I grew up on 2 strokes in the 90's before 4 strokes were anything good. I still feel that mixing gas is easier than dealing with cam chains. Electric start doesn't make up for the extra weight. A vintage CR500 still destroys most modern 450's. Clearly, if money is no object then we would all be riding race-prepped 2024 bikes.
Thank you! Finally someone who explains and proves that a 2 stroke is NOT unreliable! I love 2 stroke and have only ever owned them. I daily my KTM 125 and GasGas 250 with literally zero issues - everyone seems to think 2 strokes will blow up all the time and always seem to require a top end rebuild - Jeez its metal its not that fragile
Hey Paul I've been subscribed for a while and would really appreciate your advice. What do you think of the KTM 350exc-f as a supermoto? I want something that i can trial ride which the 350 is good for because its light but also want a supermoto so the 350 would be better than a 250. Would it be underpowerd for the street? Have you ridden one?
Hey Paul, why did you choose the 450 over a 500exc? I have a 07 525 exc with a factory racing 540 big bore (61hp) and a motostar supermoto setup! I enjoy your content, keep it up!
Great vid,,,,,,, Im running a 450EXC. You mention 65mph cruise with a 48 rear, I assume a 14 front, what is the top end with a 48,,,, think Id like that,,,,,, Keep the great content coming,,,,,,,,,👍
I have 2018 450EXC Vortex, FMF, uncorked,, 14-50 gears were awesome, 17 Warp9"s was a huge change, 50 and 48 I couldnt live with around town definitely for stunting only, 45 is fast and fun, on one wheel sucks, 47 just ok, 6th gear comes on fast tops out 70ish but its screaming, settled on a 46 which is ok but you will never get back the perfect feel of 14-50 on the stock wheel set running sumo"s......
What bike wa the 4 stroke again? I’m looking to get a bike as a beginner but I’m not sure what to get, I’m not looking for anything to pricey so probaly 4K and below?
Practicality wise a 4-stroke on the street a two-stroke is fun don't get me wrong but in heavy traffic yeah you don't want to stroke sitting there revving up the motor every 2 seconds while you're sitting there parked
im 17 and looking for my first super moto any recommendations ive ridden my brothers wr250 Supermoto and I've ridden quads and dirt bikes my whole life so ik how to ride clutch pretty good and ik the feel of a dirt bike i'm not a complete noob
Bro wondered where videos have been. So I’m wanting my first supermoto but not sure best bike to buy. People here keep saying DRZ. I’ve been riding street bikes and have a grom too. Should I convert a dirt bike or buy a supermoto
Why KTM over other brands? I have really been wanting this 50TH Anniversary edition YZ450 at my work, but we also sell lots of KTM and my co workers all ride KTM. I have always liked the YZ and think it would make a sweet supermoto, so for what reasons may someone choose KTM instead?
i have tried my friends yamaha yz 125 (i have ktm 125 sx) and in my opinion ktm just feels better even when they are both motocross bikes. I feel like yamaha is more dedicated to motocross and does only motocross while u can ride ktm pretty much anywhere, street, motocross and enduro and is at least in my opinion best in everything.
You tube is killin the wheelie vibes 😂
Fr they not about it ima make a funny vid on that soon

Hahah

cool vid, your front brake line on the 450 should go to the inside of the fork leg,
Not on super motos tire can rub it
How long does it take to charge the 2 stroke vs the 4 stroke???! Asking for a friend
They have so many volts they don’t need to charge
2 Stroke is the best supermoto...i am in love with my YZ250 and my YZ250F is for Enduro
That wheelie pro shops shirt goes hard. Would be even better if the shirt you were wearing on that shirt was your we outside shirt.
U haul dirtbike is funny as hell actually 🤣
Four strokes dont have power bands they have power flows
great vid love the content, keep it coming Paul,,,,,,👍
Thanks bro
Let’s just no talk about the single fork guard on the 300 is that stock😂
I need to put in the other
Love the vids bro ❤
Glad to hear it!!
My daughter got me following you, and your videos are amazing, roll onto the million subs 🙌
Hell ya!!
4 stroke gang, can’t go wrong with the smoker tho!

I was for sale when I was looking for a bike and I like the fast reving of a 450
How about tire pressure and has it evolved with your wheelie game?
69 psi 👌
Dang son. I have a 2018 xcw 300 (no tpi life for me) and a 2012 xcwf 450. Living that Ktm life. We outsideee!

hey man love your videos I watch them like a series so entertaining, I was just wondering what brand/rear stunt brake do you use?

@ktm give this mans an oil injected 300 already damn
Fr
Brrrrrrrrr, just like that 😅🤘🤘
mornin im poopin rn
Taco Thursday
Both have there place, best of both worlds having one of each. I need a 300tpi to go with my 450
Hell ya I wish I had a tpi
Just cbf mixing gas, or even straight up forget and fry the motor 😆

What wheel size and tire size on 450?
17 in with a 150
@@paulsohard so you are running a 4.25 wide rear or a 5?
Love it sick picked up a 450smr and a wr250x beater
Hell ya bring that sumo out!!
couldnt u just change the oil every 10 hours on that 4 stroke as long as u use good oil?
Probably I just do it a lot I ride it hard
@@paulsohard In ur case u should just put a bit more oil because u wheelie so much
@@paulsohard compared to how it would be used in comp as an mx absolutely not, which is what the intervals are based on
Two strokes are race bikes not practical for Street use
Go to mad house
What’s that?
But of course you always got them goofballs all I ride a two-stroke and f****** traffic every day of my life
