We lined up all seven of the new 2024 450 four-stroke dirt bikes for our 2024 MXA 450 Shootout video to provide a review of the pros and cons of each motorcycle. For 2024, only the GasGas and Kawasaki received major updates, so our main focus was to see how those bikes compare to the KTM, Husqvarna, Yamaha, Honda, and Suzuki models.

when the Beta and Triumph get added gonna be hard to fit them all in the thumbnail
Don’t forget Ducati
And TM
@@Dashriprock4 can’t believe I forgot TM
I have a 2023 TM. Lol
But those aren’t new. They are just too hard to get ahold of
@@benmartin6476 They are super cool bikes (TM) Wish they had more imported and more coverage. some really cool "works" type parts on them.Very unique!
@@benmartin6476and not sold everywhere
Love the new editing style of this shootout! Made it a lot more fun and interesting to watch
Exactly I was 100% engaged with the video
they made the rmz like a comedy relief. and what do you think was in that ratio rite, haha
Y’all are taking the production value to a whole different level great job
My dad has read every issue of this magazine since 1990 and was so stoked when I told him about their CZcams channel. I can’t believe he didn’t know about it 😂
How so?
Josh deserves a raise Jody. $$$ production is top of the heap! YZ is the bike again.
You think the presenter actually makes the video?
Awesome 450 shootout!!!
You guys are having too much fun!!!
Once again Excellent job Josh and MXA TEAM👍👍👍
after hearing the numbers its a joke to say suzuki is the heaviest and slowest, wtf. 56,9 hp to 57.2 kawasaki. and 241 lbs rmz and 239 kawasaki. guys thats nothing. if it had 48 hp you could say its slow but that sentence brings the wrong message at that lille differences
Technically the Suzuki is still slow, it hit 54.87 on the dyno last year without the “RM Army” edition Pro Circuit exhaust system. Also, Kawasaki was 234 last year and it jumped up to 239, it is also very heavy!
YZ450F looks spectacular
❤
I think they look hideous. Like a Frankenstein bike, but whatever works
@@Runk3lsmcdougal the good thing is there are plenty of choices and colors. Pick your poison!
@@ManuelTorres-qy8op SKDA got some badass graphics kits
Looks bad when it isn’t blue.
Привет из 90 х годов .
Needing to detune the YZ's low end power seems to explain just how potent it is when not detuned and why Tomac holeshotted so many races last year, the things a dang rocketship.
And his has substantially more power than a stock one :)
And they have detuned it once again for like the 3rd year straight. The YZ is a serious weapon.
I would love to see an extended interview with Jody. Great job as usual.
Mxa has always had the best shootout videos out of any magazine and you guys are even better this year
What’s wild is the RMZ450 still keeps up in torque and is only marginally off in horsepower. Realistically it isn’t THAT much heavier. That’s nuts. Seeing that some of the newer bikes have less torque is absolutely wild.
56,5 hp rmz. honda 56,6 and kawi 57,2. joke to say its the slowest. that sounds like it has 45 hp
It is still my pick
It weighs the same as the Kawasaki once you install the free PC exhaust.
@@jackbruce309👍🇦🇺
Anytime I see Jody it's a Fantastic Day 👋💪✌️ Appreciate ya MXA O'l G 😉
Well-produced MXA gang. The integrated marketing bits felt organic and made the viewing experience a joy! 👏👏👏
My 97 Harley Davidson fatboy only has 50-55 HP. These bikes are monsters.
I know it crazy, they are getting up close to the 500cc 2 stroke power. Thankfully not near as brutal.
Well shot shootout! Thanks for all the info. Stash is looking good Josh!
Pretty sure the "stach" is a joke... Well I hope so Lol
This shootout is dope
Please keep up these shootouts!!! They have always been my favorite thing to check out, back when they were just in the magazine. I've always favored Motocross Action tests over all others. Keep up the great work MXA!!🎉
Great video I appreciate it the comedy and lightheartedness along with the business side
Good to see Jody!!!
I loved reading his column all through High School in the 80’s!!!
Josh- another great 450 shootout, loved seeing Jody's guest appearance.
FIRE job, TN and crew
RM forever.
They’ll always have a special place in my heart, kickin myself for selling mine but I will definitely get another in the future
@@aydenrich262👍🇦🇺
Love the production value!!
Best in the industry. Thanks MXA
RMZ❤😍
Zook will always still sound the best
Especially with that pro circuit!
Looks the best too
@@corin6677 yeah its like a dart love the damn thing
I so love it, everything they do to the YZ450 is to mellow it down. Been a Yamaha guy for so many years and love seeing there bikes at the top.
