2024 Husqvarna FE450 First Ride and Impressions

Picked up my dream bike, a Husqvarna FE450. This was my first ride and initial impressions. All I can say is it’s an amazing bike and we’ll worth the money.

Just picked one up. I haven’t even ridden it yet … Can’t wait to get some miles on it.

Ok, just had short first ride. WOW is all I can say at this point. I will try to follow up after more time with it, but so far I can echo everything you said. What an awesome bike!

Fellow 260 pounder here Love to hear bigger guys riding and having fun. And they keep saying 450's are overkill? A 250 ain't moving me like a 450. My son's 250 moves him just fine.

Congrats on your new ride! I have the same FE, picked it up last fall. It's a great bike, even here in New England. Ride on

great vid but you should look into getting a better mic

I’ve got a deposit in on a ‘24 WR450F waiting on it to come in, but I noticed that a dealer a few hours away has sales going on this month on Husqvarna and I could get a ‘24 FE450 for the same price OTD as the Yamaha. Now I’m torn! Did you ever test ride a new WR for comparison with this?

No, I came off an 04 WR so I new it would be good with the new updates but you can’t deny getting a KTM or husky for the same price is a no brainer. It’s such a better bike than the WR. The only thing I like more about the Yamahas are that it has the app to adjust mapping instead of buying a new ECU. Other than that, KTM/husky every day of the week.
