at 6:30 you say your kid has been riding a stock honda for a while.. soooooo of course he will have faster lap times and feel more at home on the honda... just my 2 cents
I could be biased but I felt like he looked more comfortable and faster on the kawi. Could be because he claimed he had to ride it more aggressive but either way I hope he does good on whatever he chooses to ride. Great video
Have both 21 with just exhaust. They nail cornering characteristics but without ignition/gas/head work the honda isn’t even close power-wise(mid top or high). Still a fun bike to ride.
the kawi 250f is the most unreal bike i’ve ever ridden it’s hard to find a stock bike that works for my 5’6 130 pound ass and that bike literally does everything i want it to effortlessly
I've been partial to kawi since the mid 90s pc days. It is hard to beat the quality of a Honda tho. My 954rr was a dream to ride, bought a 08 crf 450,rode nice... nice bike. But I'm keeping my 02 kx, maybe I was brainwashed by all of those championships. And the 450 didn't like 927.
@@aaronanderson7619 I hear ya & good experience! Thanks for sharing. Im looking @ Yamaha 250F too..& the Euro bikes always intrigue me.

People got that stimulus check and want to get outside. So bikes are selling like crazy. I was recently looking for a nice used bike and had a hard time finding one. It took almost 3 months of searching to find a clean low hour bike for a reasonable price.
Welcome to socialism. I could not find a new YZ250 2-stroke in Michigan about 5 months back, and bought a slightly used 2019 YZ250, (same bike), the last on on a showroom floor in the state. I never thought I would have a hard time finding a new bike at a dealership. Welcome to socialism.
Why not the KTM or Husky? Would either of those give you Honda-like cornering with better bottom-to-mid right off the showroom floor? Plus Yami-like mobile app tuneability. Agree he looked smoother and more comfortable on the Honda. Put him on just the Kwai for 4 weeks of serious practice & retest. Best of luck to him & you guys!
I listened to the podcast today twice while driving,So I’m very curious if?? You changed the map on the Kawi to get close to each other.Would he like it more???Then for me? Which bike has less engine breaking???
With enough practice, anybody can get fast when there are no bumps on the track. There were more bumps in the 60's with 3" of suspension travel. Just give a road race bike 8" of travel and some knobbies, and it should be competitive today.
Lowered my 2019 YZ250 2-stroke a bit because they are too tall today. You guys go for that outside berm. I will take the flat inside line and push you off the track.
the best mod would be to buy a Yamaha. I currently own a CRF250 and its insanely slow handles weird the clutch basket has exploded twice with 22 hours on the bike and Honda said sorry. Yamaha will be my next bike
Best mod bike is a Honda lmao. Yamaha is a wide ass bike that turns like a boat. It's got good suspension and a strong motor but that's it really. It feels huge and feels heavy too. Keep your Honda and mod it chief it's a better bike. I love Yamaha too so this ain't coming from some biased mofo.
Wondering the same. I am a 2-stroke guy, but usually strong bottom end makes a bike easier to ride for most people. Get the kid a 125 2-stroke. He will like it. :)
My two favorite bikes, they both look sick. Aden is lookin pretty damn good and smooth
He looks a lot smoother on the Honda
Thats because its slower.
@@evanjohnson5480 it’s about the rider the Honda has more torq and horsepower idk what would make it “slower”😂
@@kayaumar6525 I think you have something wrong the 2021 kx250 has class leading horsepower
@@fullmonkey3220 no it does not lmao
@@LolliWANG505 Kawasaki might not have the most but Honda is the bottom of the bucket for both torque and hp.
The mod bike tests are sick!
Crazy how much of a difference those mods made to the Honda. Good review 👍👍. Good luck aiden
Love my Honda 250 handles and corners like a beast

Crazy to watch him mature bike skill wise. Kid is so smooth and his cornering is rad👏🏻👏🏻
I could be biased but I felt like he looked more comfortable and faster on the kawi. Could be because he claimed he had to ride it more aggressive but either way I hope he does good on whatever he chooses to ride. Great video
At 11:45 he loses his number plate on the kawi
You do not NEED mods to race dirtbikes in competition, besides that great video!

Please do a 2021 kx450 VS 2021 ktm 450 sxf
The kid has awesome technique 👌🏻

Do you think a 5ft 2 90lb 13 yr old can control it ?
I’m an inch taller and same weight and I’ll agree w this. I felt so at home my first day and I owned a 2020 Yz250 previously.

@@EarthSurferUSA at least we still have the luxury of searching for a bike. If biden ends up in the Whitehouse we will be searching for bread lines.
Does the honda have the rekluse torque drive clutch pack in it ?

Awsome test man
Me likey the blu cru.
How’s the 2021 Yamaha yz250 in comparison to the KX and CRF?
shots everytime keefer says "jamie at twisted..."
Trying to get us drunk lol?

Stay on the throttle a bit for less engine braking.
How is Aden a better tester then 95% of the guys Swap has testing their bikes 🤯🤯🤯
Does the Kawi have the throttle on the left side? He kept revving with his left arm on jump landings.
No
Looked much more comfortable on the Honda
My son may as well be sitting on the handlebars. Too funny. We are working on that!!!!😂
I wish you didn’t over emphasize his age, kid rips.
Great video

I've always wanted to paddle up a liter bike and show up to the drags in pismo.... but riding it from camp to the back might be a little hairy.
Look good on that Honda, good luck
Test the new 2022 Honda CRF250RX it looks like the one to beat now.
Who is fast? The 14 yld or the 43?
14
@@adenkeefer1977 atta boy. Take care out there young man, happy new year.
He kept messing up the corners on the Kawi
Honda all day
Hate to say it but he seems better on the KX250F
Pretty sure it doesn’t matter, he looks fast on both
This kid can scoot!
Foregoing the comment "we get stuff you can't " He looks better on the Honda.
Let him test a KTM or Husky.
Great bikes but Kawi looks better but Honda runs really good

On the Yamaha it's the Engine that's gonna blow 😂
Thanks for these vids. I asked and it probably wasn’t for me but thanks anyway!
For the love of all that is holy! Don't ever call this bike a KX, it's a KXF!!!!
Kawi stopped calling them KXF like 3 years ago though
Too much bottom end? WTF!

Kawasaki looks better
Lite mods lol using all the guys pros use
No major surgery = light mods.
Kawi for sure, Honda’s are slowwwww
No contest the Honda is heavier than a 450 and has the shittiest motor in years. 2018+ CRF250 is shit
I would prefer him on a cr or kx 125 but at least he rides
