In my opinion for what it’s worth. The two best looking bikes for 2023 are the Monster Energy Yamahas and the 50 Year Anniversary CRF450R. I like the Honda the best. Best looking bike that’s hit the showroom on quite a few years. I normally don’t like blue but the blue seat on the Honda is sharp. I plan to put a blue seat on my 23 250R.
I’d swap out the YZ for the KX450-SR. Honda looks great though.
Yeah the green SR bike sooks good too. Maybe the best looking green bike ever. I’ve never been a Kawasaki fan but ain’t no flys on the last few years from what I read.
The YZ's got too busy with the new camo pattern thrown in....
Love the Red/Blue Honda....
But for me....the best lookin bikes are still the Suzukis. Just need gold wheels.
Nothing looks better than yellow on an MX bike.
The black plastics on the Yamaha don’t do it for me. All blue, like the amateur bikes, look much better, IMO.
The Honda looks good, as does the Kawasaki SR model.
I’m kinda partial to the KTM FE bikes myself, but they are all good looking bikes. Even the Beta is pretty bitchen

Can’t say I like the look of the Yamaha with the big Monster claw
but the Honda looks fucking great
I don't like any bike that's plastered with a monster claw or other logos. That Honda looks fucken sweet though
Never laid eyes on a beta other than a website. Heck, about all I see at the track were I go during the middle of the week are KTM’s. I see so many KTM’s you’d think they give them away!
Non monster Yamaha looks 10X better
This TM would have looked better even if it was Donny Osman purple!!, from the 70’s.
Those Yamahas just look menacing. Honestly might just because of that big #3 on the front though.
I know it’s a pretty unpopular opinion but I like the front fender and number plate on the new YZ450.
Yamaha would be better blue, or yellow, or even white/red! I agree that the 50th anniversary CRF's are the best looking stock bikes in a long time!
My last Kawi was '14 KX450, and the '23 KX doesnt look much different.
The 50th Anniversary CR and the Husky FC350 Heritage are the two best looking MX bikes of 2023.
Ironically, I think the regular Huskys are some of the ugliest bikes out there.
My biggest gripe with Yamaha looks wise is the blue wheels because you’re so limited in plastics and graphics options. Id like to mount yellow plastics and graphics on the bike but I won’t spend the money on rims to make it look right.
Agreed on the regular Huskies.... someone should lose a job for that awful grey/piss yellow scheme.
That red Beta is sharp, never seen that model, guess I live a sheltered life LOL. Evidently red and black is a good color combination, people seem to like it. Beta dealers are across town from me and across Houston Texas is a long ways. Boat salesman told me a few years back a red and black bass boat will sell quicker than other colors.
I like the blue and black on the Yamaha Monster Energy bikes, but would like to see Yamaha change it up. I’d like to see throw back yellow and black like two stroke picks that were floating around a while back or the red and white.
Pit Row
Beta did a great job with styling. They don’t look like any other bike, I like the look.
I currently own the both best looking in my opinion. Lol.. I do love Hondas looks but I feel like the yam got closer with this 23 version.
They all look pretty sweet these days. Only thing that stands out as weird is husky side number plates.
What model Beta is that?
Probably the best one I have seen.
The betas look even more better in person really really sharp looking bike in person.
I have a brand new set of claw plastics never been used !
I have never liked the feel or look of the Husky's, but im a sucker for their Heritage models this year...
The side view of the new YZ450 is so sexy, it just looks super light and makes me want to ride. Similar to how I felt about my 2013 KTM 250SX when those were new.
My bike
new bike white kit, new wheels/ billet hubs
