Bikes: 2017 Honda CRF450R
The 2017 Honda CRF450R; it looks different, feels different and delivers a whole new rider experience. It’s always been a machine that offers total control, together with the durability and longevity that Honda is long famed for.
The 2017 model is reimagined, it’s the first ‘from the ground-up’ redesign of the CRF450R for eight years and packs a powered-up HRC designed engine with an 11% overall power boost and stronger torque right through the rev range.
It gets an all-new seventh generation aluminium frame with new chassis geometry, lower centre of gravity and a titanium fuel tank making it lighter and more compact.
The new CRF450R is fitted with factory driven 49mm Showa USD coil spring front forks, developed from a version supplied to MX race teams.
The body is more compact with new plastics that feature film insert graphics for optimum scratch resistance and a bolder effect.
For the very first time, an electric-start kit is available on the CRF450R. Kit specification and local availability will be announced later.
Honda Australia has announced a MLP (manufacturers list price) of $11,999 with bikes due in dealers in December.
