A little porky too for a state of the art MX bike, could stand to lose about 20 pounds.

Very true and to add to that, I would be worried about the lop-sized effect of 2 different front forks on the turning "feel" as well as future replacements.Wrider wrote:I like the new tech, but if a seal blows you're done... lol

It's just revised old tech. My Montessa 349 had front forks that we pumped with air.
For that reason alone = uncool

I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R

Re: 2013 Kawasaki KX450F: Voted Awesome
A few more votes just came in as I was typing this so they will be included in the below results. I found it interesting that the KX450F really didn't generate the big discussion I thought it would, but I am not surprised as I figure that many of us haven't really rode a modern dirt bike (I haven't myself) and it's hard to comment on it because of this. What do you think? What percentage of riders do you think have ever rode a dirt bike?
Ok, now for the results!
Your Coolness Factor of the 2013 Kawasaki KX450F is...
Awesome 45%
Cool 36%
Uncool 9%
Fail 9%
Next bike is now up, can you guess what is it with this manufacturers statement?
"#1 Selling Sportbike in the U.S. Offers Superior Performance"

Re: 2013 Kawasaki KX450F: Voted Awesome
I grew up riding dirt bikes and I voted Awesome (late). I think it is an amazing bike but if I were buying a new dirt bike I would get something cheaper and easier to maintain.
