Lucky bastard 😂 congratulations brother 👍🇺🇲
Hey Mike congratulations! If I was you I would take apart the rear linkage and grease it if that kid didn’t do it for you. There always dry. Also the steering stem
Congrats bro it’s always been my dream to have a crf250 with duals or a 450r quad … again congrats can’t wait to see u get comfortable on that beast
congrats, set up the suspension sag, compression, rebound for your weight right away, makes it alot more manageable when setup properly!
Congratssss on the new bike brotha enjoy this one. Even off camera enjoy all the hard work that has paid off and enjoy the fruits of your labor man you deserve this moment and we’re all happy for you. Love you man enjoy it have fun riding and be safe💯 see you next video.
Shout Out to the Kid that started out putting bikes together and is now the Service Manager...And still in High School!
for sure , already has good work ethic and obviously the ability to speak and explain well..
I was going to say the same thing before I saw your message. That is pretty impressive and good job to the dealership for giving him the chance and opportunity at that age!!!
very much so, smart kid,
It’s 10:30 pm and I rode just the other day but damn this makes me wanna go ride lol, congrats on the new new bike…nothing like a brand new one. I’ve a 22 ktm 250sx
He said service advisor not manager but still impressive
Thank you Mike so much for buying your new KX 250x from us and making the awesome video. It turned out fantastic 👍🏻🔥
It was an awesome experience man! Thanks for going above and beyond to make it extra special 🤘👊
The f*ckin explosion when he threw the stuff in the trash....epic haha
Congrats on the new bike man! You deserve it!!
"You wanna stop and re do it?
No i like to keep things authentic."
Congrats Man
I was hoping you bought a old kx250 2 stroke still in the box :(
Take the factory plastics off now. Replace them and keep the factory ones nice. If you don’t you’ll wear them out and have to change them anyway. Then you won’t have them.
Hey man, you've GOT to do a YAMAHA WARRIOR build!! It would be awesome!
No
YES 👍🏻. I'm an OG subscriber. Lol
#1 best word of advice stand as much as possible. Feels weird at first but you’ll have much more control
Hey mike, the yfzr shock you sold me fit excellent and rides nice. Thanks man
Dude I'm glad it worked out and thank you again for buying from my eBay store! 🤘
Badass bike mike! Hope someday I can feel that excitement! That thing should be a blast! Oh! And don't throw a thumb throttle on this one 😂
Haha, he better not
I'm a rider, never got into quads, but why does a thumb throttle bother people? Seems like it might have some advantages, especially if you're more familiar with it.
@@jameshealy4594 it's fine on a quad, but on a dirtbike? It's just a crime against humanity
@@NOTTApro142 but... Why? Is it just 'that's for quads'? Are quads not as cool and therefore it's seen as bringing down the bike? I just don't understand 😅
@@jameshealy4594 no. It's preference really, but thumb throttle are mainly seen and come stock on quads because the bars do not require as firm of a grip and control as on dirtbikes. Dirtbikes have twist throttles mainly. When you put a thumb throttle on a dirtbike it looks unnatural. And is harder to use than on a quad.
Bro the Kawasaki Grom 1:36 got me😂😂 you should get one of those next
hahaha i was like hol up
I absolutely love your videos. Inspired me to frame up rebuild my 1995 Honda fourtrax 300.
That's awesome man! Glad I could inspire you and thank you for the love! 🤘
Nobody takes the time to rebuild a bike like that. That’s awesome
Congrats man, a brand new bike is awesome. But im honestly surprised you went with a 250 instead of a 450. What was your reasoning?
Said he was a noob
Always look forward to when you post brother.
Congrats on your new crate bike Mike! And thanks for bringing us along.
Congratz brother, looks sexy. Kinda wish it was that 32:1 life tho 🤘
I hear you man! These 250 four strokes rev to the moon though!
This was a cool video. As a guy who's been to scotts many times. Scotts powersports is legit! I see them when I go to events and there real riders who work there!
Hey,Mike, I know you're busy, and a lot of comments to go over, but wanna you to know this is a great vid I've shared with all family and friends which one of the just got the same bike so cool my friend can't wait to see the z400 ripping trails and more riding vid they are my favorite fyi
No way man, your friend got a KX250X too? Glad you enjoyed my video and thank you for the love!
@MichaelSabo yea 24 model, and he asked if I would make a review vid on it. You're welcome 😊
This video made me so happy!!! Congratulations Brother!!! Hell Yeah!
Happy I could share the excitement with you man!
As a dealer of 35 years. Congrats Mike! I am thrilled for you. I would recommend ceramic coating every single inch of the bike before you rode it. You still could.
