2018 bikes look the same as last years with minor improvements, LONG LIVE 2019 maybe even 2020 with the way these manufactures are going!

Depends on your brand. 2017 was definitely the year to buy a crf450.

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that the 2018 KTM FE bikes are suppose to be all new as well.

Honda's are crap they have handling issues and throw you off the bike just look at all the professional riders crashing on them.

There will be three new 450Fs for the 18 model year, two for 19...one is the white version of an 18 bike.

Yep, 2019 or never. I heard MX bikes will go the way of three-wheelers by 2020, so better stock up on them in 2019!

I thought the 18 KTM had minimal changes other than visual, I guess there is more info to come.

My guess is the '18 KTM FE will be a preview of the '19? Does that win me a Vital T-shirt?

@ML512: Anything about a new YZ250F or is it just the 450 that gets the update?

Probably not far from the truth the way things seem to be going...Not a lot of people buying new mx bikes where I live...

Bro the Yamaha is new this year, the Honda was new last year, the CRF250 is the most changed bike I've seen in a decade-maybe ever in my life (talking one generation to the next)...new this year, the Suzuki is brand new this year...what more you you need?
