2016 Kx450F. Can't wait to tear this thing Down, grease it all tomorrow and put it back together. I'm STOKED. This is my 4th new Kaw I've bought since 08 so I'm pretty used to them. Hopefully it's as good as what everyone is saying.

As long as you spoke with your wallet that's all that really matters

I like the timing - new baby and a new bike. I wonder how long before the new bike has to go.

I bought a new 450 just a couple months after becoming a dad. Three years later I still have the bike and it has 112 hours of ride time (weak, I know). I've since added another child. Let's just say my riding has went way on the back burner.

Haha same with me. Had a baby February 2013, bought my 14 yz450f that July but it only has 15 hours maybe 20 max on it. Was hurt for a year and a half. Now I'm back riding with baby number two due in April. I have a feeling the bike will be sitting again real soon lol

I'm pretty lucky really. Mommy rides too. So she didn't have a problem with it. Baby turns 1 next week. The time has flown. I put 38 hours on my bike last year. Not a ton but not a little either. Baby loves the races. As the bikes go by she starts yelling for joy and throws her hands up. Just bought a house too. At least the bikes paid for. Haha

Finally got a chance to uncrate it today and put it together. Man I'm excited to ride this thing. It feels as light as my 13' Kx250F I recently sold when I put it on the stand. I made a list over the weekend for it and hope to have a pile of goodies coming in over the next few weeks.

My buddy just bought one a few months ago. Rode it and immediately fell in love. Handles like a 250f. Congrats on the bike and the baby and the cool mommy! haha

Thanks man! I appreciate it, definitely consider myself lucky. And yeah I can believe it. I can't wait to ride it, just waiting on some good weather here in Ohio. Like I said in update post, it's so light putting it on the stand and ultra skinny between the shrouds. Out of all the new bikes I've purchased, I'm definitely most excited about this one.
