I am very happy with my YZ450, the ability to change maps is awesome. If you don't like the power delivery, no problem, change it. I found it interesting that they didn't mention that easily changed mapping more than once or twice, you can easily get more bottom end grunt if you want it. I also appreciate my engine's longevity, the KX's are sweet but I wouldn't trade it for my YZ's reliability while racing GP's and desert. Also being a taller guy I appreciate the physical size of the YZ, big and tall can be a good thing.
For years I waa always on the YZ.......but the more I ride green the better I like it. Maybe I'm changing more than the bikes are......I dunno what I'm gonna be when I grow up; I'm only 73.
I did the same.... My opinion, I would just stay with the 250. The 450 is a lot of power and hard to ride. I have more fun on the 250. But that’s just me
Best thing mxa did was hire this guy to do the comparisons and shootouts.....Gota love the honesty👍 Details were well covered in all areas, chassis, handling, power, suspension, weight, Ergos... The pros and cons were a nice touch too! See swap, this is how it's done.
An aftermarket seat does a lot for the YZ450F have a look at the CD-R Yamaha bikes in Australia it’s the first mod they do and they look so much more comfy
I really enjoy all the shootouts but always look to you guys for the most accurate and definitive bike comparison for real world riding and racing. I've watched this shootout twice now and replayed various parts more times than that. Could you elaborate on the final comment(s) you make where you state - overall the MXA wrecking crew would rather ride the KX 450 but when lining up for a race we'd choose the YZF 450....- Are you saying (in stock forms) the the KX (in your test opinion) is best for fun riding vs the Yamaha is best for a serious racer ? Just want to be sure I understand this final point. Thanks for all your hard work that leads to excellent content for us fans/viewers. I always look forward to everything you guys produce.
I understood those statements to mean that the Kawasaki is more pleasurable to ride (choice for overall riding) but the Yamaha is faster (choice for racing).
I love this type of video i hope you’ll do it every year for this 2 bikes because every Yamaha rider is low key a kawasaki rider both bikes have the same fan base Thanks again ! I also love watching MXA shoot out videos in 4K keep em coming
I went from a kx250f to a yz450. I don't squeeze the bike with my legs much so I felt the widge of the YZ helped me and I could corner so much better on the YZ
I dont get why people hate on the YZ’s air filter design. I think it’s brilliant. It keeps it in the front part of the bike, high on the frame to get the cleanest air possible. With my YZ I have to clean the filter way less often than the traditional design because the traditional design is right near the rear tire, which kicks up a lot of dust and dirt!
I lost 30 pounds because of low carb diet I needed to go on. I like everything they said about the KX. And the KX finally switched from 4 to 5 gears. I got to make the switch from 2T TO 4T. Tomac won three championships in a row I on that bike.
Blue all day!all that power curve can easily be adjusted with your phone.not only that,the quality of yamaha is better in my opinion in every way.It will last longer ust look at bikes blowing up on UA-cam and they are mostly green and red it seems.
Mark Magness the Yamaha is better period. The motor is better valves last way longer than any bike. And these idiots saying it’s way heavier need to look it up. It’s about 3 lbs wet weight difference. My friends rode my Yamaha and love it and said it turns and does everything they want it to. My last bike was a Kawasaki.
Mark Magness ya with that tuning app in Yamaha’s engineering you don’t have to buy any upgrades for the motor at all. My friends 2019 Kawasaki he did aftermarket exhaust and some tuning chip and still couldn’t pull my Yamaha. Then he tore the top end apart to put a high compression piston in it which cost money and on top of that he has to run expensive fuel.! Just to try to have the power mine does stock. And mine is 2016 lol.. I just rode a 2020 Yamaha 250f and that thing is amazing. I also know several factory team riders that are now with Honda that left star Yamaha and said the Yamaha is ridiculously better than when they finally rode the Honda teams bike. They said there definitely is a difference.
I know everyone can't, but the only way to know is to ride one and how it fits you. I bought a yz off reviews getting back in the sport, after riding a friend's kx I sold it and bought the kawasaki, kx felt way better and inspired confidence
I have a 2022 yz450f love the power insane amounts of throttle respone on the aggressive engine tuning setting breath on it wrong and it wants tongo over backwards ahaha but! I do no feel comfortable on it yet ive only rode it a couple days so far but my 2009 kx450 felt right at home right away i might have to look into a newer kawi and im also 6'2
The Yamaha reverse engine is awesome and the power tuner allows for mapping to provide better low end like the Kawi. But I agree that the Yamaha airbox "in your face" is seriously noisy. They need to do something about this.
Excellent shootout! You hit every single point that I would have wanted to hear about. I have owned and raised both the Yamahas and the Kawasakis over the years and you're exactly right about Yamaha being the more bulletproof of the two bikes! one thing that cannot be overlooked however, is the flickability of the Kawasaki because of how skinny it feels compared to the Yamaha period it cannot be overstated, that a wide bike simply does not feel flickable, and throwing whips on the Kawasaki is almost second nature 👍!
Baba I feel they were both about the same for a tall rider. I am 6' tall and had no problem with either bike. I feel bar height has a lot to do with comfort too.
I just finished riding my 2019 Yz450f with my buddy on his 2016 kx450f and we compared both bikes on the road being topped out and the yamaha is the one that pulls away on top end on low end they both put a great fight almost side to side but on top end the Yamaha over takes
I'm a Yamaha guy but since going backwards motor they have lost my heart for them . Still prefer 09 yz450f ,light small nimble . Just picked up a kawi see how they go . Let's hope Yamaha redesigns ergos and drops 5-6 pounds at least.
mx118racer actually it’s not even 4lbs difference. The 16 Yamaha on up are better than your old one. I have had no problems with turning or anything. My friend has a newer Kawasaki and he rode mine and loves how the Yamaha turns also he said the motor is stronger than his. Also we were riding in the mud one day and I could under cut him in turns and handled better in the mud as well.
@@mxr7586 Its prob not the weight . It's where the extra weight is and the fact the ergos dont help . I've owned 2010,2011 ,2014 ,2018 yz450f ( and 2017 ,2019 ktm 450sxf ) spend half a race season on em drag put the old 09 and post quicker lap times instantly . Our mx tracks are gnarly rough southwick/ ww ranch ( with poor prep schedules) . That's where the handling of the bike shines.
mx118racer it’s weird the Yamaha 250f is almost the same and those are the bikes to beat. Even the 2 pro riders that raced them for star Yamaha went to Geico Honda and was saying the Yamaha has more power and handles really good and all around amazing bike. So I don’t think it’s how the motor is.
Shawn Theo probably around 50 hours or so. My hour meter isn’t currently working :). I think the rear brake thing is way overblown. I have no problems with it. I’ve ridden a 19 yz 450 too. Great bike. Great motor and suspension. Feels heavier and less nimble than the kx. The kx has a very light nimble feeling and the motor character is part of that. Love the smooth easy to ride motor. A lot of harping on the soft fork too. For some people I think it’s perfect. But, if you are heavier and or faster it will need stiffer springs and maybe a bit higher oil level.
They aint joking bout the crappy plastic on the KX. My number plate ripped into 3 pieces in my truck, before I even rode the bike for the first time. And lots of people are saying how the roller and chain slider are total shit.
I can't wait to hear or read what you say between these two bikes. When you compare all the brands. Just to see how much you contradict your words in this video.
Sorry but the Yamaha has more power everywhere when you ride them the dyno isn’t pushing air into the motor like when you ride. My friends last year model Kawasaki is still under power compared to my Yamaha and he has put aftermarket exhaust and some other things. Then tore it down to do motor work on it. Put a High compression piston after only 19 hours the cylinder had piston slap marks. Also I’ve had both bikes and you guys saying the Yamaha feels heavy your crazy and it also turns on a dime . The motors on the Yamaha last way longer than any bike period. The valves last also longer than other bikes too. My sons bike has a 150hrs and valves were still in spec and have never been shimmed. I have also worked on other with over a 100hrs. The Honda I had lucky if it got to 50hrs. 242.9 Kawasaki and 245lbs Yamaha so really not much difference. Also ppl that have rode my Yamaha didn’t say the crazy crap you guys said. They love how great it turns in ruts or even on flat. And it’s amazing it the mud. I’ve had all the bikes and you guys seem pretty one sided. Also measure the radiators across there isn’t much difference in width between the bikes. I did that when I had my Kawasaki and Yamaha. I chose Yamaha cause it dose everything really good and you don’t need aftermarket exhaust. The motor is really strong and you can tune it to an arm jerking machine or mellow it out and it last a long time.
Let them know! But KTM / Husky is way more durable then any bike on the market. My friend has a KTM 250 and has 300 + hours on it with only 1 top end change ever. Still going strong. Very hard to beat the Aussie bikes.
iron monkey that’s funny cause I rode one and it was horrible. Plus the guy I just met and rode with last week we did some laps together and came back to rest a bit. Then when he went to start his KTM 2019 it didn’t sound good at all! Real bad tick sound. And he barely has any hours on it. He shut it off waited awhile then tried again and it seem to go away. Next day he decided to go race the thing and it shut off. They don’t last long when ridden hard and way to expensive to rebuild compared to any other bike.
YAMI_BROTHAS ya it seems they contradict themselves. The Yamaha is only about 3 lbs heavier which isn’t much difference. Also how wide it is not much difference there either. Another shootout everyone talked highly about the Yamaha how it does everything. Most all of them picked the Yamaha but swap said he pick the Kawasaki cause his brother rode one but yet liked the Yamaha. This shootout they act like it don’t turn too heavy bs. Cause my friends say mine turns on a dime and they live it. Like the guy said they rather race the Yamaha! That means they feel they can win on it better than the Kawasaki.
@@youngman7655 The 'this is the bike I normally ride so its the bike I choose ' shootout. Thats not a proper shootout. Swap moto always has the least relevant shootout. KTM IS #1

