Will it be homologated during the outdoors, and will we see Eli on it?

I mean the real production info with pics. I’ve seen all the spy stuff and know generally what to expect, but want to see the final product, release date (or when they will hit the dealers), and the pricing. I need a 2019 450 and I want the info!!! ???

Glad I didn't buy the 2018... the spring fork alone should be worth it

2018: $6400 plus $600 for the spring conversion. The 2019 will be around $9200 msrp.

Tough to say what the better deal would be..

This would have been a perfect morning to release official photos of the 2019 KXF450. Alas.

$9200 - $6400 = $2800 - $800 (spring conversion) = $2000....A far cry from $4k.....

The electric start alone is worth at least a grand to me..

I agree. And it’s not like my 16 is hard to start either.

Depends on price of the 19 model, i doubt you will get it $9200. That being said at $6400 the 18 is a great bargain.

Random thought, but I hope they go back to gold outer fork tubes instead of silver. Don’t know why, but the silver tubes just look cheap to me.

Im sure the bike will be good but the 2008 plastic makes me question if I will buy one.
