Ive always been a yamaha guy. But damn these Hondas look good. And I'm a tall guy who likes to steer with the front. The tall seat looks like it would be nice for tall dudes. Wish I could still ride. I'd like to get on one of these. Those stock mufflers sound like poop though.
I've been a Yamaha guy too. Had three in the last three years and I can tell you that my 18 450 is the worst bike I have ever had. Unreliable piece of junk. I've put 12 hours on this year and average about 50 in a summer. It has sat in the shop pretty much since I purchased it.
Chase Hewett I love Honda’s and have a ktm now .... but man ... they are pretty similar in price brand new... and idk about breaking too easily... mine has been solid
Please do more dialed in vids. I appreciate that you don't just say automatically that something is better. Even though it would seem expected. I'm so sick of hearing that a small thing was changed and everyone can feel it instantly and automatically how much better the bike was for everyone than the previous model. It all feels regurgitated and scripted. This feels authentic to me, and I appreciate it.
It's sad that everything has to be controlled by sensors and computers...what ever happened to the raw talent of actually having to tune the bike or cars...get raw horsepower and response!! I'm going to buy this bike as soon as it's available at my local dealer ...I have a prestine cr 500 that I've built over and over again...if this new crf...holds true I'll give my cr500 away free..no money....but I don't think that crf will give me the chills the my 500 does but we will see...
that four gay isn't anywhere as fast as a tuned 500 2T what the fuck are you smoking? You buy a new honda your a puke and part of the shit the EPA has you living your life by...I feel sorry for you if you buy any four joke
The stock exhaust looks like shit but no one cares because FMF 4.1 and its perfect. Im not a kawi guy but this years bike looks great. Hydro clutch FTW
Just bought a 18 , the last one my dealer had. Although I absolutely love the bike I probably should have waited where the release of the 19 was so close. Got a unbeatable deal tho. Overall very very happy. For a mediocre rider I probably wouldn’t feel the difference. At 250 pounds the bike is a hand full.
The ported Honda never carried thru like the stocker which has been hrc equiped, and although the kickstart bike is faster and lighter, you drop it and now cant get it started ruining the whole race time. So stick to electric start Honda.
What a waste Honda try’s to copy ktm and u can prolly buy the regular 2019 and buy the bolt on parts for cheaper than the works edition sells for u know Honda is watching this video going what were we thinking waste of time and money u have to be a fool to buy the works edition
Casey Lee Derk don’t tell Derk his business. He ain’t no fool. Plus he had Honda over and they watched the video and he heard Honda say “what were we thinking”
Casey Lee I agree. As far as suspension being different, graphics, the slip on. I don’t think these are the sell points. Almost everyone I know changes stock valving/ springs in forks and shock, puts on their own graphics, and the first thing done to a bike is a pipe, remapping and some race fuel. The hand ported head is a definite plus.
PatrickMoto97 Exactly! I don't know anyone who's ever had a head ported myself but for a serious rider that is definitely something you'd want. But yeah the motor is the main selling point here
Great review always admired how straight forward Ping is! Seriously thought our man was done for it @10:57
His stache and his elephant balls are BOTH legit 😂
Best impressions review today, props to Ping and his 70s speedway getup outfit, looks cool.
That mustache brought me back to the 70:s
Awesome bikes but honda please bring back the 2stroke.
Pingree looks like a 1920's flat track racer. I dig that :)
I think he was "anxious" to ride them LOL
I see Ping has also upgraded to the Fatbar for 2019, nice! What's the bend on that thing?
Very cool bike.
Dude you give me a good laugh every time I see you with the sunglasses and the pornstar stache! It's awesome, you look like"The Anchorman"😁

These bikes are ugly the factory is ugly asf
52foreman52 your 18 yami or an 18 Honda? I got a 13 wr but want something newer and faster. Been looking into the crfs
Look at your name, I mean, we know you are a fanboy of the Kost To Much bikes, that also break really easy.
Chase Hewett I love Honda’s and have a ktm now .... but man ... they are pretty similar in price brand new... and idk about breaking too easily... mine has been solid
Great review, Ping.
still waiting on the yz250f review
Must have works edition. 😭😭😭😍😍
i like your sunglasses,what are they?
Why does any dirt bike need launch control? That should be rider skill.
Like he said it's useful when you're stuck in a mud. Pay attention next time lol
The better question is why would any rider need that stupid handlebar moustache 🤔
iluvmx1977 it’s like cat whiskers, he can sense wind direction better during double backflips.
Does the Works Edition come with David's mustache?
If theres a shared header, what is the purpose of two mufflers?

