    Just picked up this bike and it's so fun to ride. Dare I say I got it for under 10K out the door. I'm older now but have always been a Kawi fan after having a 99/2005/2007 KX this one reminds me of the seriously fast engine on the 1999 but also has a suspension level that I haven't seen anywhere. Love it!

      Why would anyone buy a 450 bike with the intentions of keeping the stock exhaust on it anyway? I wouldn't care if the stock muffler looked like a can of tuna because I would have a complete aftermarket exhaust system put on it before it ever touched the dirt to begin with.

      Why would anyone even own a 450 bike with a stock exhaust anyway? I would be embarrassed to take any 450 bike in general outside of my garage with the stock exhaust still on it. It's a KX 450 not a TTR 125.

    • @dr187mx
      @dr187mx 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jon Benoit I hate the stock exhaust on my 15 yz450f but it’s a lot more free flowing on the 18 yz450f, I can tolerate it on that bike.

    • @thrasher2094
      @thrasher2094 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Jon Benoit With the brand new bike costing around 10gs, I'd have no problem at all riding if anywhere with the stock exhaust. I don't make enough money to just but a 1000 dollar exhaust for a bike that already cost me 10gs

      andreas stefanou not like he'll hafta deal with it, factory kawasaki can easily fabricate him a cable actuated clutch.

  • @thediab0lus575
    @thediab0lus575 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Everyone says the muffler is too big, too ugly, sounds like shit, etc. but why would anyone keep a stock exhaust on any 450 bike in general? Do you you even ride? The stock exhaust would be the first thing I would remove lol.... if you seriously plan on buying a 2019 KX450 with the intention of keeping the stock exhaust system on it then you probably don't have any business owning or riding one to begin with.

    • @TheOliveBoyzz
      @TheOliveBoyzz 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Jon Benoit exust is the last thing I worry about I spend my money on the suspension getting suspension done the way u like it means way more than having exust done. A stock 450 u won't use all that power anyways unless ur a really good A rider

    • @mikec124
      @mikec124 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Definitely would change suspension first no reason to spend over 600 for an exhaust system when it doesn’t give much more power for the bike. It’s only based on weight and looks which isn’t a big deal to a lot of people. Plus like said below most 450 owners won’t even use all the power of the bike anyway.

    • @4touchdowns1game29
      @4touchdowns1game29 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      people that dont actually race are the ones that spend their money on exhaust systems. suspension is the difference between winning and losing not power.

Silencer too big and ugly (always 1st thing replaced so I dont get the point of criticizing something thats getting tossed immediately). 2. Bike/Graphics are Ugly (looks nice to my eyes!). 3. Only took Kawi 20 yrs to add Hydraulic clutch and Elec Start (some people are never happy). 4. Still not as good as KTM (Fanboys who 99% of do not even ride).

      I can put 100 hours on a 450 before it needs a top end rebuild. My old KX125 had about 4 top ends and a bottom end by then.
      Get over it. It's the way the sport has headed; these bikes are so much faster and better than they were 10 years ago. New 2 strokes aren't even that much cheaper than the fours anyway, so I don't know why you are saying all this.
      If you wanna dirt hack go buy an old TTR or KLX 250. If you want the best, then you have to buy what the market demands...

    Looks like shit. Looks like 2 bikes mixed. Side plates like ktms, shrouds look like older kx 125/250s, fromt fender still looks dated, same with front plate. Exhaust looks stupid long and if you were to loop it for whatever reason...bye bye exhaust. Most people will swap out the slip on. Hopefully FMF or Pro Circuit can make it tuck nicely behind the plate with the end cap showing. Would still buy a KTM/Husky or a YZF.
