I know this vid is from over a year ago but it’s really good that someone is saying how good the 450L really is instead of bagging it out like so many others do expecting it to be like the motorcross model
How are you finding it on single track trails and slow mud holes? Do you find the dead weight heavy when you're stopped in a mud hole or something? CRF450RL is about 38lbs heavier than the KTM 500 EXC-F, but the CRF450RL sounds like it is far better for the road from what I've read and heard. My current bike is about 310lbs and I hate when it gets stuck in a mud hole because it is heavy so was looking for something a bit lighter.
@@beefquiche I'm using as a dualsport and exploring new mountain trails is the kind of riding that I love. During the first 300 miles I 'ran in' the engine mostly on pavement, with a few dirt roads, but no trail or track riding. I'm less than 10 miles from the base of the Rockies (near Pikes Peak) and have so many amazing trails to ride. I'm taking it to the eastern slope next month to explore White River National Forest near Glenwood Springs, but think I'll take it up in the truck. I just hate to put on so many highway miles. I love this 450.
@@Aubatron Yeah I could see the extra weight being a big minus for riders that often ride slow, gnarly trails. I haven't had a "real' motocross bike sine my 2008 CRF450R (wish I still had this incredible motorcycle!). The CRF450RL feels about the same weight-wise as my WR250R, and 'feels' lighter than the XR650L and DRZ400S, with quite a bit more power (and its still bone stock).
@@rogerlarson8040 I did some minor things like a bigger sprocket but the only real way to do it is to change the ecu and pipe.

Hi Mike I know and i have owned 2 wr's and went the Honda option cause it has the 6 speed and longevity were as the yamy god love it will rev itself to death lol, I was advised back as far as 2016 the yamaha isn't the bike for me its a motor crosser with a head light 450L isn't the usual motor x bike with a head light. maybe if Honda waited a bit longer they could have captured the market. The wr isn't any cheaper here. The Honda with power up kit was about the same price as the yamy on the road drive away no more to pay I got out of it cheaper as Honda panicked and dropped the price to $9990 yeh i bought the power up kit for extra 2.2k
@@Modelo408 , so the Euro 5 warlords win again? They claim they are not banning ICE's, but they're making the emissions standards impossible, in effect banning ICE's ! But Honda went great lengths with noise and emissions, hence using the heavy Cat and making them compliant in California (meaning all 50 states). I'll bet they are getting rare and expensive across the pond.
I was watching the Adv. spec guy (UK) and he was saying his produced only 25-28HP! I'm still trying to wrap my head around that detune.

Imagine if this guy ride the 450 R🔥
nah bruh KTM 890 adv R. Ride that on a track and road. You will change you mind. 890 adv is the best bike every made. It would score a 10!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣yes I told you boooyyy hell yeah love mine.....I supermoto'd mine love it trails and all! That pretty much the bike you race just 450 and lights little softer suspension....speaking of that watching you throw this heavy ass 450 around makes me wanna see you race 450 this fall
😁😁😁
Do a ktm 500 next
Scam account 👆👆👆
A KTM500EXC-F or a Husqvarna FE501 would be great to see... Especially with real dirt tires....
iv got one and its great, honda will last for ages and it does everything right and is a six speed, honda Australia canned it after 2 years because they weren't happy with the sales figures. im wondering if the idiots hung in there how much of yamaha and kawaki, suzuki sales it would have gotten
Pretty tough competition in Australia where you can buy a plated WR450 sold with a de-restricting kit.
Hi Mike
I know and i have owned 2 wr's and went the Honda option cause it has the 6 speed and longevity
were as the yamy god love it will rev itself to death lol,
I was advised back as far as 2016 the yamaha isn't the bike for me
its a motor crosser with a head light
450L isn't the usual motor x bike with a head light.
maybe if Honda waited a bit longer they could have captured the market.
The wr isn't any cheaper here.
The Honda with power up kit was about the same price as the yamy on the road drive away no more to pay
I got out of it cheaper as Honda panicked and dropped the price to $9990
yeh i bought the power up kit for extra 2.2k
@@sachac5435 With a tank and a seat the Honda is a great dual sport with a dirt focus. Pretty hard to beat.
Yippee!
You think that’s good, try a 500 Ktm Exc or Husky Fe501.
500exc vs 450crl vs drz400 ;) lol
Drz= old school shitbox
@@MRJAYWILSON i know o had one for 10 years. Its ok at everything but great at nothing but would be cool to see what AJ could do.
If you like that, try a KTM 500EXC
Try giving it some throttle next time
Im really sad that Honda ditched Europe with their 450…
Why did that happen?
@@captainamerica9353 emissions
@@Modelo408 , so the Euro 5 warlords win again? They claim they are not banning ICE's, but they're making the emissions standards impossible, in effect banning ICE's ! But Honda went great lengths with noise and emissions, hence using the heavy Cat and making them compliant in California (meaning all 50 states). I'll bet they are getting rare and expensive across the pond.
I was watching the Adv. spec guy (UK) and he was saying his produced only 25-28HP! I'm still trying to wrap my head around that detune. My '19L was about 38-40 stock (US) and I thought that was detuned hard compared to the R. Is that specific countries having hard emission standards or all EU countries?
@@terratrodder I think it's all EU countries. You can get exc bikes here. But they come restricted to ~16hp. It's only a plastic plug in the airbox though
🤟
That was more then one lap
🤫
Looks like a big ol’ girl to me 😂
Sounds doggy
Awesome bike but this video was staged.
??
