Just did the first 1000 km here in Poland. Yep great bike but...... It has short gearing, 125 indicated (120 gps) you are at 7000 rpm with 8500 red line. I have already installed 15T front sprocket, that drops the rpm about 500. The fueling off idle is not great (thx euro whatever it is). Throttle cable adjustment helps, but a good tune is the real solution. At 178cm and 75 kgs, bike fits me like a glove. The front suspension is firm, all the way out on preload and still playing with the dampening. Rear I added just a few turns on the preload. I do like the suspension, it's does a very nice job. The exhaust is actually on the loud side, ok I guess I am old. Skid plate is paper thin. I changed oil at 300 km. When removing the skid plate, the lower frame rails(they really are like lower skid plate support tubes, not very substantial) spread by a few cm. I had to use a tie down strap to bring them in prior to reinstalling the skid plate. I got unlucky, my cluth lever came without the pivot bushing pressed in........got replacement under warranty. Love all the adjustments, gear shift lever, both hand levers, suspension........ Mix riding computer shows 3.7/100, refueling math shows 4.0/100. Hope this helps someone.

thank you for your updates and your nice videos! Today i've ordered mine 450MT and i will receive it till the end of July due to high demand :)

Great video. Tks. It seams sprung rather hard. If that's all the issues u had at 900km I'm impressed. Well done

brother ive been following your videos from the day you got 450 mt love the content

You are full of enthusiasm, nice to see it. Good video

Great to see how much you're enjoying the bike, and the transition to ADV riding mate! Bit of a worry about those seat rubbers coming off already... that's always my main concern with a bike new to the market... what's the build quality? Only time will tell, I guess. Sadly, in this moronic "continual profit growth" world the only way to maintain that growth is to reduce quality, service etc. Hmmm... the people of Toowoomba seem to need a lesson on how to deal with their rubbish and not be rubbish people :( Great stuff mate!

UNICORSE!!!!!!! Thanks for the videos mate, really helping to me to make a decision.

Great videos on this bike bro

Great stuff....happy to see someone enjoying their new ride and developing a love for 'adventure' on two wheels; i have subbed to follow what you and the new MT get up to and i have finally made decision on my next bike...the 450 MT; just a quick question: did you have to buy the high seat or you just had to order it? i was under the impression the seat was an 'either or' arrangement with the dealer. Cheers

Am binge watching your channel lol

Another great video, I am really interested in adding this bike to my collection. Looking forward to seeing what your thoughts are about the taller seat.

You are a funny dude! I’d say you’d be a great riding companion on weekend trips & you come home with pizza on the back in a bag to feed the family 😉 The 450MT is a great bike for the price. Sounds great & is perfect for a weekend or week long trip. Looking forward to your review when you get the tall seat. Will you change the front sprocket to 15T? Seems to be the go from most on the FB group page🤔

I looked at the first minute and said to myself thats around home. Good to see you taking up adventure riding. Did you get it from Bike & Bits.

If they are still solid in a year I'll be sold.

I have ridden the new Himalayan and booked MT 450.. very different bikes… getting it in 3rd week of June😁

I've tried the taller seat. It good. Nice and comfy

Merci pour le partage, j'attends avec impatience que cette moto soit disponible en France, car j'aimerais la tester et comparer mes impressions avec l'hymalayan 450, ceci en vue d'un futur achat. Grand ✌️de la Haute Savoie en France

I am so curious as to what you will think of the Himalayan 450 in comparison to this one. I guess you will test drive soon.Good job you do here.,

That crease in the seat would irritate me every time I walked up to the bike. If that happened in the first 500 miles, it’ll be interesting to see what’s dropped off after 5000 miles.

💯💪

As a matter of interest, what is the heght of your screen and do you find the taller screen halps as It's been on my mind to get the taller screen too

I'm about to get my 450MT in tbar as well, got any good adventure rides you can suggest to a fellow new adv rider?

Hi. Good video!. I have a KLR 2014 with the same power and weight than the 450MT. However since the engine of the KLR is 650cc, the KLR goes at less RPM than the 450MT @ the same speed. I wonder if it would be a real upgrade going from the KLR to the 450MT. Cheers.

In your opinion what's the behavior of the moto in city traffic?

Hey bro, what cf moto forum you are talking from? I search for some input. ❤

I love your high tech navigation device when you've got a supposed high tech 5" TFT display which you can't use for Navigation. A bit of a big flop for the chinese in the tech department when Royal Enfield have Google maps interfacing on their new Himalayan on their round colour TFT display. Also not impressed they've used chinese brakes when other reputable manufacturers use Brembo & Bybre including Royal Enfield & new baby Triumph's. Again another failure is the chinese rubber while Triumph use Metzler Karoo Street which are a good quality tyre & Royal Enfield use Pirelli, although my Meteor has Ceat tyres which I've found to be a good all round tyre for city/ highway & off road-also no issues in the wet. I'm still running my original factory tyres with 16,500 km on my clock. Looks to me like you've upgraded the screen which is another cost. Id be interested to know your range from the huge 17.5 litre tank. I get 400+ ks from my 15 litre tank on my 350! This has also being a somewhat negative feedback that the economy is below par for a bike of this capacity. Actually I think the Triumph 1200cc Bonneville would be more economical. I think their's some work to do for their upgraded next gen model. Otherwise it was looking like a blinder in the lite middleweight segment. Sounds like you're having fun on it, which is the main thing..

Parts are falling off from a new motorcycle?!?! Bummer

Bro can you Show how you can lower the seat positon to 800mm

How is the quality brother?

how tall is that windshield?