Great Shootout Josh! As I watch all the bikes as a vet rider like a huge demographic I wonder how many people watching these Shootouts can actually use even have of these bikes potential in stock form?
I own a KTM but know i wouldn't be faster on any of these models Because of my conditioning and talent level so I would buy a Suzuki. No need to spend $2k more. Plus when I pull it out to ride 1 year later I won't have a dead battery. 😊
Yes sir!! My ole Suzuki has never left me stranded in the woods, can't say the same for my best friend who rides orange
@mototoad1242 I agree, I've raced suzukis since I was a kid and still own have a 2014 rmz450. I love my ktm but have had little problems. But not my Zuks!!!👍
Yes, it is way cheaper to buy, true. But must buyers fix shock and fork at least.
With other words: if you have your Suzuki dialed in you can buy the other ones easily.
Suzuki last few years it is mostly for the yellow lovers.
Good point with the battery!
No thanks, spend an extra grand for the YZ.
Josh, you went full youtuber in this video. Made it much more enjoyable in my opinion as these videos can get dry just listing specs and discussing performance characteristics.
Love it - Trevor is killing it! I'd take the Kawi!!
add next year and TM racing
So appreciative.
Suzukis engine package is 🔥. And super reliable, they just need to dial the suspension, and loose some weight and it would be so good. No estart just loose the weight dial the suspension
Great edit!
Thanks for the comparison. great video.
61hp on the husky??? Thats a ton of power for the average weekend warrior😂
It’s still very rideable and easy to handle because of the closed off air box
Average weekend warrior shouldn’t be on a 450
@@christophervillarreal8565 why not? It’s fun to have the extra power even if you don’t necessarily need it
@@codystrom8708 tell that to the guys who die every year accidentally grabbing a hand full of throttle
Best video ever
Suzuki...best for all motocross hobbyriders. Easy to service and keep on cause same parts fits many ears. No battery and electric starter problems. Enduro use then different thing...
I was going to say 3 bike a missing but the he made that phone call lol
A little bit late! RIDE ON
Best video editing from MXA so far.
Prominet Pirelli branding. Excellent tires. 👍👍
Poor Suzuki😂 I still love them but they gotta try harder, thankfully Kenny is waxing everyone but the Lawrence bros on a damn near stock RMZ, hopefully we get an update
Damn near stock bike??? You can't be serious! Yeah a 100k bike is damn near stock lol.
I wish they had the retro Kawasaki in this one
I would buy that
I had a brand new 1994 Yz250 and it appears they made this anniversary edition look like it did. So freaking sweet. White with purple. That 94 250 was the best YZ I ever owned for racing hare scrambles the bottom end power was awesome.
The Pros are that the dealerships have tons of them on the showroom floors. The Cons are that know one can afford them anymore.
They’re all lovely :)
It's all down to personal preference there all good and fast and have there pros and cons just pick the colour you like or make and enjoye there all great bikes
Great Video! Is that Jody?? RM-Z should get 1992 retro graphics while they're at it!
So the kawi made 57hp with rubber plug mounted? Or?
With triumph and Ducati and the other bikes added over the last few years this is the most anticipated shootout in a long long time
Hi guys. Loved the shootout. I have a 2023 KTM 450 and I would like to know what suspension settings etc you used, and if they can be used on my 450 KTM 2023? I am an older novice rider.
Cheers
I admit at first I didn't like the new Yamaha's seat, But after a few hrs I came to love it,
Ikr when you feel the power of that new yz450 you forget all about the seat
I just bought a crf450 due to no where having Yamaha. I was wondering if someone has one that has made adjustments maybe suspension wise to make it feel like my 2020 Yamaha did or any advice.
Love my 50th yz450 so happy with it
i've purchased all my side-by-side's at Temecula motorsports, best prices around
Thanks guys.
I hope that you guys do the factory bikes next 🤘🏻
Yeah face to face laptimes here, would be very great.
Definitely going with a YZ450 for when I build a new snowbike next year. Gotta see how much itll make with a velocity stack intake and tune
They are almost 60HP its insane.
Good job sir
I feel like the 24 KX450X with the smoother TQ curve might be a great XC/woods bike, although the weight doesn't really support that.
I have the new KX450X model and I absolutely love it. The lack of power is painfully overstated. It's fast, very fast, it pulls like a freight train when you get it going. And I'm coming from my 22 450SR. The power hits different its much smoother and linear, also the bike is amazingly stable on the brakes and I find myself standing through so many more turns than I would on my SR.
1.7 fuel tank? No skid plate? No o-ring chain? X model doesn't offer much more than the F.
