Man I wish I could afford one. I used to have a old ktm exc200 and absolutely loved it but sold it and I don't know why. Anyways ended up working on this house for a customer and he ran out of money and said he was going to sell his bike so work could continue. It was a old 2009 kxf I said don't sell it ill have it as obviously it wasn't worth much. As soon as I got it it had no compression in the kick so re shimmed it myself and it fired the first kick. Looked a bit dated so I've grafted the 2020 body panels onto it to make it a bit more modern looking. Had it years now. Won't sell it I love it. I wanted another enduro bike but don't want to sell it so made my own lighting kit that runs off a drill battery in the airbox last over 24 hours constantly on so it's brilliant. Many people are surprised to see it as an enduro bike. Obviously not very comfortable as one but I love the old girl. I bet those in the video are absolutely brilliant in comparison.
@@sulejmanzilkic3860 true, I don’t know what Kawi is doing! I mean they build a 10R with almost the same parts as they did since 8 years ago! It’s a shame to release old tech in a new design! It’s a great brand for sure but they should hire some translators to listen to customers worldwide
The reason they don't do it is because it's sooooo easy to do your own sumo conversion. Even someone who isn't very technical can pull one off. It seems a lot harder than it is trust me
The reason they don’t is all funding will be going to electric bikes they can’t waste money on design for stuff that really only has maybe 7-10 years left
Ive owned a 450 and it's such a tough call cause the power so awesome but if your riding all day if you dont know how to ride it, it will fatigue you prematurely and if your inexperienced its very easy to scare yourself with the power. The last thing you want the do is be hesistant of swinging a leg over your own bike!
Good comment on off-road racing and equipment choice. Enduro racing, first and foremost, is surviving the track. Finishing is not guaranteed. In MX you compete on time stamps with others. In Enduro you compete with the terrain.
They didn’t give us the price on that day Liam, I’m sure that info is available somewhere. Our vids are more about the ride, we don’t really do the review thing. Sorry!
I grew up on Kawasaki but I dumped them when they quit making 2 strokes. 4 strokes sound like a long fart and by comparison they are weak. Yamaha for me.
Not sure why all the Japanese enduros come without lights, so basically like the WR ride it fast and hard, need to test ride it 8k isn’t bad although I think a Beta might suit me more
Refreshing honesty without the usual ego crap. Keep it coming Chris
I'd love to see you super-moto a 450!
You spoke of a flywheel weight for the 450. What company did he get this from?

Man … you can really ride a dirt bike. I’m impressed 😮😊
Is it also good for trail riding?and how long can you ride before refueling?
I wish Kawasaki would come up with some hot lightweight Supermotos
They had the chance and then released the KLX230SM as if people weren't complaining about the lack of power from the KLX300SM

Do you think we will see Kawi put lights on these bikes someday? Great review!
Chris is always entertaining. Please do that orange bike review 2023 KTM 300 XC 2 stroke!!

I was just thinking the 450 with the light kit and make it a supermoto!
Hello great channel very nice ride ;)
Cool drive!
Chris can ride any types of bikes 🫡
Do they have 6 gears yet? xD
could they be daylight MOT'd? Any VIN numbers or V5's? 🤘😎

@@ddmn3648 I've got a poor attention span. Cheers mate
Tidy 👍🏴
Wish they would bring back the big 2 strokes. Kx 500 😢
Before you said it at the end I was thinking the 450 with supermoto wheels 😍
Price? Service intervals? Where’s the rest of the review?

@@BikeWorldTVshow Ah ok. Thanks for the reply.
So in other words, a 350cc 4-stroke enduro would be perfect. Something like a Beta 390 RR.
Why not or what about the beta 350???
Not bad for a Wall-E

These videos do not do anything for me. Ride the GB thing.
