    More weight... less power... no dlc coating... slow feeling.. 🐌 sounds like a real winner!

      They always play it off like this...as if it is a better bike than the outgoing model it is replacing. A couple of years from now, they will be saying that Kawasaki took a step backwards with the 2024 model year...

    If theu reduced friction by 80%, then it would not seem too far fetched that a couple of clicks would make a big difference.
    Especially since they were literally talking about a weight (175 lbs) that fell right in the middle of the stock target weight range of 170-180 lb riders.
    Matter of fact, I did go grab a 24 KX 450 and experienced exactly what they're talking about, and I am nowhere near a pro level Rider
    But, way to question guys that have been involved in every aspect of the industry for their entire lives!
    Thanks for the killer content gentleman!
    Im ready for a .ore in depth follow up video!

      That's why went KTM an never looked bk. Better engines , transmission & clutch. Better build quality. Smoother, stronger power. All '24 450s are great for sure but for $11-12k i want my bikes to last 150hrs+ before rebuild minimum. -Ohio

    It looks incomplete... It looks asif it got rushed off the assembly line straight into stores , i mean look at thoses hoses and clamps its just not pretty it looks rushed but all due respect its an beautiful bike and something id love to own myself, i mean Kawasaki is going the right way for me good suspension decent rotors dics uhm what i can see wow but ,what are those ugly extra holes where the engine mounts to the cylinder head and flinsy air filter😂 i im bit sceptical ,probably wrong but they probably did more research than i did, but am just wondering about the small stuff , bike just sounds ugly with miss matched calipers and weird air box , i mean straight flow means more power , but this box goes up and then down... Not complaining,just questions

    So they add traction control to motorcycles so the rider doesn’t learn to ride? That’s stupid.
    We don’t need fancy shit in these bikes. 90% of riders just ride. Most don’t race and most couldn’t tell the difference between brands.
    Manufacturers, keep it simple. Bring back carb’d 2 strokes so everyone can have their choice. Cheap, intermediate and Austrian.

I really wanted to go out and buy this BUT all the bad reviews have put me off and im going with another choice of bike for the first time. Never owned a ktm so im going with that. I was a down and out kawasaki fan boy. Times are maybe changing
