Detailed SPECS are in the description for those curious! Sorry they're not in the video, but I had a mic issue on the ol Sony during pre-ride shooting. SUBSCRIBE!!!

The engine stalled ALOT when I first bought the bike. Wasn't happy about it, but Honda said that was just part of breaking in the motor. They were right. At 1000 miles, flame outs are nonexistent. If you consider the bike light and powerful already, well it only becomes a better bike with a replacement pipe, silencer, and vortex ECU. I love the bike. Just slapped on a set of tubliss to get more traction for the torque the bike produces.

Own one have 8.567 miles it’s fucking awesome when I got mine chain was way too tight the idle was low and would shut off the stock tires are trash I love the bike I have had 5 ktms 2 Suzuki’s a wr all enduro /dual sports this 450l is By far my favorite as lone as you can set it up right

[Rideskishore]

My 450L cut out on me while driving once (while down shifting), within the first 50 km. Now that the engine has broken in it hasn’t done it since. It runs very lean so you have to get used to that.

[JackedRado]

I ride a 450x supermoto and would loooove to have one of these just for the efi and extra gear. If I stall on the street it takes me like 10 minutes of cranking and kicking to get it going again. It’d be so nice to tap the starter button and be running again

[seanboyd]

When you got on that dirt track you did not disappoint... best hidden gem on YouTube

[Ummmmmkay]

This is gonna be my starter bike soon hopefully.

[stevenleininger]

I have 500 miles on my 450l and burn outs stopped and the throttle sensitivity got better or I just got more use to it .get a seat concept xl comfort and some zeta pro hand guards first thing.

[flint]

love the videos.Keep yourself motivated

[Mjr]

On mine the vibration and the occasional stalling went away on mine after 500 miles.my first mod was a seat concepts seat.

[MrLou]

Good stuff. New aspect is working great. 50k subscribers soon

[jimmytheshark]

Does it have a fuel gauge or fuel light?

[martinf]

If you make 50/50 road /off road then put 50/50 tire like
Shinko 804 & 805 Series Adventure Trail Tire . so put the tire you need for the use you make

[rocketrollsvlogs]

It's so hard for us to find dirt back here in DC. I love the bike, but it's hard to find places to ride.

The shutting off is common among people when they first get to ride. You get used to it.

Honda CRF 450 more for off road really that's not good cut out great review thanks 👍💯🇬🇧

[jamesbreen]

Just need a power commander or have the ecu tuned to fix the leanness and on/off of the throttle. Thanks EPA.

[yhoyvzz]

Coming from a 18 year old that back flips a 450 I am extremely amused thanks for the content

[stevenleininger]

That's a 2019 .new 2020 has a bigger black line on front plastic.

[jdtractorman]

Why is a Honda 450 more expensive than a Honda 650? It's a lot too, about 4000 bucks? When you start from a stop, what gear do you start out in? Every time you slow down you have to downshift right? You can tell I've never rode a bike like this. Rode Honda four wheelers before many times but they had automatic clutches, let off the gas and shift pretty much.

Can you do a review of the Rebel 500 2020