So happy for you Micheal. I've been watching you for about 2 years. Awesome videos! I fell in love with utvs about 5 years ago. I drive a old quad and I found your videos...making old quads look way better than new! I've been waiting patiently for you videos to return. You're my favorite you tuber. Big thanks!!! Keep doing what you do.
Back in 2015 I purchased my first brand new machine it was a 700 grizzly. I always dreamed about going into the show room and walking around looking at the bikes then sitting down to do the paperwork in person and experience all that fun.......But I never got so lucky. I was on the other side of the country for work for 6 months and my home dealership had a smoking deal. I wasn't going to be home for 2 more months so I had to wire my girlfriend the money and have her go buy it for me. Yamaha delivered it and when I came home 2 months later I had a brand new Grizzly waiting for me. I was kind of sad that I didn't get to experience the show room jitters and purchasing rush but it was a savings of 3 grand so I had to jump on it. But every time I see someone in the show room getting their new bike I think about what I missed out on. Congrats on the new bike.
Such an awesome feeling, 2008 bought a GSXR1000 in the crate. Waited around the showroom for them to assemble the bike. Drove it home ZERO Miles on the odometer. Mike I had the bike 4 months and it was stolen one night while I was asleep! WORST feeling ever. Nothing but best wishes for you brother you totally deserve this moment buddy.!!
Not an enthusiast but after watching this I want to ride! Bret Wagner & Scott Powersports, no way you can go wrong. And the kid in highschool putting that bike together, impressive.
$12449 for a 450 Husky, not bad honestly
It's all the other extra's you need to be able to ride lol
I know Pennsylvania but not that town. We are all happy for you and will cherish this moment as you experience it.
man your videos bright my day so much, keep that up! :)
Reading comments like this brighten mine... thank you!
buying a new bike that noone has butchered is a special thing. None of the bolts are seized. No lost 2nd key from the previous owner. Opportunity to keep a full service history. Gas tank isn't dinged inside by people banging the hose nozzle. No paint chipped off around the key hole where someone used their whole key chain loaded with a million keys that flapped around as they rode the bike.
Mike, the part of video with the bike spinning in your garage with the little bit of smoke: you’re a giant dork with your passion and I mean that in the most flattering way! Your like the 99% of us that see it that way in our head, like a bunch of big kids, and you bring it to life! Love it!
Congrats, Mike! Buying a new machine is a rad experience!
Well crap man you got me on building. But happy for ya. congrats on the new bike. I thought were actually Building a bike! Thats just assembly not building at all not hating jus saying title got me😂 hood looking bike tho never seen the offroad version in kxfX in-person. Looks good tho
I got my dream motocross bike its honda cr80r 1982 it has blown crankshaft bearings and i gotta rebuild it fully✌️
so you said you always want your bike blacked out is that something we will see later?
I can settle for green lol. As a kid though, that was my dream machine.
Congrats man!!! I just got my dream bike Two. A yz250fx i know the felling its awsome!!!!
Sweet bike man I bought a 23 kx 450x last April and I love every bit of it especially with the hot dfi connector the bikes an animal
Warriors are relics huh😂 it’s been my dream bike n im workin on mine tomorrow and Tuesday for my bday (my 22nd is tmrw)
Very cool to see the dealer process. Love the channel and the content. Keep it coming.
That's super awsome for you Michael. I'm 55yrs old literally ridden recreational woods and trail since I was ten yrs old. The best days ever have always been weekend trips. Seems like it takes me half a day to get warmed up sometimes and its always the second day that I see awsome improvement in my skills. Get those two day trips in as often as possible!! Have blast,push yourself and be a little carefully too,sometimes.lol.
Hey bro do you have any suggestions for riding places in northeast Pa me and my friend need more places to ride and thought you’d be a great guy to ask thank you!
You're getting arm pump cause you're holding on to much with hands. Grip the big with your legs
I'm surprised you didn't go for the 450. Most everything you have done is high hp
I was thinking the same thing . Michael is a big (heavy ) guy .
@BigRedGuy quit eating all that cake mike lol
Hearing that you get arm pump, with arms the size of Arnold's, is hilarious 😂😂
This video was just pure awesomeness and wholesomeness! Thanks for sharing your dream come true with us!
By far one of the best RUclips channels out here these days. Reminiscent of the Greg A truck channel (old garage build days). Love the way you are so meticulous with everything and explain things clearly and are funny to boot. Thanks for all the great content man.
That's a big compliment man; thank you!
@@MichaelSaborock on brother 🤘
Awesome!, Congratulations, you deserve it! I grew up on dirt bikes, switched to quads for a while but now am back on bikes. I ride a YZ250 that I bought used like everything I've owned. I'm 47 and still say one of these days I'll pull the string on a new bike. You've given me motivation to go ahead and do it. Get yourself a good set of bark buster hand guards. If you plan on riding tight single track, consider cutting your bars 1/4 to 1/2 inch on each side. I will make a world of difference. Enjoy!
