Bike: 2017 Honda CRF450R?

Photos have been leaked from the All Japan MX National Championship series in Kobe, Japan, this week of what appears to be a 2017 Honda CRF450R prototype, ridden by the 10-time Japanese champ, Akira Narita.

The new machine looks to hold some pretty impressive improvements over the current Honda CRF450R model, including an electric start. Apparently it’s going to make use of a twin-cam engine design, too, although images leaked would make it appear as though that isn’t the case.
