  • After our initial video on the all-new 2023 Yamaha YZ450F where Kris Keefer got his first impressions at the GOAT Farm, Keefer is back for a second video on the machine. In this video, Keefer is joined by Steve Matthes, who spins some laps on the all-new bike and provides his feedback on the machine. Having time on the machine on soft and rutted East Coast dirt, Keefer compares that to the familiar hills and bumps of Glen Helen Raceway.
    If you missed the in-depth initial impressions video from Keefer, make sure to check it out.

    I bust out laughing every time somebody comments about the front number plate or fender because it's so infantile like it's a reason to stay clear of the bike lol.

      I'd still ride it and obviously it's a good bike but it is a ugly front end,I also run a bell moto 10 which I think looks ugly in shape,but since I think it's safer I use it.but the moto 9 looks better imo.

    Something about the front number plate looks odd, almost like it’s too short. But it sounds like a bike I’d be more interested in, the existing Yamahas were way too wide and “thumper” feeling for my taste.

    @waynehearst317 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    All of Keefer's complaints are solvable with suspension tuning. What you can't tune for is +500RPMS and a diet of -5lbs....so it's the 2023 for me.

    Nice to hear the comparison to '22 YZ450F. Wish these bikes were available now. Latest shipping update to dealers from Yamaha is late December arrival🙁

    It goes from 2018 to 2022 with a cylinder head change in 2020. Why does everyone seem to say that if you like your 2022, then you will really like 2023. You should be saying.... that if you like the 18 thru 22 and not single out the 22 as some sort of a completely different bike! I have a 2018 with some upgrades to keep with the 4 year run and I am waiting for my 23 but are slow to come. It's now been pushed up to January . Are they even at the dealers yet?

    There's still room on the fork to drop to get more stability....maybe try 3mm on the fork and raise the shock to 97mm and that would work better? I always drop the forks to the top of the fork tube and then adjust the shock.
