It's interesting riding the 450SS and NK back to back with new Kawasaki Ninja 500 and Z500. The CFs feel more premium and have less vibration. They ride even better when stock tires are changed.
As a rider who has rode a Duke 390 and rides a 450 NK, I can confidently say that the NK is a more refind motorcycle. 😁 I also have a Duke 125 atm for city riding and it is heaps of fun. The 390 obviously has more power but the vibrations and the 'KTM stuff' (small annoying problems) are getting to you pretty fast. The vibrations on the Duke 390 will make it feel like a vibrator tbh, espacially on highway speeds.
100% All they did for the z500 is lengthen the stroke on that 180° lawn mower engine. This is such a good bike but I just did some twisties on a brand new mt09 and it made me miss my XSR. I'd be very tempted to trade this in for the 1250 NK as soon as it releases haha
@@TheCoolestCourier exactly! Going along a straight road flat out is no fun! It’s the corners that bring the thrills and spills😉 Loving your bike more & more! Stop teasing me!
It's very light and toy like. Like a supermoto. It's extremely fun on tight roads and it sounds great. The new XSR and MTO9 platform is my favorite. I've never ridden anything More fun So I do like those bikes better. But for this category the NK I think is far beyond the rest

What are your thoughts about the new KTM Duke 390? Do you think it will be better than your motorcycle? 😮

Really cool video, what is the top speed on the 450NK?
I think it's 115 but realistically it feels like 105
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yo Jimmy, how come I see some of these bikes with a different layout on the speedo? It looks more rounded, like if you switch rider modes on a bike.
You can switch what your cluster looks like in the settings
@@TheCoolestCourier Ahh ok, thanks.
Z500 is waving ur smoke and dust
100%

power of z500 didn't increase much, still the faster bike though.
@@TheCoolestCourier or you could wait for cfmoto's tripple prolly next year if not 2026
You crazy dude! Easy to chase the big bikes with slow riders🤙
Or If the road is super tight. Little bikes shine!

@@stevesanelli90 Thanks! The sound has been keeping me entertained haha
How do you like that bike in comparison to the xsr?