Get the suspension done and set up for your weight and it will make it handle 100 times better
Everyone at that dealer seems really down to earth. The sales side guy was no BS and the young man assembling the bike was very professional and good at his job. Seems like this dealer attracts good people.
I hope you know you pretty much just made me go buy a new bike just when you talked about that feeling I immediately hopped online to look for a brand new 450 it all works out though. Thanks.
Haha, I can't apologize too much for that - it's an awesome purchase if you can afford to do it! Very rewarding!
Mike a trick to not braking levers is just make the clamps tight enough that they stay but if you smack it, itll move! And buy a few air filters lol, and a spare bolt kit! Check bolts every few rides, I almost lost a fender haha😂. And hold on with your legs!!! Squeeze hard and relax your arms! It will take a long time to build muscle where you don’t get so tired. It took about 2 summers for me and i can stand the whole time now.
Great advice! I like the idea with the levers - that makes a lot of sense
Hey Mike you worked really hard for this bike and you deserve it I hope you love it
Fuckin incredible man. What an awesome to buy a new bike. Ive never had a brand spankin new dirtbike, but ive bought brand new harleys and its every bit as awesome as it seems. The harleys have a new vehicle smell to em thats just amazing!... congrats dude, love your channel.
Thank you for the love man! And yes - something about the new bike smell that's very satisfying too
Come down to ocean county Mike, I’ve got some amazing riding soits
Word of advice, don’t let this bike sit and idle and “warm up” for more than 45 seconds to 2 mins. From ice cold to boiling over takes less than 3 mins. That goes for any modern 4 stroke without a cooling fan
Thank you for the advice and for the invite!
Awesome bike Mike enjoy and as always have fun!!🙂👊
Id love to see more videos on this bike doing upgrades and riding it!!!
ur gonna want a 450 in a day
Lol, it's possible once I get used to the 250
My exact thought. He'll be regretting going with the 250 before theres one hour on the meter
Facts.
I wish my KX250x came with a kickstand me and my buddy have been looking for some but they are like $200 a piece 😭
What year? The new ones come with them standard - definitely a nice feature
Nice bike mate, my son has the 2023.. congrats
Congratulations Mike, You definitely deserve it..Thank you for sharing it with all of us
You rock Dr. Quad
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Mike…. Your like 240lbs. Buy a 450
I would’ve pegged you for a Yamaha guy lol. Nice bike brother! Enjoy!
I do like Yamaha's, but can't beat the Kawi green!
I remember I bought my first brand new 22 raptor 700r se 2 years ago off the show room floor. Great feeling. Now I want a brand new bike next. Either a 250r or 450, Honda or Yamaha 😁
Man I’m sooo jealous bro😂,glad you’re enjoying it after all that hard work!
HEY CONGRATS MIKE'' I NO THAT FEELING OF GOING TO THE DIRT BIKE PLACE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO BUY IT. I REMEMBER THE 1986 CROME Z 50 BACK IN 1989 I WAS TEN YEARS OLD, AND I HAD A 1985 Z 50- LOOKING AT ALL THE NEW STUFF. WHAT A GREAT FEELING. STILL TO THIS DAY, I LOVE LOOKING AT ALL THE BIKES QUADS AND MOTORCYCLES SIDE X SIDES OMG IT'S HEAVING! GREAT VIDEO MIKE ✌
Wow I'm happy for you I love following your content. I work at a powersports dealer in Wisconsin and I do this all day. It's such a fun job. I restore my own stuff at home like you but a bit slower and not on RUclips. My most recent unit is a 400 ex and I've used your videos to help me on my builds! Thanks for everything. I'd love to go on a ride with you one day.
Should have bought a Yamaha YFZ450R 🥲
Just here to see if Mike puts a thumb throttle on it 🤣
Congratulations brother! I thought we were going to see the big dog cry. Good for you Mike! Always great content, keep it up. -Mike
So happy to see you be able to get the bike / have a dream come true Mike! Hope the subscriber count / views continue to grow to reflect how great your content is !
Nothing beats sitting down with some snacks and watching your stuff!
Great video! Hello from Greece 🇬🇷 💙
Always happy when Mike is happy. Now ya got a bike to match your quad!
Really disappointed you didn’t get the throwback bike :(
Doesn't come in the "X" version :(
Congratulations Mike!! It’s always a great feeling to finally get a brand new bike that you have always wanted! Stoked to see you out there ripping it!
I was happy just watching the video. Buying a new Bike is awesome. Thanks for sharing this moment with us.
I wonder who took out the watch children sign 27:12
Nice bike. I like that Kawasaki green too.
I love the smell of fresh bikes at the dealership. Brings me back to my childhood drooling over the bikes in the showroom.
