This 2021 CRF450 went full internet stupid. Rules of internet motocrossing: -The people that chirp the loudest about a bikes/gear/products downfalls have never rode/tried the product. -99% of people that post 2 stroke memes have never done a lap riding one on the pipe -The people that comment on bike releases bitching about how much bikes cost wont/couldnt buy them is the cost was half. -Energy drink logos = horsepower. With all that out of the way. I will state what I have told 100+ people in person since getting my 21 crf450 October 3rd. 10+ rides on it. I...

Sound and smell do not enhance riding. When you hear a bike or smell gas and oil, its does remind you of riding. That is why we love the sound and smell. When I was with Alta, I assisted hundreds of riders demo an Alta. When a rider finished a demo, they always had a big smile on their face and not once did a rider complain about the absence of sound. I raced mine 3 times and pulled 6 holeshots with 4 moto wins and two seconds against mostly 450's. I loved the bike and wished I would have...

KTM bikes and KTM motorcycles were at one time part of the same company and then the company was split and sold off separately in the early 90's. Both companies have manufacturing in Mattighofen, albeit KTM Motorcycles does have some bikes produced in India. Additionally, both companies use the recognizable KTM logo and color scheme. KTM motorcycles also makes some pretty sick street bikes and some of the best ADV bikes in the world. While the motorcycle and bicycle companies are not officially under the Pierer Mobility umbrella, they are still loosely connected. As for Husqvarna, Stefan Pierer purchased Husqvarna...

I can only speak for myself, so I won't try putting words into anyone's mouth, but I harp on the broadcast team because of the massive disparity between the show on the track and the show in the booth. I'm a racing fan, first and foremost. I'm not a fan of supercross and motocross because I love riding, or because my family was into it (I've never even touched a dirtbike in my life). I was drawn in by the racing on the track, and it is BY FAR the best racing in the world. Period. There is passing, there...

If they are able to hit the mark like they did with the Sur Ron Light Bee they will sell a bunch of them. Not a world class anything, but a tremendous fun package for really cheap that has proven to be reliable. Lot's of riders reporting the ability to get way deep in the boonies where they would never attempt on a big bike opening up new opportunities. Lot's of upsides with a strong cult following. This is the type of bike that will attract millenial's and new riders and bring back old riders who quit riding.

I have the small "ebike" version of this, the Sur Ron X, and it's an absolute blast to ride. 110lbs with a removable battery and takes about 3 hrs to charge and gets about 2 hrs or 40 miles of ride time. No engine maintenance is nice and I can ride it through the neighborhood and nobody cares. I can even take it on the sidewalk at slow speed and people just wave hello. For everyone that automatically shits on the electrics just for being different and not "core" enough, you really should keep an open mind and give them...

“....and this is my other cat, Harvey. He’s so silly. Oh, and this one is Mittens. He LOVES chasing lasers on the floor. We call him Mittens because his paws are white. Oh, and here are all 7 of them together last Christmas. Look at them in their little Christmas sweaters and Santa hats!”

I'd love a Japanese 350. But I'd like to see them make it like a mini 450 with all the power down low (kind of like the 2018 YZF250), as opposed to the Austrian 350's which are more like big 250's and have most of the power up top. I think that would sell well as it would be different enough from the Austrian bikes, plus it would have the Japanese name and image of reliability for people who are still concerned about KTM/Husky Euroness or reliability. A super torquey YZF350 would be awesome. Can't imagine it would be that...
