You mean more so then the KTM factory editions with the super nice wheels, clamps and graphics, muffler. I used to bleed honda red but now I am OK with many brands but the KTM to me is the nicest looking factory edit bike out their.
@@CalgaryAudits The reason I learn towards the Honda is because of those Kashima coated forks, but if the ktm had them to the ktm would be the winner for sure.
@@JohnSandoval301 But I can get my KTM tubes and shock done for way less then I can upgrade the wheels and tripple clamps on a Honda. But I used to say "I'd rather be dead then not riding red". Now I just bought a new SXF factory edition just because of how sweet it looks and they work well to. Now so many of these brands are great bikes.
@@CalgaryAudits yep dude the ktms come with way more stuff, I think the Honda looks a bit better with the coatings but ktm definitely takes the win performance wise and like you said you can just coat the tubs
This is by far the best "Factory Edition" bike on the market with the engine polish and kashima coating. It's just not stable enough for me at high speeds like a Yami/ Kawi.
Polished intake port? You typically do not polish intake ports. It causes atomized fuel to bead and puddle like rain drops on a windshield. Resulting in poor combustion. You port intake and texture to help further atomize fuel. By basically wicking it off a rough surface. Only polish exhuast. Unless your just talking about air intake. So front end still way to twitchy from factory?
@@cme982 it’s really nice the power delivery is smooth and it’s not always trying to rip your arms off, I used to have a Ktm factory edition and I like the Honda better, the only thing is I had to tinker with the suspension a lot to get it right for me
@@PrestonMx33 great feedback! I had the 2023 KTM FE and sold it for the KX450SR for more compliance. That comment about the smooth power/acceleration makes it VERY appealing to me!
He put over 100hrs on 2 bikes in one year? Thats an insane amount of riding. I’m definitely jealous and wish I lived in California where there are tracks open more than once a month. I gave a 22 gas gas 450 that I have had for a year now and it has 20 hours on it and that was with me doing what I consider a lot of racing in one year lol.
How would this be for a trail bike? I like brutal power and reliability. And I love racing stuff and cool racing upgrades even though I’m not a racer lol 😂
I seem to remember a few years ago when the works first came out they said it had to much power. WTF?! 😢 Didn’t know that was a thing. Kinda thought that was the point of the 450 class. POWER!!!
This directly follows the release of the 2025 rendering this one worthless 🤣 But then I won't want the 2025 because it's the 1st year of a new iteration, then I won't want the 2026 because by then the "ALL NEW, MAJORLY IMPROVED" 2027 will have debuted..............
LOL! You think exactly like me! I never, ever buy a truck or bike in their first year of redesign. I like at least the third year. So, should we buy this ‘24, then?
The most Factory looking bike on the market, Absolutely Beautiful

Honda = Top selling bikes and most reliable cant be wrong!
but there not Yellow; fail!
Uhhh KTM is selling more MX bikes than Honda and Yamaha combined.
@@dg1019dude .... do some research before voicing your assumptions
@@dg1019 Which proves that people buy just about any POS!
@@dg1019 dude, do you know how foolish you sound? Honda sells more than ALL of them combined across the globe.
I have a '23 of this one. It's everything they say it is. Finest bike I have every owned.
I am a little surprised that Honda doesn't have WIFI connectivity to the ECU.
Sick bike! I wish they’d do a WE CRF 250rx
Looks like good stuff... if they put billet works style triple clamps on it they would have a total home run. Beautiful bike. Thanks for the video.
This is by far the best "Factory Edition" bike on the market with the engine polish and kashima coating. It's just not stable enough for me at high speeds like a Yami/ Kawi.
Still wishing the Japanese would make a 250 works edition.
Glad they’re making it now
@mxa how does this stack up agains the 2024.5 KTM 450 Factory Edition? Don't know which one of these two to pull the trigger on.
Great intro!!!!!! Finally, you didn't ask me "What's up?". That's what I tune in to find out from you!
The Lawrence Brothers machine
I wish they would have done this with the CR250's in the 90's

Very nice bike honda CRF 450 josh should be great on track thanks brilliant videos 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲
I’m looking to buy 2 for my son and I ‼️❤️🔥🇺🇸 can’t wait to ride again with my son.
Would love to see one of those in my garage...
I have the 23 in my house lol. I wished too, but made it happen. Good luck
With the Ride Engineering 23.5 triple clamps, do you still run the forks flush? How does that affect cornering?
Looks like he kept them flush in the photos of his thunder valley bike with the ride engineering clamps
What Nick said. Still corners awesome.
sick bike recently just bought a 2023 works edition.
How are you liking it? I’m on the fence on buying it or the new KTM one

@@cme982 yeah the Honda is going to be like the kx but better, the only thing I have done to it is put our sponsors on it and got it tuned
My 23 crf450we is the bees knees. Love it
It s just kashima coated or is an A kit?
He tucked the front lol

Your still out there riding! Gotta appreciate every hour on these machines
They are racing 25's, this is already obsolete. I wanted a 24' but they were never available. Glad I got my YZ450F
Europe yes, US no still racing the 24’
Any news on the changes?
How much are these in gbp
just 1 year to go baby wait for me
How would this be for a trail bike? I like brutal power and reliability. And I love racing stuff and cool racing upgrades even though I’m not a racer lol 😂
Is 14,000 otd a good deal if your buying this bike
No argues about anything except the "twitch"
Did he deadass just say he whined so much that they made the bike slower??? There’s no denying that we live in a simulation now.
I seem to remember a few years ago when the works first came out they said it had to much power.
WTF?! 😢
Didn’t know that was a thing. Kinda thought that was the point of the 450 class. POWER!!!
Frame change 👍

Anything after 3rd gen
That exhaust header pipe sure hangs low... Seems like it would be easy to damage (and it just looks goofy).

WowprettyCool ❤😊
“Which makes you feel like Jett Lawrence on the track” Yeah you wish..
i bet Josh is a hell of a lot closer to Jett speed than you are
Jett is gay anyways, who wants to feel like Jett? Def not me......
He had no influence on me, looks awesome and didn’t want something that Keeps Taking Money “ktm “
How about a better paying amateur contingency program.
Pointless reviews. In my option.
In my “option” this bike isn’t for you. Bet your bike is hot and has a bald rear tire. Go practice on 12 o’clocks
2025 gonna be electric
