Somehow, that front fender looks better than the one on the 2023 450.

I disagree. I Think it looks just as bad.

Kinda surprised the engine isn't really updated, aside from the ecu. Not that it needs it but I just expected an all new engine also. Looks about 2-3lbs lighter, overall. Love the retro scheme.

Pretty much a seat cover and the simplest graphic kit ever and you are there... after you drop the extra $200 for the white 50th aniv edition.

So why no new clutch setup like 450 got last year? It made the 450 engine smaller and less weight. More durable I believe since it got a steel basket like the ktm.

Fair enough.  And the FMF pipe.

Yamaha should make an OW version for their 50th.

They've already done that in 2016 for the company's 60th

I don't remember that one but I was thinking more like the Kawi SR edition (and the others) with performance upgrades on top of any graphic treatment.

Agreed, i'd like to see an OW version.

 

Admittedly, I'm a little biased.   I had an 87 YZ250.Cool  That's why Leshers is such a draw for me.

 

Me and mine.

What’s the general consensus on the traction and launch control? Gimmicky or actually useful?

Contributes to the ever increasing loss of actual skills related to riding/racing. 

Just like metal start grates, starting blocks, holeshot devices, rev limiter lights....

Yeah that’s why racers are so much slower and less skilled today…
