2014 Honda CRF250R and CRF450R models unveiled

Honda unveils its 2014 CRF250R and CRF450R models…

2014 Honda CRF250R

Featuring an all-new engine and rolling chassis, the 2014 CRF250R has been designed specifically for ‘generation scrub’. The completely new frame is designed to lower the bike’s centre of gravity, incorporating a dual-muffler exhaust system to further sharpen handling by centralising the bike’s mass. Honda claims this makes the machine more nimble than before. A revised engine is claimed to add a load of mid-range punch, due to the additions of a new cylinder head, new piston, higher compression ratio, plus a new dual-timing fuel injection system, and a new transmission.

The 2014 CRF450R features a rolling chassis fully focused on meeting the needs of today’s generation of riders via an aluminum frame, along with an innovative suspension package. The CRF450R’s chassis has been focused solely on attaining a low centre of gravity along with class-leading mass centralisation. New for 2014 is the intake and exhaust ports, Dual-Timing fuel injection and redesigned muffler internals, claimed to boost torque output and increase throttle response. Also, in the suspension department, revised internals in the KYB PSF (Pneumatic Spring Fork) claim to yield improved damping response for improved bump performance.
