for sure Pros have skills; these skills allow them to ride fast, keep momentum, but mainly to dare opening throttle. Easy to say for us, very hard to mentally do... I succeed a couple of time to keep very good speed, and all became like a flying carpet upon everything.. But crashes would become a real problem at fast speeds, far from anything... and back to ride in between two paces, not fast enough to fly upon and get front wheel fast turning gyroscopic stability, and not enough slow to put feet down and correct balance when needed Keeping speed and momentum THAT is the main problem, whatever the bike, the weight etc.... good video good ride, you di it ! kudos !!
Great video, I bought one on Saturday 2nd November and am looking forward to getting out and about. Hats off to you mate I would never have gone into that mud and water stuff!
Absolutely the right bike for the conditions. Maybe a different tyre though. Just imagine that soft mud on 250kg of GS…….. and more horsepower will just make it worse.
I feel like thats the sort of track your mid way down and like..I "Cant" turn around because I dont want to go back through the stuff I've been through but then it gets worse and worse
That's definitely hard work , but you've made it ....Bike seems to be good enough ( but on heavy side ) ...I just put deposit for one. Are you using stock tires ?
That was hard work, bet you were nackered. Thanks for sharing, I was sure that first long water crossing was going to stop you, did you do a lot of walking it out before doing them?

Looks like a very hard track. Well done on making it through!

That track would have ruined me a lot before it ruined you. Well done, you made it.
Is that standard exhaust ? Sounds wicked !
This is the best (true) test of MT450. And it has passed it with flying colors. CFMOTO did a great job with this bike!

Looks like a good bike. Angry exhust note. Im riding a 3rd gen klr650 and I would like something lighter sometimes. I wish there was a perfect bike.
Momentum is your friend .....
Get rid of the lower crash bars mate, they hookup every bit of shit. B&B Bashplate will keep you safe.
Was it ground clearance that was hanging you up on the first rut?
The camera never truely shows the depth of those holes.

thats what you get for having pink handguards