I certainly don't find the YZ too wide, but maybe because I am a taller rider and find the narrow bikes harder to squeeze. Love the YZ and the KX.

Enjoyed the format Josh.. Always appreciate your insight... ✌ Old G
So moral of the story...but what’s cheaper ...they’re the same bike for anyone who isn’t a pro
Wet Weights are listed on MFC Websites as KX at 242.9lbs and YZ at 245lbs. Much closer in weight than the video says they are.
Usually full of shit this mob , so they can not get the weight correct ? Complicated thing for them to do , supply facts.
Dude that intro song was cool.
I went from a kx250f to a yz450. I don't squeeze the bike with my legs much so I felt the widge of the YZ helped me and I could corner so much better on the YZ

Well put! I love shootouts. You guys should do truck shootouts. Best track/moto truck.
Ford and Chevy need to bring back the El Camino and Ranchero, that would be a good shootout
Great comparison. I appreciated the effort to break it down pro and con along with we'd ride this one but race that one.
Great shoot out. Go Green!
YZ450F is the best
130lb rider here, I was leaning Yami for awhile, but after hearing the Kawi is better suited if you’re lighter, maybe it’s time I switch to green 🤔

The reverse engine is awesome and also very reliable and the lightweight titanium valves help it to rev easily and reduce wear.
