2023 SR450

Walked into the local dealer for a radiator overflow vent hose and there she was. Absolutely did not plan this and was shocked they had one. Currently on a 2020 and planned to be through this race season but saw her and my Pockets instantly vaporized. The wife was completely down as long as it was “the exact bike you want”. I’m a lucky dude! Happy Holidays Moto Fam! 💯

Man that’s an awesome scoot. The SR’s engine is noticeably more healthy!

Nice bike and sounds like an awesome wife! The SR is a killer bike, best 450 I’ve ever ridden.

Im surprised you found one on the floor.  I’m not a Green bike guy but if I had it to do over again I’d have looked harder at a KX450.  Not saying I don’t like my Honda 250R but seems like a bunch of older guys like myself are riding KX450’s.  Must be a reason.

This thing is a fucking missile. I do not like the grips or throttle tube and will be changing pegs and a few other miscellaneous items but I am extremely impressed.

Do you have the 22 or 23? I wanna know how the forks are on the 23, I wish they kept the kyb.

I have a 22 SR and had 21 before. Like they said, it’s a rocket ship. The KYB is hands down better then the stock Showa on my 21. Lots of hold up, but still plush. Forks don’t dive in the corners and can handle some heavy landings.

I have the 23 and after 2 hours today at settings exact to my 20 which are also just one or two off from Keefers recommendations I like them. A little harsh up top but I also did not adjust anything. Just focused on breaking it I’m and feeling everything out.

Congrats, it looks awesome! I'm in the market for one, I just want to know the forks are as good as the KYBs the '22 came with.
