i've had my mx450 for a bit now, just chucked the motard wheel's on. And having so much fun but the gearing they supply feels like it revs too high at 100kmh so just keep that in mind.
I am just interested in a follow up on your suspension setting and how you found it after playing around and finding a sweet spot. Also what mass are you? not wanting to be rude. but you know why i am asking. - would it cope with a bloke in the Plus 115 kg mark Plus gear or a suspension upgrade needed as on most bikes. Most bikes seem spring for the smaller rider 75 - 80 KG and a spring and shock upgrade often needed adding big dollars - My Honda added over a grand. for front for springs and new rear shock.
I actually like the suspension on this bike, I weight 80kg so it is in the ballpark of being the right springing for my weight. At 115kg you'll always find bikes being a bit too soft because as you say they are set up for around 80kg.
im in the market for a newish bike, i was looking at a few 2020-21 WR450F for the $8500-$9500 mark and they are fuel injected plus Yamaha are known to be reliable machines then i seen this, the MX450 for like $7950 with 3 month rego and lifetime warranty, im very conflicted but after watching a lot of vids and talking to some owners im now starting to think about a Braaap MX450
@@TheBikeStig They caught up with this fraudster, kept taking orders, company is in liquidation owe over 1 million no pre order customers will get refunded, dam im glad i stayed away
They should make it something easier to understand like KTM with the XCW, XC. SX, SXF, XCF. Maybe they could call it the MXW since it has a headlight. Or maybe the MXFW because it's a 4 stroke with a headlight. Or maybe just call it a dirt bike.@@TheBikeStig
Would love to see your I year ride review? Any problems, etc....
yeah will do mate

thanks for the heads up, just put the motard wheels on myself so am super keen to give it a run
One tooth up on front should drop your revs about 6% and usually you can get away without needing new chain
When u need chain and strokes go a tooth or 2 bigger in front smaller in rear
Nice sounding motor
yeah its pretty good

You forgot the elephant in the room, it's a copy of a CRF450X, and a pretty good one!
not sure thats an elephant mate, the Braaap folk have never held that information back from me

hey mate, I am pretty happy with the one I have, I'm actually riding it more as a Motard these days and having a blast on it.

if Braaap had half a clue they wouldn't put "MX" on a bikes with lights & a rego plate.
Its just a brand model mate, no big deal for me
