After years of riding KTM I bought one of these and Kris absolutely nailed every plus/minus point..great bike all round very easy to ride, change the Bars and then grips to ODI lock on.The chain is garbage, change it immediately but everything else seems pretty bulletproof.
Keefer, what's the steak place in Vegas that Matthes talks about? Seems like it's some non-descript joint, kinda under the radar... I gotta find out & my missus and I are headed that way and I told her we gotta go there, but I forgot the name dang it. Please help and thanks! 👍
Been on a 23 390 Race Edition for a year. Was hoping the moto bike would be less “jenky”. Sounds like not so much. I get the tall feel and the pitching off throttle on the off road bike too.
I have 2 hours on my 450rx and i bought xtrig rubber bar mounts cause i was like this thing vibrates horribly! Lost a nut off bottom motor mount and it backed out 🤦♂️
on the throttle can you tighten up the nuts? they look like they were hanging too close to the cable ends, maybe why they were loose and swinging back and forth?
@@Keeferinctesting ......makes no sense why they would do that......im going to check the bike out at the dealership like i did about the wide and flat tank comment

In italy we done a 450 shotout, and we like this bike a lot. Easy motor with our small tracks ad good suspension base
Thanks for the test, shared. I hope you keep testing and improving, there’s a need for a good knowledge base.
Good stuff dude. Cool to hear about these bikes and how they do.

Could you please look at trying the rx 300 😊
Yes!

You should try some jbi drop in dyi suspension kits for us.
If I was looking for a new 450 this year, Beta or Kawasaki would be my choice.
I bet the vibration is from the motor mount bolts coming loose. happens on all the Beta's lol.

I’ve bought 5 betas in the last 4 years. They all did that haha.

They were tight but just loose in the housing.
@@Keeferinctesting ......what are you doing being up so early?

Gotta get a microphone dude! I’m excited to hear from you but can’t hear you cause of the background noise
Damn. Thought it wasn’t that bad. Noted.
Unique bike they seem like a ripper.
Are you a beta master tho?
Wonder what those clear tanks will look like in 10 years when I’m buying a used one with 40 hours on it for half price 😅😂
Look at 10 year old ktms... No issues
@@DaleEarnhardtsSeatbelt they become ugly and yellow’d lol
Not a fan of the top of the gas tank and radiator shroud area.......its wide and flat
lol......i wrote that then you mentioned it
Blue tank 🤔
wouldnt a 13/49 make it better instead of adding a tooth?
