All

Hey guys. I’ve also heard from a couple people through email that their TF-450s are going into neutral. If you can email me the exact problems and maybe I can see what’s up and possibly help. I can’t guarantee anything but I at least can try. Doesn’t hurt to at least give er’ a try. It’s not my job but happy to help if I can. You can email me through my website.

Loving mine. It took some work, initially the bike was terrible when I set it up similar to my YZ450F, we softened it and it was great until the suspension it broke in and it was absolutely terrible again. A little bit of time on the clickers fixed it right up. I'm still running a 110/90 rear on it but updated to the new Pirelli MX32s. The old ones had better edge grip but it like to skate around on decel, hooked up hard on throttle though. I notice the bike isnt a fan of square edge chop or hits...

Agreed 1000% with you and some of the other sentiments in here, which kind of is what I was getting at with saying where’s the unique builds. They’ve had no problems doing the 5000th yz250 builds, the 900th 350 build but no beta 350 mega 2 stroke build? Nobody’s curious if there’s some big power hidden in a Ducati Desmo valvetrain? Idk like you all said it’s copy and paste year after year and a total advertisement. Such a joke and such a shame.

Keefer literally has a full column called "Garage builds."

That would be cool to see some of the new bikes built up. A lot of those build articles/vids sometimes end up just seeming like an advertisement for parts though. It can be entertaining but a lot of them, just lack substance and just talk about what is on the bike. I used to really like those types of write-ups but now I have sort of gotten interested in things like Keefer does where he addresses a complaint or area of a bike with a possible solution. Even if I don't have the bike, I just like reading about ways...

Thanks Michael. If this feature can't continue in the future, it's a true loss and a shame. Appreciate your efforts, and talents.

They are already...there is 2025 GG 450s on cycle trader for $6400. Its the same price as the RMZ. Every other japanese bike is more (except maybe kawi when you factor in the rebate deals but that also has a timing aspect to it). Its just a weird spot pricewise the gas gas brand is at. They are cheaper than the other two austrian bikes but the quality is also significantly less than those two brands. The only GG I see "worth" buying new is a factory edition. If you are going to buy an austrian, spend the extra $...

I don't think either of Ducati's SX riders are capable of winning a race this year against the likes of Hunter, Eli, Coop, and Sexton. If they did it would be an anomaly. In that regard, I consider the Ducati strategy flawed. That said, partnering with TLD gets a big thumbs up. The bikes look pretty sick too. So they might not need race wins to successfully market and develop their products. So maybe lining up in the premier class straight away is a good thing. 🤷‍♂️

The 350 crowd are almost as annoying as the Electric wierdos.

I would think that it would have to come from Anderson, Stewart or Cooper. I’ll take Stewart.

I think Gajser has an easier switch from one alu fram to an other. Herlings has never ridden a alu frame but i would think he will fit the honda good.

I’m a slob I can’t decide which kit I want to run

Miss the days when the media would go over to Japan for round 1 of there series and would get the spy photos of the new bikes. Was always cool to see.

Thats pretty crazy that it has that much more hp and tq than the yz450f and is lighter. Its gonna be a beast. That being said the 450s are plenty fast enough, I believe the real game changer is going to be the 250f. 8 more hp and 6 more ft lbs on a stock 250f would be insane. Cant wait to see the numbers on that bike when it comes out. I think the triumph is a great bike and they really did a great job coming right out with a competitive bike right out the gate. That being...
