Prediction: RMZ places first, the other bikes don’t place anywhere as he doesn’t hop off the RMZ to ride them

Spoiler: don’t bother considering the RMZ, it isn’t capable of handling your C/D level riding and intense butt scrubs.

I say stick the 350 in there like Swap did. I’d think the vast majority of guys buying 450’s in this economy are probably vets.

Hope it's a 450 shootout with both the standard and the factory editions, always enjoy seeing how they all stack up against each other.

so since 2008 you've had one year of changes??? Meanwhile KTM has managed to update their two stroke line what every 3-4 years? Lets brag about a new bike every 10 years bro.

If you think your 17 two stroke is better than the “worst” 450 I’m not sure what to tell you. I wish you would have just told everyone you had a brand new FE 450. I’m on a modern FI 450 your on a carbureted two stroke, who’s on the dinosaur

I think I've owned plenty of new 450s over the years, even recently. I have to agree with you in a sense. I never did say it was better then the worst 450. Did I? Your claim to fame is fuel injection makes a four stroke modern!? A trend that started in what 2008? I think there's still a few years before carbureted two strokes are considered dinosaurs.... 

FI means a bike that changes every 10 years is modern.... So modern!

No 350 but I do have something unique up my sleeve for this one.

we did do a 300 vs 350 vs 450 test late last year, in case you missed that.

My point is my “outdated” rmz is more modern than yours, I’m having a hard time understanding how you have a leg to stand on is all, If you wanna argue you have more fun on it, fine. 

32:fun bro 

it has a bogggggg

So your "leg to stand on" is 15 year old technology, that you claim makes your bike "modern".... Can you confirm?

I feel like I'm on the playground in 4th grade arguing about who has the best lego collection.  Both you have bikes and whatever they are, that's cool.

a 2017 KTM is lightyears beyond a new rmz. It weights like 40 pounds less and makes the same power. Plus, the fit and finish is way nicer.
