all based on their connections with certain brands and people/friends from the industry.

3 shootouts from 3 different channels with different results. So, theyre all equally good bikes, just pick a color.

Love the retro styling on the new Honda. Great reviews across the board. No bullshit or pandering, just honest, to-the-point reviews and ranking of each bike. This is how shootouts are supposed to be done.

When will you guys do a 100 hours no maintenance shootout to see which bike the most reliable seeing as how that’s more important to the average consumer than any of the things mentioned during these shootout videos.

The MXA videos have come a long way. So much more fun now. Great content. Keep it coming, boys.

You guys are making Monty Python commercials Dirt Bike Magazine is using A.I. voice for their videos....thank you Motocross Action

I've always preferred MXA....even in the olden days of the 80's when you had to go get the paper mag at the local Quickie Mart. Yes, I have a garage full of KTM's but still respected MXA when the Austrians didn't do so well.

Honda with a well deserved 2nd place this year. They finally got that bike right. Love the ergos and power delivery.

With such a price difference between 1st and second place , as a potential customer i will buy the Honda hands down .

[jedielder]

Glad to see you riding again, Josh (at least it seems you are). I always look forward to your reviews. Thanks.
PS: I would choose the Honda for most weekend warriors who don't want to spend a lot of money in the long run and avoid some headaches.

Of all the motocross bike tests. This is the only one I believe is real.

[Scythe_Voltage]

My dealer wants 10, 200$ after taxes and fees for the RMZ450 that comes in next month 😂 I pooped my pants

[joelaliberte]

umm.. this was by far the best shootout video this year. Way to keep your ads entertaining and im sure your sponsors appreciate that too. I like swap moto as a person but his shootout video wasss horible lol.. maybe he can bring back some TWMX poster girls to the vids.

The prices on these bikes are really starting to get out of control. This used to be a working man's sports.

[JustinNicholson-fj]

In a way I love how every year you give the RMZ such a poor review, keeps it a secret on how excellent this bike really is. Every time I let someone ride my RMZ they are impressed and talk about it for days. These bikes handle so much better than most, and they are so reliable. And it’s a better bike for the heavier rider, 180 lbs+. Which is pretty average weight for most men.

EVO Industries can make the Suzuki's suspension work and it handles like a dream when it's valved correctly.
