17 inch rear,not 18 tube tires,not tubeless...... 😉👍🏻

Hay thanks for sharing your thoughts and ride on the 450 Himi, great review and no BS! Where do you feel the weight? High, low in the middle? Cheers Chris

Rear is 17" 140 80 17 tyre

Great review buddy

And it’s god a good fuel range

After this ride mate you might not like it w hen you get back on your 411 ,jimmy WA

Rode this, and the CF. Ordered the RE🤘🏾

Thanks for posting this- I rode the loop yesterday and it was really good. The Wombeyan Caves Road past the river is supposedly closed but is ok- it was bone dry; may be interesting if it gets wet. The Brayton Road through Swallow Tail Pass is also a an enjoyable section.

Sounds like a great event! Although..... be prepared. Winter in Dorrigo is FREEZING! (snow unlikely, but possible!)

Sounds good. I couldn't make the first one due to work commitments. I hope I can make the next one.

Looking forward to the next event, I couldn't make the first.

Had great time this year Just a my grip was the catering Meal size For the price we paid Was not worth it And to be told by the Chief to move on. Saying that our group were not the only ones in saying that about the Catering But everything else was great Looking forward to next year 👍

Great video mate, keep them coming 👍

Bloody good ride Kurt, looking forward in doing this soon. Those views are absolutely stunning! Those blind corners gave me PTSD!!!

Mate I’d love to tag along in your rides I have a T7 and live in Sydney’s inner west

Thanks, and I have subscribed. 1000 subs is close by for you.

Great video mate very well explained thanks for the gpx file . I'm in Sydney as well if your looking for a day ride sometime drop me a message always keen to ride cheers

I always carry a spare key, but I only carry full cans😂

Thanks for putting the file up mate 👌🍻

A ride the Illawarra and highlands crew have ridden 100s of times. We call it Wombeyan/Swallows tail pass ride. What happened to the Tarlo River crossing footage?

I was you’re first comment

Hi

I live in the area as a young bloke many years ago. I definitely have to do this ride sometime... Thanks for the video, the scenery and the GPX mate.

Fantastic. Interesting that the roads were dry and on the video, they seemed not to bad but then you found them somewhat slippery in parts. Thank you for the GPX.

Great review, most of the other reviews focused on the pavement performance or on the harder off-road sections of tracks. You did a great job showing how the everyday back road riding would be on the cfmoto. Probably going to buy this in the spring here in the states. Was considering a used crf 300 rally which I really like but I’m a little aggressive for it in stock form. The amount of money I would spend to get the rally up to standard would easily buy the 450 mt/ibex and have a little left over.

Do all but the duct tape on the helmet but have a small bit of chopping board for the stand. Can't believe how many only go with one key🤔👍

Great hacks! Thanks. With the can, I attached a piece of cord to mine. With it, I can lower the can to the ground and position it under the stand before I get off. I then wrap the cord around the bars. When I'm taking off, I can do the reverse, simply grab the cord and pull the can out from under the stand.

looks like a good machine

Nice one, good to see an example of what can go wrong, even with the experience. Follow up question about getting to know your bike. How are some good ways to do that on the dirt? On road there are plenty of riding drills, u turns, emergency stops, etc. What are some good drills to help get to know your bike off road? Aside from just more seat time in general.

Really appreciate the tips. New to adv riding and everyone says don't ever go solo. Although there is extra risk, the idea of exploring the bush by myself is what attracted me to it all. Tips like these will help me stay out of the worst of it Be awesome to hear any other tips you for new riders, most videos I find seem to be from the yanks or the british. Australia is a different beast, so always good to hear from those who have been in the belly of it.

It's dos and don'ts, not do's and dont's.

Definitely some great tips! I've had many gopro mounts break....

Great video as always love your work I ride a ktm690 and my biggest fear is getting a flat I have fitted. HD tubes and always run good tyres I do take levers and tubes but TBH I wouldn’t have a clue how to fix a puncture with a tube, my other bike is a Triumph Tiger is tubeless and I just put a plug in easy, and I ride the Tiger more often on my own for that reason, I am seriously considering doing a tubliss conversion on the KTM690 or am I just stressing over doing.

Great tips.

That was close Kurt!! It can happen to anyone for sure! How's that GoPro mount!! Never seen a breakage like that before at all!!

GPS downloads

👍

What would happen if you wired a toggle switch into the fuse block for the ABS and just turned it off then you can turn it back on when you want it

Would you be able to share the GPX file of your route..looks great

👍

Good one Kurt! Cool to see some more footage as I left a tad early. Bring on next year - gunna be through the roof mate 😎👍

I was spewing that I only found out about it a week beforehand and was already booked in for a trip from home on the Southcoast to Yamba and the Gold coast that week. Drove home early Sunday and saw all the ADV bikes heading out on the highway.

Looked like a lot of fun, well done

Awesome video mate, can not wait for next years event!! It'll be bloody awesome!

Thank you!

They are tubed tyres on that model. Just saying

Does anyone know if this 450mt engine is totally new or used in some other bikes?? References for reliability?

USB and USC xD

Looked easy enough in that situation..I like these alot but the weight is a concern as I now struggle to pick up my CRF250 Rally in some situations..age related issues😂

Nice looking ride, just watched MCA's video on the event..looked good 👍
