350 vs. 450??? || Moto Academy Bike Reviews Featuring Tyler Stepek

hello albert reporting for duty and the bug catcher how's it going man he hasn't had an appearance in a while in one of these videos actually last time you made an appearance you blew up at 125. yep yep last year so we're out at tomahawk at max i'm going to throw this out there right off the bat just to protect my dignity tyler is so ridiculously fast on this track that please disregard how much faster his lap times will be than mine i swear that if tomak came here tyler would be tonight no way no way okay telemach's a bad example yeah you'd be close you he could get second to tone mac let's put it out of a two-man race tyler's been killing it this outdoor season um got a top you got 16 got a bunch of top 20s doing better than i ever did in outdoors what we're going to do this is a super requested video we have a brand new 2022 husky 350. we're gonna compare it to tyler this is your race bike right so this is a 2021 2020 2020 cowie 450 and what do you have done uh suspension rec loose and a pipe uh uh torque driver clues right yeah tour drive and we're running good gas in it so good gas that those are a-kit forks right yeah are they bigger actually bigger forks no they're not they're just kyb cowie comes with a kit internals yeah all that stuff you got a cool like kind of factory looking shifter and some foot pegs and some good titanium foot pegs um gripper seat that's about the tires and good tires uh stock sprocket oh i went to a 49. oh you did went one down yeah wow okay so i mean i say not a whole lot done but that's a good amount of stuff the suspension is a big difference i'm very curious to fuel that a kit suspension versus the stock suspension on this husky we'll both ride them one lap each everyone knows the rules we'll get our lap times and then we'll get our feedback after we ride them um what do you want to ride yours first log a lap with my gopro on sure yeah okay okay [Applause] hmm [Music] hmm um [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] let's see it that lap went really quick by the way this is weird [Music] [Music] hmm [Music] [Music] um [Music] so okay let's hear it my suspension is definitely better okay oh but i like the motor on this a lot better really even though it's it's a 350 right yeah isn't it's just so smooth and towards like the rev limiter it starts to get like it keeps pulling so the cali kind of gets like it runs out what would anything else stick out as being really good or really bad what about the brakes the brakes are so difficult well the brakes are way better amazing right did you notice the wing in the seat don't you like no but it was nice right i probably yeah yeah but yeah i'm definitely getting a ktm husky next really yeah do you think you were just now faster on this or faster on that probably on that one because i made a few mistakes on this bike i overshot a couple things uh do you think that you could be competitive racing a 450 outdoor on that bike yeah wow definitely maybe to start it might might get me because i'm not the best starter when you're racing you could probably ride that thing hardly oh yeah because it kind of feels like a 250 but it pulls a lot more this is how this works tyler i almost forgot how my own freaking videos were you gotta you gotta rate them one to ten so your cali 450 one to ten off top of your head what do you give it an eight okay brakes are pretty shot on it okay i love my back brakes okay uh the 2022 husky 350. other than the suspension like but that's easily fixable like eight or nine eight or nine you got to give me you got to be precise eight points 8.5 wow we're gonna go a little better okay and he yeah when i when i say one lap everyone knows the rules i never just do one lap he legitimately just did one lap so he got one lap ever on that bike other than like the levers like if i set this up to like my ball like the bars it'd be even better yeah that's zero setup he hopped on it wrote it for one lap pretty much at speed without even getting warmed up back suspension versus a kit suspension and that one's still ranked higher that's pretty impressive okay um i'm gonna go do one lap each if we could put that suspension don't make fun of my lap times compared to his oh he we were sitting here talking and he got back so quick after his time he's going to be 10 seconds a lot faster i found more 20 20 calorie 450. one lap in those rules are you going to go out living what are you going to go out with me yeah [Music] everybody watches videos [Applause] [Music] um [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] i love eating roost all right bat how slow did it feel like i was going you're a lot slower on the cali a lot slower on the couch oh yeah you made a lot more mistakes oh see i felt the opposite i'm pumping up the wazoo two left wonder whoa i was also getting pressure from the back i would have liked to ease in and maybe go a little slower i was riding a little harder than i wanted to he's probably still all of six to eight seconds a lot faster would be my guess but who knows kylie 450 wrote that one first things i noticed rides ever so slightly i know i gotta add more sag barely but that is maybe the best fork i've ever felt dude it's nice you could plow through anything as fast as possible and you can just go right through it and you can change like the spring with the air it doesn't feel rigid at all it feels like mush it just goes through everything back end accelerating felt great i mean that suspension is amazing um his steering stem is wicked tight which i actually liked i really liked that bike and your bike fell freaking fast but your bikes never feel fast for cowie 450 especially compared to like riding mine i feel like uh that's that thing's good i'm gonna give it a eight nine um the husky i got on this one second he says i was faster on it i probably was i guess but the fork when you compare it to that yes it's not as good it doesn't have as much hold up but for stock suspension you've got to admit this is very good yeah okay oh wait no this isn't stock it's valve it's got factory connection suspension um nowhere near the hold up on this compared to that one but then again that's that that's a kit so that's very those are very expensive clips the difference it feels like these are more hollow yeah right so it it's still plush but you can feel it when it kind of gives way those never reach that point yours are just like and it never ends right so you could hit the biggest bumps ever which there's some big bumps out there already i don't know if gopro would do justice and it never feels like it's blowing through the stroke it is amazing i like the chassis of this bike better i think that's what i like it's super narrow it feels amazing the bars like it feels flickable i like the way it turns like it's so easy to turn where that one feels like a tank compared to this one trying to i apologize that my scale is all over the place i've got some complaints from some people on in my inner circle they're saying my ranking is all over the place mackenzie and ross are a little bit mad that i ranked his bike so low my scale is all over the place so i'm trying the more i do this the more i'll i'll hone in on on my scores but off the top of the dome right now i'm going to give it a 9 4. thanks tyler steppick he's going to get a two-digit number next year i don't know i'm gonna have him on team cat and zero we got to get this guy in supercross he's got to score two more points at many o's he'll get his super cross points watch out for him on tv they call him stephik it's pronounced epic so make sure we send grant langston a message send jason weigan a message let them know they got to pay attention to this guy he's very fast way faster than i ever was outdoors and we'll make him just as fast as super crosstalk there you have it 2020 kowi 450 versus the husky 350. guys i recommend if you can get a 350 or over 450 all day long the average rider like should not be on a 450 get a 350 your perfect amount of power trust me on that one thank you guys for watching subscribe to the moto academy uh
