2019 Husqvarna FC/TC First Impression Notes

I had the pleasure of getting invited to ride five new 2019 Husqvarna motorcycles (TC125, TC250, FC250, FC350, FC450) at the “Baker Factory” in Florida last week. Husqvarna held their 2019 world motocross introduction at Aldon’s lovely facility and let me tell you it is immaculate. The weather was hot and humid, but the track…

2019 Kawasaki KX450 First Impression

Kawasaki has a brand new KX450 without the “F” people! Who needs more “F” in this world anyway?! Seriously though, Kawasaki has a brand new 450 and it is probably the most anticipated motocross machine of 2019. I headed down to Pala, California last Tuesday night to attend the presentation that Kawasaki had for the…

2019 KTM 250/350 SX-F First Impression

As most of you know I choose my "core" evaluators wisely here at Keefer Inc. I don't just hire fast dudes that rip. They have to first have a good heart, be kind, haul ass, be able to joke around, be able to write, be able to evaluate, have a firm handshake, feel things on a…

2018 Yamaha YZ250F Worn In, Not Worn Out

As my time with the 2018 Yamaha YZ250F comes to an end, I make no bones about it being my favorite 250F of all the 2018 models. Kris gave me this bike as my long term moto test bike, and in doing so has forced me to branch off from my off-road roots more than…

She's A Beaut Clark! A D.I.D. DirtStar ST-X rim is laced up to a Dubya Talon Ultralight rear hub. The front hub is a stock unit that is polished. Brayton likes the way the stock hub feels for cornering. Stock foot peg placement, a set of titanium Pro Pegs and a Ride Engineering brake clevis. This is the same Yoshimura…

Living With The 2016 Oset 20.0 Racing Electric Trials Bike

I purchased a 2016 Oset 20.0 48v electric trials bike two years ago for Aden (my son) to hone his skills on around the house. Little did I know how much fun one of these suckers would be, not only for him, but for me as well. In those two years the Oset 20.0 has…

2018 Yamaha YZ65 First Impression

On Monday I had the chance to go to Yamaha’s new 2018 YZ65 introduction. As you all know I am a big believer of “Keeping kids On Dirt Bikes” and Yamaha seems to be investing in that ideology as well. Yamaha hasn’t had a 65 in their lineup since 1983 and it’s nice to see…

2018 Kawasaki KX450F Notes

I have put an ample amount of time on the 2018 Kawasaki KX450F and wanted to get you some information just in case you didn't get to listen to the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Keefer Tested 2018 KX450F Podcast. Kawasaki focused its energy and R&D money on the KX250F in 2018, but you green lovers don’t be…

2018 Yamaha YZ450FX VS. 2018 Honda CRF450RX

Sometimes deciding between a bike can be a difficult thing to do. We get a ton of emails on which direction you all should go when deciding on either a 2018 Honda CRF450RX or a Yamaha YZ450FX. Since I am the resident off-road test rider here at Keefer Inc. I wanted to take both of…
