We break down the 2012 big bikes at Cahuilla Creek for this year's Racer X Tested 2012 450F shootout(and the KTM 350 SX-F). This year we decided to do things a little differently by letting all the test riders speak their mind about the bikes on camera, as opposed to having you read their lengthy reviews. Sit back, relax, and hear what David Pingree, Ron Lechien, Grant Langston, Micky Dymond, and Billy Laninovich have to say about the new bikes.

That Yami looked like a chopper when Ping was riding it. haha The bars looked like they were raised up so much.
nice vid guys
No one would pay to see you either Ron.
...and thank's for supporting the motocross "hillbilly" stigma with your homophobia.
No Huskys in this shootout... pffttttt!!!
Hey Ping!! I am not sure if you were wearing an open face or not but you still have some dirt around your mouth!! LOL
hmmm nothing in this video says "im a hillbilly motocrosser" or "i hate homo's" wtf 356???
hahah the non rainbow section....
Dirt scooters and rednecks go hand and hand dude, you didnt know when you signed up?
After watching these reviews and watching RV completely distroy the comp in Vegas I would be worried if riding another brand... Remember he rode the 2011 the entire 2010 SX season and still won. The only hope the other riders have is if JS7 takes him out in typical JS style!
Typical JS style? You, sir, are an idiot. I would love to see you attempt to hit even one of the jumps on a SX track. Clearly, you haven't got a clue as to the amount of talent these guys have.
Cool down guys, it's about the bikes not the factory riders. As a RM-Z450 owner i'mglad to see the Suzuki being one of the favorites cuz i really like mine. I had the chance to ride a '12 CRF450 2 weeks ago, fine bike but i wasnt amazed by it to the point of changing my Zook, and it's an 08!! I immagine that if i try an '12 RM-Z i might be in N.B.A.S. (new bike aquisition syndrome) see ya at the track!!
hey 356, i'd pay to see Ron , He's a legend.
At least theres a few of us left that think being gay is WRONG
Take your mates love handle out your ass and go buy a crf450 and have some fun.
Ron had the most true to what your looking for review. He told about the power and how he felt it not what the brands want to hear.
Man, if Kawi and Suzuki came with electric start, i'm not sure we would see many other colors at the local tracks. And props to Lano, hope that guy kills it in SX this year. BTW, Lechein is freaking awesome, and as far as I know this is America, we have a right to not be comfortable around butt huggers.
Since 356 had to throw the guilt PC BS, think about this, if everyone was gay, there would be no procreation, hmm, therefore it follows it must be wrong! And these tests are a bunch of horse shit, some of these bikes don't change in the areas the riders are saying they see a difference from the previous year! ha..and not once do they mention reliability which matters to some of us of non pros.
am i missing something is ron gay or does he write gays off? suzuki kawi and honda a step above the rest
Well put Ron!
I'd rather pay to watch hillbilly motocross racers than a gay musician or gay anything for that matter.