Ping was shredding

With a pipe and tune etc it should put a smile on your face definitely won't be as wild as the 500 though but still pretty scary if you're not careful
If u hate the computer shot like me, don't even look at Yamaha lol
that four gay isn't anywhere as fast as a tuned 500 2T what the fuck are you smoking? You buy a new honda your a puke and part of the shit the EPA has you living your life by...I feel sorry for you if you buy any four joke
I'll take your 500 if this bike cuts it for you 🎅🎅🎅🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🤷♀️
David, thanks for the honest opinion.
Is Ping pitching for the “other team” with that stash?:)
No but I bet he is batting cleanup at your mom's house
Seems like you still prefer the kawi
Alex hogg I thought the same thing when I watched
😂
So far the Kawi is looking like a home run. I haven't heard a single complaint about them yet.
The stock exhaust looks like shit but no one cares because FMF 4.1 and its perfect. Im not a kawi guy but this years bike looks great. Hydro clutch FTW
I would rather buy a bike that accepts a kickstarter. Lol
100%
@Matt Kirkland Suzuki
how long until the dialed in on the stock crf450.
That was a badass video!!!!!! That is how I feel about dirt bikes!!!! Fucken ya!!!
Awsum review
A map for each gear holy shit!
The Ol' Johnny Holmes mustache..... lol
Noice boiks mate

Sam Avola nice I got a 2013 kx450f last year and am already thinking about trading in for 2018 ktm 350sxf just so I can learn a little better.
That’s the first time I seen d.ping fall
Ping lost me at shift sensor. That's great for Roczen but for the average joe i think it's a bit too much.
This guy is a Fucking champ.
Is the stock crf450r the loudest bike in 2019? It seems louder than the yoshi exhaust on the works bike lol
I would be willing to bet. The Harder you Push a CR500af. The faster you would go.
Everyone saying honda are copying ktm, go look at the road bikes... theyve been doing higher performance editions of the same bike for a long time.
Good 👍👍
Is it me or did Ping not sound very enthusiastic about these bikes? Just kinda seemed like he wasn’t excited about them
😍😍
Why wouldn't bike manufacturer make two strokes
Ping 86 the mustache, u look like a dude from the village people!
The mustache makes you look like super hunky
Ping can haul ass, and he's starting to look like Brad Lackey ~ :-)
soulful terrain Now you’re talking! Racers from when I was a kid. Carlsbad GP 500 on Wide World of Sports! Good memories.
Honda finally put on a fatbar
The real serious shit goin on here is that dirty stache on Ping
I bet hardly anyone watched the end LOL.
I did! Well I skipped when I read your comment. And immediately busted out😂😂😂
The ported Honda never carried thru like the stocker which has been hrc equiped, and although the kickstart bike is faster and lighter, you drop it and now cant get it started ruining the whole race time. So stick to electric start Honda.
The new bike be good uphill older good downhill
Hey Ed, its fn Honda man, give 'em some water.
# bonedry.
gimme a god dam xr100 and some 94 octane
Nice, now slap a Sumo conversion on it and give it a true rip! ...Braaap!!!
Ingin sekali memilikinya tapi apalah daya tidak sanggup untuk membeli nya😭
Perhaps so tighter pants 😂
Richard Sproat Right 😂

And I wanted to be a truck driver maaaan I'm in the wrong business
Still gets Smoked buy a CR500af..

What a waste Honda try’s to copy ktm and u can prolly buy the regular 2019 and buy the bolt on parts for cheaper than the works edition sells for u know Honda is watching this video going what were we thinking waste of time and money u have to be a fool to buy the works edition
Ok Derk
Good luck buying the hand ported works head on the cheap
Casey Lee Derk don’t tell Derk his business. He ain’t no fool. Plus he had Honda over and they watched the video and he heard Honda say “what were we thinking”

Still using a cable clutch? WTF Honda!
