70?! Thats so cool man. Keep going!!

Yea, no, its Roczen running the best gear, setting it up for a super fast human !

Bro rockzen could win on anything the fact is Suzukis just arnt as good as the other bikes on the market

When a Suzuki's motor is built and everything is aftermarket, the engine character and turning ability is one of the best. Kenny could've rode anything, and what did he choose? And you proved my point - all the bikes are so competitive that it's about experience, talent, fitness, and skill above the bikes! The Suzuki obviously ain't that far behind, and for the avg consumer it's plenty fast enough (and obviously a good base for Kenny to achieve the same performance as he did on the Honda), and has the potential to be turned into a rocketship of torque - and this is coming from a guy that my engine builders BUILT JGRs bikes so I know that they have the ability to be freakishly fast, just like any other bike. When new bikes come out they aren't totally reinventing the wheel here - it's a friggin engine on a chassis with two wheels, primary drive, suspension, two wheels, brakes, clutch and a throttle...that's why guys with 80s 2 strokes can spank you with your new bike - they aren't that obsolete either, buddy. A bike is a bike is a bike, and Suzukis aren't bad bikes at all, and aren't so far behind everything else...you said it yourself, it's mostly about the rider's performance cause the bike is gonna deliver what you ask of it if you set everything up for yourself.

@@jonathondavis170 no I said rockzen can win on anything he’s an exceptionally hood rider, and he chose Suzuki because they offered him a ungodly amount of money it wasn’t the bike lol Suzukis are the worst bike a rider can ride I have 2 of them and wouldn’t pick them over anything and those stock 80s 2 strokes would break in half on the tracks we have now good rider or not, Suzukis are way off the ball thus nobody rides them 🤦🏻

Suzuki still sucks, just because some one won 1 race one means nothing. Props to roczen not the bike. I love Gsxrs and 2 stroke suzukis, there current moto bike sucks compared to every other one

whoever pays the most to MXA wins the shootout.

it's so weird to see that. my last mx bike was the 1996 KTM 250 SX and it was awful ergonomics. man, things have changed with the 4-stroke revolution. for me, seeing brands like gas gas, husky, and KTM winning anything outside of enduro/scrambles shootouts is surreal. 😄

Back in my day (the 90's), there were 4 bike manufactures (all Japanese) that had a legitimate shot at win the shoot out (usually Honda followed by Kawi) and 1 KTM token entry that everyone could laugh about. Man how the times have changed

@@motowipeout5670 I remember those days. The only people who bought KTM were those that liked to be different. The big 4 were heads and shoulders above it.

I think it's just the other bikes have improved in these departments over the years

Husaberg, Husqvarna (and the other Euro brand that I cannot remember) were winning GPs in the early 90s. It was those bikes that spelt out a change was coming because they were light and very fast.

God that bike was insanely fast switching from a 250 4 stroke it was scary

It was the Yz400F it was a 97’ I have one but it’s a 99’ great bike she’s just a bit heavy Ktm.

Can't argue with that

TM 450 Fi?

Bottom end problems galore. A teaspoon of oil is not enough. This relegates the Yamaha reliability on par with the KTM and its brothers.

​@@bossmonkey1126 what bottom end issues are you referring too? Unless your referring to problems with the 2023, yamahas are pretty damn reliable if you've ever owned one.

Every Yamaha I had outlasted every other brand I had.. I’m not sure what issues other people have

Yamaha sucks. Most of their shit is heavy bulky crap ass bikes. Kawasaki and suzuki all day.

@@pauliewalnuts240 correct, 2023

Exactly, I own the crf450 and love it...corners like a dream. Power is awesome and useable

well thats your opinion. and also why they talk about the type of people the bike could cater to.

Ya, that would be good. I wish they'd do a cross country version. That Yamaha is magic, but literally ONLY the race bike got the upgrades. The 2023 YZ-450FX is a 2022 clone with new graphics. I have to imagine not everyone watching is after one of the straight up race bikes. Likely many viewers, such as myself, will hit the dealership looking for the X versions. Yamaha comes in last there.

You mean for the sleds ?

@@motobrostv1761 no

@@weekendwarrior6285 well their definitely not putting power steering on a dirt bike so your information is wrong 😂

@@UnsungThermidor lol ok buddy what exactly are they trying to achieve with power steering 😂

@@UnsungThermidor if your referring to their development of EPS all it is is a electronic steering damper it dosent act as power steering 🤦🏻

Dude it’s so bad lol

None of the current 450’s disappoint on power…. The Suzuki is still a beast.

I prefer a kicker

@@patrickrodriguez320 I don't mind a kick start usually. But there's times I'll find myself stalled out on some weird angle on a rough hill when a start button would be nice.

@@jondoe4667 True. But a nicely tuned bike that starts in 1 kick just has a nice feel

@@patrickrodriguez320 mine is fuel injected and starts first kick. But it's surprising how often I find myself on the side of some hill or rocks or just in a weird position where getting to the kick start isn't always easy. Last year when I wrecked I broke my collarbone, and trashed my knee pretty bad. I eventually was able to get myself on the bike but there was no way I could start it. I think if I had e start that day I maybe could have limped it out of the desert. And I guess if I'm being honest I'm 37 and starting to gel lazy in my old age. 😂. E start isn't a deal breaker for be unless I was spending the money on a brand new bike.

You stole my comment, before I could make it! Haha

YZ will be the winner

Pretty good shootout dude

Get an E subscription.

@@TheKitchenTechnician The best part is getting the hard copy though. I still buy it locally from time to time.

@@kingGar27 I hear ya. I used to buy all the hard copies every month. Just works better in bed or on the porcelain throne but it can get expensive.

@@TheKitchenTechnician That's it, exactly. I still flick through copies from years ago when Carmichael and Bubba were on the covers!

yamaha

KTM, here on the slower muddy tracks of the east coast.

Each Dyno is different a different calibration has nothing to do with the wrong numbers

@@mattcowlard4662 Which shootout is the most accurate then ? All the others that say the Yamaha is clearly the power king or this one who says it's not ? I mean the #'s they show in this one aren't even remotely close to all the other shootout's . Even the manufacturers own #'s are considerably different .

Each dyno is different. Each dyno will put out different numbers. What we do is use the same dyno in the same conditions to get consistent numbers throughout time.

Triple clamps solve the head shake and star runs af clamps so head shale isn’t the ishue their

I noticed that to not sure whether dirtbike and mxa use the same dyno but there power curve is totally different to dirt rider yamys got more power every were than the kato on dirt riders

Kawasaki is just better, that's why.

@@michealortiz3350 its not according to his own words.

7kg lighter than the Factory specs on the bike im looking at buying. What reason is there for giving out incorrect info?

What did u end up with mate? I'm stuck between these two right now

It’s actually from Walmart’s e-razor bike

They dont sell their bikes yet.

@@christernilsson2770 But I thought people are buying them in the US already?

Not even close brah.
