Though, almost everything is praised in the new KX 450F. There are also downside comments you can hear from bike reviewers. The most common from them are as follows: The suspension is too soft bigger riders, the stock renthal handle bars are easily bent and the loudness of the stock exhaust. Though, all of these are minimal, as they can easily be changed, you can consider the downs of you are considering to buy one.
However, in every review, the handling is said to be overwhelming; easy turning, lightweight riding, and slim body that can’t get caught with any of your garments.
