I’ve had a 24 KX450 for about year and half, got a good deal on a year end leftover. I don’t have much to compare to, first 450 for me. Always been a 250 guy, but had to have a 450.

anytime he is pressured, he starts playing games, gets frantic, and pulls a brain fart. The brake checking, weaving back/forth, looking back, riding ultra defensive... You think 450 guys are gonna play around w/ that? Until he races FORWARD, he's going to find himself picking up his bike. A LOT.
