    Just picked up this bike and it's so fun to ride. Dare I say I got it for under 10K out the door. I'm older now but have always been a Kawi fan after having a 99/2005/2007 KX this one reminds me of the seriously fast engine on the 1999 but also has a suspension level that I haven't seen anywhere. Love it!

The stock exhaust would be the first thing I would remove lol.... if you seriously plan on buying a 2019 KX450 with the intention of keeping the stock exhaust system on it then you probably don't have any business owning or riding one to begin with.

    Definitely would change suspension first no reason to spend over 600 for an exhaust system when it doesn’t give much more power for the bike. It’s only based on weight and looks which isn’t a big deal to a lot of people. Plus like said below most 450 owners won’t even use all the power of the bike anyway.

    Looks like shit. Looks like 2 bikes mixed. Side plates like ktms, shrouds look like older kx 125/250s, fromt fender still looks dated, same with front plate. Exhaust looks stupid long and if you were to loop it for whatever reason...bye bye exhaust. Most people will swap out the slip on. Hopefully FMF or Pro Circuit can make it tuck nicely behind the plate with the end cap showing. Would still buy a KTM/Husky or a YZF.

    I can put 100 hours on a 450 before it needs a top end rebuild. My old KX125 had about 4 top ends and a bottom end by then. Get over it. It's the way the sport has headed; these bikes are so much faster and better than they were 10 years ago. New 2 strokes aren't even that much cheaper than the fours anyway, so I don't know why you are saying all this. If you wanna dirt hack go buy an old TTR or KLX 250. If you want the best, then you have to buy what the market demands...

    Joey Diamond It’s fucking ugly! what do you see that makes it look good? Plastics are smaller and uglier than ever, exhaust looks like it’s not in the right position and the bike sounds like shit. Don’t say how please

    Joey Diamond engine looks like a chode, shrouds look like they're from 10 years ago, graphics are juvenile, side plates are meh.

    was actually going to say, it looks like they've modelled the plastics (radiator shrouds only) on the 2007 KX125/250. Even the same green from then too
