Who saw this coming... CRF450L

How does the bike take a fall? Not something you usually see in a magazine review but would be good to know.

Does that mean you could buy it right now?

Yea, up here in Canada we can buy them. Since Monday they have been on the show room floor. The local dealer (powerhouse) has sold one and it's been picked up. The other one is on the floor for $12,641.

At least this thread is back on track a bit.....unlike the one on here http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforu...he-Dual-Sport-Everyone%92s-Been-Wanting/page4 Where did the 30hp go? Ugggghhh!

With the exchange rate, that’s $9,731 USD.

I called Cool Springs again for a price, and they wanted $11,800 out the door. They added $400 for assembly and doubled their normal doc fees. I’ve purchased two new bikes from them before without these added fees, so I told them that I won’t be back.

Poor guy. Time to get off his Rekluse and go back to learning the basics.

Might be a one and done. The excitement starts at 7:40

That's what happens when you invite someone to a MC release based on their YT hit count.

The only additional cost to the $12,641 is tax (13%). It'd be worth it for you guys in the US to buy a Canadian bike if you live close to the boarder.

No doubt this bike will get moded and used on many future BDR rides.

No way eh? I heard that the Canadian version has only 24hp!

You have to at least give the guy credit for taking responsibility for his F-up. We all make mistakes from time to time but not everyone can own up to them. He certainly did not come across as trying to be a jackass.

...when you want to wheelie and you think it only makes 24hp but its really 40-something

"I wasn't prepared for the amount of power that engine has . . . This 450 has incredible power."

Well, that oughta put the power debate to an end.









"There's a lot of experience gleaned from this event for me . . . *sigh* I dunno . . . Be more careful, I guess? I don't know that I'll be invited back . . ."

I've watched the guy on and off for years. He does his share of dumb things catering to his audience and there are a lot of people that eat that up but he comes back to reality usually on the more serious topics that he takes the time to address calmly and seriously. That said, his other antics are what push his view count up and why these are the only two videos of his I've watched in almost 2 years probably. One must ration the consumption of crazy.

Give Abernathy,s in Union City,Tn. a call,ask for the sales manager about a price.They have no added fee's added.They are not in stock yet so don't bother talking to a salesperson as they are very busy,if it's not on their inventory sheet they won't know.If you can't reach the sales manager ask for David Younger-parts manager,he will find out for you,he is shops go to dirt bike guy also my son. Good luck.

Lol. The two videos posted here are the only two of his videos I have seen. I cannot comment on his other work. I do like his van though.

I will probably watch whatever he puts out about the bike early next week.

I will only watch his vids about the bike too then go back to not paying attention to him again, or maybe see if I can find any of his other bike vids but I'm afraid I'll find him mounting a gun safe in place of the milk^^ mosko bag. I just caught this one last night by chance right before I clicked on some british guy complaining about the verified 24hp from the Japan articles. He had previously done a reaction video to the the Vancouver's dealer walk around video... top notch stuff.

I thought Canadian bikes couldn’t be registered in the USA?