They should make air fresheners and candles with that scent of new bikes and quads:). Hey, I think I’m onto something.. candles called bikes and quads and it will smell just like a showroom filled with dirt bikes and quads and racing fuel:)!
I KNEW IN THE END YOUD END UP ON 2 wheels!!!!!
It’s crazy how many Powersports have an AJ that’s a mechanic
Lol
knowin Michael it aint gonna be stock for long
That's awesome man! Been on quads my whole life and I've always wanted a dirt bike too. One of these days before I'm too old I'm going to get one lol something about watching dirt bikes riding single track is so entertaining, looks like a blast. Good choice I believe on the 250 as well these modern 250s are very fast and all you need.
Congrats man! It was great to see the behind the scenes action of putting the bike together that we don’t normally get to see. Have a blast with it and keep up the great work!
ahhh the memories .. 1998-2001/2 that was my job, I traveled south Ga for 2 Dealerships that had 4 locations(Savannah , Brunswick, Hinesville) and thats all I did, had my own rig consisting of the tools , jacks, air comp, manuals fuel caddy.. luckily they had forklifts .. I assembled all the brands at that time too.. bikes , dirt bikes, quads, skis, muels, ARGOs, even polaris n Victory & second gen Indian .. pay sucked in todays numbers but back then I was happy to do it per hour plus per unit fee aaand I got first test ride on everything !! I too have never bought anything New NEW from the dealer.. close tho, a new 2003 Indian Spirit Delux display w 0 miles (because they took a few parts for customer repairs) in 2006 ..so it was new but wasnt lol..
Awesome stuff man, but now you have to live with the fact that a high school kid just built your bike! lol He seemed to do a pretty good job though ... nice bike too!
Great video Mike, I’ve been going to Scott’s for many years it’s first name was Link Cycles Chris Conner sold me my dirt bike 1997 when I was still in high school with my odd jobs allowance each month for a year I bought a 1998 yz80 Chris Conner is your man to go to. Been watching your videos for a while I’m sure you live super close to where I live at, I also watch Matt Cogs I’m good friends with him been to his house got a 250x for a project build.
Last summer my neighbor let me ride his kx450f and his son let me ride his kx250f now being an almost 40yo 2 stroke rider having owned kx80 rm70 eventually at 16 I bought a 79 cr125 Elsinore and in my 20s owned a kx450 quad first year they came out in 07 I will say this the newer 4stroke mx are insane now the kx250f was much easier to handle and didn't want to kill me like the kx450f wanted too 😂 absolutely insane amount of torque in those mx450 bikes omg never in my life had I been so reluctant to open it up and I was in dunes 😂😂😂
SO glad I could help you bring your childhood dream alive . By scriben,liken & commenting !ALWAYS 5 👍👍👍👍👍 OUTA 5 👍👍👍👍👍 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘MY DREAM TO !
Good video Mike I was thinking of getting a 450 I’m 6’2 215 lbs but I only have a little experience on dirt bikes quad guy also and all my friends have 450s so this was a good video for me rn 🤙🏻
So happy for you Mike! You deserve it
Iv road many KTMs and still prefer Japanese built bikes, specifically Kawasaki and Yamaha! I guess it’s all personal preference
Grats on the new bike! I got my all black bike in 2020 with a new DRZ400S and just went back two months ago and bought a new KX450!
I’m also in the process of learning to ride a dirt bike and I’ll tell you what. The feelings you get on that machine is unmatched and Rey rewarding! I’m hyped for you man 🙏🏼
man why the f dont parents get their kids what they want/ I have a little boy and i buy him everything he wants. He's such a happy boy and man does he love his pop. ........Totally Kidding.
Ahhhh sabo you lucky dog love the dirtbike content brotha!!! Dont get me wrong your builds are sick but buddy...treat yo self!!
Haha, thank you bro! 🤘
Bro said kawasaki grom😂
love ur vids bro
😂
I took my 2007 R6 home in the crate… the only reason it was allowed is because my grandfather owned a Yamaha dealership and the bike was going back to that shop to be assembled. I purchased from a different dealer and brought it to my grandfathers 🤷♂️. Otherwise like Mike said, this normally won’t happen. Even under my circumstances it took persistence
Edit: also, my uncle is a certified Yamaha tech so even though I assembled it, he was there to sign off. Honestly, there wasn’t much to be done
Unfortunately ktm owens HUsaberg too. I absolutely HATE how ktm purchased HUSABERG just to shut them down. Fear of competition is so lame, and should drive you to do better, not just purchase them and shut them down. Give HUSABERG back to the people, and grow a pair...!
I’m in pa near Philly that’s a nice dealer we got east coast and fun center but they keep getting robbed, seems this place is by Quaker town about a hr north from me
