If the biggest problem is that the bike accelerates so hard it's lifting the front tire, that is not a bad problem to have.

[@stevencunningham4680]

The bike is so bad ass , I love the way the plastic just flows. It looks very rider friendly. Can't wait for the 450 shoot out.

[@jarrettjones4690]

The front number plate looks like a pw50 💀

[@2216sammy]

Contact Yamaha headquarters directly and let them know , it's the right thing to do.

[@MiddlePark]

What was Yamaha thinking with the front fender? The sharp bodywork was cool.

[@danieldossantos5299]

Having the same thinking's, its looking like big a PW80 😆

[@gabrielkopp2036]

I would like to a comparison between the yz450f and the yz450fx

[@jetdr]

I am waiting for the 2024 450fx, it should have these changes. Then it will be a KTM killer.

[@befree322]

It's still to heavey

[@catalickconverta6823]

Get a 2 stroke then

[@snowrider4495]

Is any 450 light?

[@Tyler.56]

Have you rode it? You can’t say it’s still too heavy unless u rode it because it doesn’t matter what the “scale” says it will feel different on track. If they dropped 5 pounds i bet this thing feels super light and nimble

[@herbcanter2114]

@@Tyler.56 Of course he never rode it lol. Everybody so far who has tested it says the bike feels 25 pounds lighter but apparently "Be Free" has more knowledge .

[@MiddlePark]

I went from lightweight tpi 150i to a heavier yz250fx. A few extra pounds is not always a bad thing, even on single track. There is always a trade off, generally quality costs a few pounds.

Having the wheel off the ground is why you buy a 450!!!! I truly don't understand why so many of the test riders these days b*tch, whinge and whine about 450s needing a mallow, linear power band. . . . Um, no, if you are that afraid, buy a 250!! I purchased a 450 because I wanted that "rip your arms out of the socket" power!! And that's also why a purchased the Yamaha because it was an absolute beast of a power band. These test riders need to harden up

[@DirtBikeTest]

Spoken like a true American. But some of us want a faster lap time too. That is what makes the Yamaha so good...Power Tuner App to the rescue!
