No it was not, look at vital mx shoot out, the best yet. This one did a horrible edit, and did not do correct bike placement, for instance, I like kawi, but the Honda totally beat it by a far amount. Kawi changed a good amount. But he Honda beat the hp, and they changed and redesigned the whole look. This isn't the best.

the geometry of the bike is the handling and the suspension just gets you there without bruising those kidneys. The bright side of poor suspension, you could pass a kidney stone after the bike bottomed out the whole time.

Shelby Paget it's a lot easier to revalve and change springs than it is to change fundamental things like geometry. Buy a bike that turns and spend some coin on the suspension.

ride a 1997-1999 CR250 and you will understand

Yea, that's a conundrum there but possible.

@@neilpincus4667 truth.

KTM rocks. Get the factory edition to be a hero at any track. Stay safe!

Bryce Hunter I own both a cr 450f and a yz450f and I can honestly say the Honda is alot better. It feels as light as a 250f but has alot more power than past years. The bike would have been my first pick out of all the bikes

Marcell 97 yz450f fo life

Shawn Melnick agreed. I got a 2016 yz450f limited edition yellow and it is the best bike I have ever been on.

The Honda is way lighter that's the only thing I like about it more.

Marcell 97 nice! I have the 06(50th anniversary) yz450 and it's unbelievably great all around, and love the yellow on them

Jade get the honda broo i have ridden the new one thanks to a local dealer its leaps and bounds better than last years honda or get a husky

came here to say exactly this. get your levels right guys

yeah that shit was bad

BLACK HOODY legit he said "two tha tha seventeen" lmaooo

Broken

Wolfgang Baer stuck in italy

mine is never broken

m1ke2001 maybe but it wuold be great if they reviewed one

Tm just recently has been setting up in America, in 2018 they plan on having their own factory team compete in AMA supercross and Nationals, i bet at that point the american moto mags will finally put the TM in their shootouts

grabir01 5 more horse power will get you farther

m1ke2001 no when the 2 stroke is way lighter bro power to weight is way greater

Backwoodsboy405 again way lighter of a two stroke has more mid to top so nice try but a two stroke is still faster if you can ride it right. Fastest riders of all time start on two strokes wow wonder why and 4 strokes have to have double the ccs to have 5 more horsepower its a choke your a tool if you think a four stroke is faster

Garrett Gustafson 4 strokes is an EPA thing.

Garrett Gustafson 4 strokes are faster bud.

they dont make a motocross bike, just enduro models.

fox13z400 250x is motocross to

jesse allen lmao there biased so it will problably happen

ktms are the best brand bike they listen to what other people say on what they can improve so yes they will be winning it next year. and they will pull away from the other brand in years to come and be the best bike by far

It should, its like 4 grand more expensive then all the other bikes.

@@ThatcherKSA Actually the KTM was only $1,300 more than the Honda & Yamaha when I went shopping for a new 450. When you look at what the KTM comes with stock such as the ODI lock on grips , A60 Excel rims , a hydraulic clutch , CNC machined triple clamps , CNC machined hubs , Brembo brakes , electric start , 2 stage on the fly map settings mounted on the handle bar's , on the fly traction control & launch control. If you were to buy those upgrades for the Honda & Yamaha it would cost way more than $1,300 ! The KTM is the lightest bike in the class with the most horsepower too ! I rode Honda's for 15yrs but after checking out the KTM I had to make the switch. It's now 3yrs later & I couldn't be happier with making that decision ! The KTM 450 is by far the best bike I've ever rode ! Oh yeah , something none of the shootouts ever talk about & that's 5th gear top speed ! The Jap bike's all have around the same top speed at 85 - 90mph , the KTM's top speed is 125mph !!

Or the fact they currently make the best bikes on track?

LoCk3H tru but i was hoping the crf would win

"so the KTM is currently the fastest bike on the track and the best all round performer, but some guy on KZfaq hopes the crf will win so we're gonna put it in first"

Why is it that the shootouts are always the same? The husky and KTM are always the top 2

Hondarider21 they don't pay the magazine editors. they just happen to make the lightest, fastest, best bike in the class. I'm sorry that you can't deal with the fact that your Honda lost. European brands just listen to what the riders want and they make changes. Japanese brands make what they want. Suzuki doesn't even change their bikes.

For the price, yeah. My local kawi dealer has been trying to sell their 16 kx450f since august for $6999.

motomeady hunting nd motocross green team ftw

motomeady hunting nd motocross That's your opinion.

jesse allen in the 250 shootout Ktm had a oil leak from the engine

Dude all the bikes are close. Well the jab bike's are anyway! The Ktm/husky's, well there at a totally different level. They really should have there own review. Just saying! Go orange or go white if you can afford it. But If your on a budget go jab. Yell still be happy. :)

David Wood I love Suzuki but they need to up there game....Apparently next years Suzuki should be something special

Suzuki will do a engine upgrade next year and it will get better but it still wont be in top 3

Never lol I think a orange bike beat him plenty of times.

andrew geary he was injured during the supercross season

No one out there is 100% its just part of the sport. Well see whats up in just a few days. Im not a Dungey fan im a 41 fan but there are to many people counting Dungey out when he has killed Kenny the past 2 years.

andrew geary ya but Kenny has got it dialed in it seems like in the monster energy cup he was beating everyone pretty bad

Till he ended up on the dirt. With as good as Dungey is going down and getting a DNF inst a option. He couldnt make it 3 10 lap races with out hitting the dirt. Kenny is the fastest guy out right now but he isnt a 17rd podium guy.

Only a pussy would say not as aggressive :D

LoCk3H hahaha

LoCk3H bro im not fukn james stewart i dont need a crazy hard hitting motor that has no rev? Do you trail ride or do Gncc i need torque and a long reving motor. I have ridden cr500s hard hitting is fun but for an everyday consumer who may not know what the fuck there doing they dont want that!? So plz dont go calling people pussies unless you know why there saying that you fukn moron

LoCk3H what does less aggressive sound like a smoother power band rolls the power on and revs. Aggressive is going from calm to ballistic and then signs off power is gone who the fuck wants that i want it all the way through the power band equal power if its trying to yank the bars out of my hand does that sound fun but your obviously wayyyyyy toooo fukn stupid to understand what im talking about so just keep acting like a badass calling people pussies in youtube comments.

Setting the KTM in soft map on the bars fixes any hard hit

Braden Hunter The video says so.

Sleepy .Time ikr

Storm Singer exactly what i said vital mx is the way to go and they gave Husky the win over Ktm

E46MRider lmao!! Good one😭

YUP !!! The KTM is 💯🔥🔥🔥❗
