Ahh..there’s the 5 pounds!

Yea, it would suck being that slow, rolling around the track in 4-7 place making 500k a year.

Thanks man, sure brings life into focus. Riding motocross seems like such a gift right now.

Clamp companies wouldn’t be in business if only pros looking for the 10th of a second bought them. buy what makes you happy and more comfortable. Nothing wrong with putting money into the industry

Good spot to be in, but man that's tough! I love the 2019 -2023 design, with the SR being my favorite production bike built to date. With 21.5/22mm offset clamps and a PC linkage with accompanying spring rate increase, it would be even closer to the handling of the 2024+ chassis. However, no one wants to toss those clean 23mm Xtrigs on the shelf, have to spend extra on the complete linkage assembly, or be on an older design come selling time. I'd personally wait until the aftermarket has a "fix" for the 2024 air filter/airbox design or wait for...

well the new "slow" 2024 KX450 just pulled the holeshot in vet 35 + at mini o's....kind of interesting that such a slow machine could pull a holeshot.

Kawi 450 intro setup @ glen Helen tomorrow.

I think people need to realize there’s not a person on this thread that can actually use all of a 450 in third gear. Every track is different and everyone uses the clutch differently. I don’t use the clutch at all so I ride the gear that makes that possible, if a 450 doesn’t have enough bottom end for you you’re just in the wrong gear. The same people who want to compare 450 motors also say a 350 is all anyone needs in the next thread

Ksr wheels, keith is awesome

I can relate, im 20 trapped in a 60yr old body, still trying to figure how to stop aging, lol. Father time and mother nature are undefeated, if anyone wants to do somthing and they can do it, do it now, cuz no guarantee we can do it later!

With all due respect, can someone please explain the obsession with this guy? How is he still relevant, and what makes people think he could still be competitive? Complete waste of talent, and it doesn't seem like he's a great guy. I just don't get it.

If you like vintage and current, this "retro" themed one might scratch both itches. Looks like a cross between the current design and the '85-'90 US model. Also resembles Danny LaPorte's 1982 World Championship winning Yamaha 250 (Danny's bike had a black frame). All it needs are the Yamaha "racetrack" graphics to complete the look.

Let me end this discussion.....

Let’s get some stuff straight because you’re losing yourself. 1. I’m my own boss. If a MX coach acts like the rider is the boss, the relationship will last but the results won’t come. In any sport, the athletes aren’t the coaches’ boss. It’s the other way around, buddy 2. Pourcel threw himself under the bus (or shot himself in the foot) and not only at MotoConcepts. With the talent we had in 2011, Chiz, THahn & Cie, the results & the bike weren’t as bad as everyone thinks. Chiz was riding well until he snapped a chain in Houston...

175 and 300cc 4 strokes….

One of the coolest bikes every built was Chicken's DMC KX125.....
