2016 Honda CRF450R

Honda invited us out to Pala Raceway last week to try their updated 2016 CRF450R, but we were kept to secrecy until now. Here’s what we learned after a few test rides aboard the 2015 Honda CRF450R.

Very nice bike. I think the only ones that complain are the ones that cant ride very well yet!! Definitely up there.

2016 Honda CRF450R Dyno Test

[@deandodd4755]

it is around 51 hp on a real dyno....with some suspension work it is a great bike. let face it 90 % of riders can't take advantage of all of the hp.

[@Thom1883]

+Dean Dodd ahaha it's funny cause a KTM 350's faster

[@jamieshearing6240]

Sweet

[@Thom1883]

Shoulda bought a 2001 CRF450R, Probs the same pretty much

[@deandodd4755]

thom I have a 2016 ktm 350 sxf... it is high reving bike..but alot of quality issues. no torque.

[@taylorjaniski7574]

can we see some hp numbers?

[@troyhubbard50]

Why does that even matter? It's a dirtbike for christ's sake not a Corvette. Ride it as best as you can and you'll get it to go fast. You can get any bike to work

[@taylorjaniski7574]

your right, but Honda has never made any HP increase in the recent years

[@darrickmiller8543]

Lame bike had one it sucked!!!!!

[@dirtrider2323]

Very cool

[@dirtrider81]

does it have adjustable pull rods or would it be better to just uncork the turbines???
