This year, we rented Cahuilla Creek MX, invited the manufacturers to come out and help set up their bikes for each test rider, and set five test riders loose on the new Gas Gas MX450F Factory Editon, Honda CRF4500R Works Edition, Husqvarna FC450 Rockstar Edition, Kawasaki KX450 Special Racer, and KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition. To ensure consistent traction, we outfitted all of the machines with new Dunlop MX33 tires and used high-quality Motul lubricants in all of the bikes.

Best option is probably the Yamaha 450F ME w/ an FMF pipe. Prob cheaper than most of these too even with the pipe. Obviously it’s not a factory edition but if you add the pipe is might as well be.

Fun fact... I have a KTM 2005.5 250f...I claim it as the first FE bike KTM made...I had the only 2005.5 250f in my state. I was told they had to import at least 100 to the US to be able to ride it in AMA, 50 for each state then 50 extra in Cali...Still got the bike and rebuilding it after it has sat since 2010 or so

Cant go wrong with KX , I spent 5 years on ktm,s with a 2018,2019 and 2022 bike and also pucrhased a 21 yz450f just to try it. For 23 im back on kawasaki and they are so forgiving bikes to ride. The front tire just does what I want and expect which is something I struggled with on ktm even though I had switched to spring forks. I had tried cone valves then mx tech lucky, then carbon then black jack in that order. Definatley things I liked about all the bikes but overall package hard to beat kx for me.Looking forward to the 24 kx!

My 17 Honda 450 was a rocket ship, that hit incredibly hard. As a racer it was great on lap 1 and 2 but was unbearable at the end of a 6-7 lap moto. SR would be a turnoff for me. Controllable power on a 450 is a must

The stock YZ450F is likely better than all these bikes from my standpoint. You can't beat KYB suspension (possibly Ohlin's, which I suspect will be on the Ducati). I traditionally hate air forks and nothing pisses me off more than spending this much money on a bike only to dump thousands more into the suspension, just to get it on par with a stock Yamaha.The 2023 Kawi loses me with the couplers, so it will be fascinating with the 2024's stepping into the 21st century.

Well they have what other manufacturers DON'T and that's a GYTR ensemble that you can buy piece by piece and make something way nastier than what these manufacturers sell (and I'm a Honda owner and fan). They give you the base with the Monster Edition and you can add their Factoty spec cylinder heads with pistons, camshafts, valve springs, exhausts, clutch, billet clutch and ignition covers and more for a much more reasonable price than what I paid for my engine package.
