We test the 2021 Kawasaki KX450!

The Kawasaki KX450 received a total overhaul last year and the 2020 bike enjoyed a ton of accolades from our test riders, as well as from other media outlets and consumers, too. In the very capable hands of Eli Tomac, the KX450 earned the Monster Energy Supercross Championship, and there's little doubt that the big green machine is one potent race weapon, right off the dealership showroom floor. They say if something isn't broke don't fix it, and that's exactly what Kawasaki did for 2021. Kawasaki made three important changes to the bike, and the result is a machine that is - in our opinion - without a weakness.

TBH, I only watch these to see how my favorite brand is looking against the competition. I’m kawasaki for life.

[@Onedayilbeok]

I thought I was the only one that did that for Kawi lol.

Wow, I’m very impressed with this young guys riding skills and his ability to do a very detail oriented review. Pats my favorite reviewer but this kid is following right in his footsteps

I rode a 2020 KXF450 the other day, couldn't believe how small and light it felt. It honestly felt smaller than my 2017 kxf250. Really smooth power, not intimidating at all. Last 450 I had was a 2009 and it hit like a train, lofting the front wheel everywhere and too much for me. Put me off 450's but got my eye on one again now!

[@oldg7847]

Enjoyed both opinions guys. Great job.

[@powerstroketurbo95]
