I appreciate all the information! I started on a Honda years ago then rode Yamaha for most of my life. Due to the issues Yamaha is having with new bikes that I’ve seen and heard from family and buddies, I’m getting away from them. I’m really looking into a huskqvarna FC350 or 450. But Honda has always had a soft spot in my heart lol. I’ve never owned a husky but looking like I might within a few weeks!

I'm sure this is old knowledge, but I would guess that Honda's "hyper-fast", aggressive power delivery was a result of all those years where the CRF450 powerband was so anemic and they got tired of the reviews saying as much. Then they went overboard with their response now they have dialed it back just a little. Pure guessing on my part but it sure seems logical.

I’ve rode many different brands at a pro level here’s my opinion. Honda is the best handling chassis Yamaha has the best engine since I like a torquey engine kawi is good at everything but not great At anything Suzuki handles okay but to little flex for me and slow Ktm/husky/gas gas are my least favorite bike I’ve ever rode they have a very empty feeling on the front end and I’ve rode them with 52’s 48 cones, and kyb forks with many different triple clamps and they never have that tire meeting the ground feeling on the front a Honda is best at that feeling they feel connected to the ground definitely my favorite brand so having said that 100% they pay these media companies I rank Ktm above Suzuki but that’s it was not a fan of them whatsoever
