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.

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

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"

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.
