HONDA CRF450R

HONDA CRF450R

Date: 2014-12-26

Matching an agile state-of-the-art chassis to big-hitting four-stroke power and torque, since its introduction in 2002 the Honda CRF450R has proven itself a complete, winning package for the professional Motocross racer while its reliability, longevity and build quality have also made it a popular machine for the amateur racer and hobby rider alike.

The 2013 model year CRF450R featured a brand new mass-centralised frame built around KYB air suspension USD front forks, a major evolution focused on assisting the rider to turn in super-fast lap times with less effort, on the ground and whilst airborne. It fought off stiff competition to become the best-selling open-class MX bike in Europe and, packed with a host of detail upgrades from HRC, the 2014 CRF450R builds on its abilities and success.

Delivering improved bottom-end torque, the CRF450R's 449cm3 single-cylinder engine benefits from new Dual Fuel injection timing and updated twin rear silencers while the clutch features lighter springs - with no loss of durability. These modifications are aimed at providing a direct, yet sensitive connection to the rear tyre enhancing rear wheel traction and drive plus the rider's feel for available grip. Work on the intake and exhaust ports by the CRF450R's development engineers has also produced improved over-rev and power at peak rpm.

The CRF450R is just one of the CRF models in the range available from Honda. Come and visit us at our showroom 15 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge, and we will help you choose the engine size most suited to you. For more information call 031 580 7900