@reedgalbraith6508 it has an o ring chain, and 18 inch rear as well as some ecu tuning it seems. They definitely could have done better but its still the best bike Ive ever ridden
@@reedgalbraith6508 Yeah I just saw the first reviews of the X and realized they did essentially nothing more than the F on an 18" rear with softer valving...and they want $10700 for it. No way, much better options
@@OtisFlint I wanted a Kawi.. but Yamaha FX for me..
The 23 and 24 yz hasn’t changed has it ? Same same ?
And i will STILL buy a badass new RM-Z 450 as it still handles the best.
I got a 2016 rmz 450 i think its fine tbh left the stock pipe on it cause the power isnt radical ya know it runs with anything..
Faltou a Beta 450 e a thump 250?
Suzuki Trying to make boys into men with that kick start. I like it. Bringing back the white on Yamaha loving it plus the throwback decals. Honda always been my go to for 2 stroke 03 Cr 250R was great stock just had to adjust jetting screw and suspension was a little stiff in the front. 07 CR 250R was probably the last 2 stroke Honda I ever rode💯. Husky’s growing up have always been insane for power. Love the CRF’s all other not to much experience with them
Did the KX go backwards???
Hoping that you can get a Triumph in your 250 shootout😊
There’s so many 450’s now. I remember when there was only 4 and some orange thing John Dowd rode that was a 520.
Hanging for the triumph it’s a nice looking bike be good to see how it stacks up
That white and pink look of the YZ in crispy
YZ ❤MX 2024
What about the KOVE 450 MX ?
14:55 Love it! The starting fields in Germany are often around 50% orange like they used to be yellow 40 years ago and we often say pumpkin cup.
Would really like to test the orange and blue at one day same track to compare. My both favorites are 1 + 2 place, nice.
It really drives me nuts to check the austrian spokes and can't believe after years, KTM can't fix that. How many years you guys are telling us to check them frequently? Com'on Mr. Pierer, we have the technology!
Air forks: 3 pounds is really a number. As a (slow ;-) ) non pro self wrenching pay own bills vet rider (npswpobvr) chasing every minute between earning money, training, racing, wrenching, sleeping, driving highways and some call it family I really dislike it to have an extra thing to do so often.
Which one is the most reliable 450 4-stroke?
Dang we gotta wait til March to see the graphs in the article??
Is this an advertisement of all the aftermarket parts that I should put on the Yamaha. Where would I find an ad for all these parts? Wait, I found them on the pages of motocross action magazine.
The KX air filter is a worrying issue. Yes looks cool. But I feel it's a nit as good as they say. I'm a KX fan and look forward to the 2025 KX250. But if the don't fix that airfilter then I'll stay with my 2021 kx250
Crazy thing about Suzuki in Canada is their MSRP is about the same as the other bikes...
Now, we need to throw in the Beta, Triumph and Ducati
Why did you not do beta? Especially now that they are finally supercross.
Why are you testing stock bikes in their stock form but putting different tires on it
Looks like the Yamaha's new graphics are boldest!
I prefer the yellow and black , just can't do pink .
SUP JODY!!!!
One track!
💚
Which one is your favorite ? If you would buy one of them now . Thanks
I love suzuki rmz
I’m 15 and I wanna get the kx450sr it looks nice and seems like it rides nice
Sr is useless.
I am not so sure, maybe I am just getting old.
Long live the Bazzer!
include the stark varg
14:48 I can see the force! 👍
Such a bummer to see the GasGas going backwards...
Why didn’t not wait for the Beta? It’s coming this month
Because it’s trash
@@chrisvillarreal2752 you all ready own on that has not been released??
@@kennedyracing7527 because they’re all trash 🤡
@@chrisvillarreal2752you seem pretty confident, do you even own a bike? Being that this shoot out is basically not a true comparison of all manufacturers not including,Sherco,TM, Beta, Triumph and Rieju just to name a few . RIDE ON
@@racerunnermx I own them all including those and gpx no koves yet but maybe if I get bored and want to try out more garbage
Please race the TF250X at a national! So now that the cat is out the bag. I was told about the KTM inspiration two month ago.
They should mention that when you buy a Husqvarna it comes with 2 air box covers, 1 closed and 1 with the holes for more air flow which makes the bike much better.
these bikes should come with a60 wheel sets for as much as they cost they should have mud fling rims included. I do love the Yamaha model it is excellent and it reminds me of the very first bike my father bought me as a kid. the color theme is awesome. old school dude. I would buy the Suzuki I prefer a kick start bike. and a free muffler header and all minus 2lbs . your gonna mess with suspension no matter what bike you get every time you ride. I'd buy the Suzuki and it's cheaper.
@8:45 sec. Is that a fig tree in the background?
where is the demso 450 ducati
blu cru back to back
KAWASAKI ❤
