2023 Honda CRF450R: Inside Look

[@chetmanley7209]

Start producing two strokes again and I'll buy one.

[@freddunbar]

Exactly, 30+ years of success was due to 2-strokes.

[@JohnBrown-km1by]

Honda 4 strokes suck. Never really been a fan of the honda mx bikes. Loved the air cooled hondas. Absolute bulletproof engines. Yami all the way

[@charleshowgate2166]

Same I’ll buy one.

[@edoardogabanella153]

I’d buy more than one haha i wish they do

[@YA-ee9zf]

Thanks to Elon musk we won’t be able even get proper 4 strokes if he keeps on pushing his propaganda with all those cropt crypto currency money laundering scams

[@mxengineer1]

Nice throwback to the original Elsinore and the HRC Honda's of the 80's....love the gold rims and blue seat!

[@derrickzenner9300]

I like it

[@BMBradyy]

We have to see one on the channel

[@mxengineer1]

@@BMBradyy That's the plan!

[@budsteppin99]

I had a 2015 crf250 with the same exact throwback kit on it. It's like Rick Johnson and Bailey and Omara rode back in the 80s... I love the classics it's what made racing into what it is today and I was born in the 90s lol. I want a new 450 now I'm not too keen on the gold wheels but I'd get some all black anodized rims anyway lol

[@VincentAmbrosioSalad]

Bring back the 2stroke

[@jaysan7316]

Happy Anniversary Honda ‼️ ❤️

[@wakastars2719]

with the 50th anniversary you guys should’ve brought back 2 strokes with that style

[@MotoXplor]

FINALLY! Blue seat and gold rims are back and they look awesome! When will black rims ever go away?

[@Josephbustamante641]

never

[@Lightnin42]

Love the 80’s look 👀

[@DerekHallman]

LOVE the look with the gold wheels

[@jdc8352]

That anniversary edition looks sooooo SICK!!! It's a bummer I'm retired from moto and all I do is look at watch. My heart still belongs to dirt scooters and HRC ❤️

[@TGC1023]

Love the blue seat throwback. Only missing the Red, White and blue wing.

[@northerntoyota7584]

I agree, a throwback Honda wing would complete the look

[@andysmith8295]

it is almost like Honda doesnt want to revive that wing... crazy isn't it.

[@trevorp2231]

Should have brought back the CR 250 2stroke and called it an M and thrown every new tech at it for 50 years. Fuel injection, hydraulic clutch, launch, maybe even electronic suspension.

[@crffilmz7300]

I love that looks like the 84-87 cr125,250 and 500s with the gold rims and blue seat and all

[@mikedrury2748]

Love Honda still got a 01 cr 250,but have you noticed how many titles you have not won since getting rid of 2 strokes?

[@LolliWANG505]

Don't blame the bikes dude. Honda has made very good four stroke mx bikes for years. It is only the riders to blame for them not getting titles.

[@sam_s_]

I have an 01 CR250 as well. It is an amazing engine. I rode it stock for years. Then I had it ported and the head milled by Pro Circuit and it was insanely fast. Then I had it bored out to 265cc and had more port work done. Not is is slower and less fun to ride. I need to by a new cylinder and send it to Pro Circuit.

[@mikedrury2748]

@@LolliWANG505 I know they still make good bike,but look at the #s they dominated 2 stroke racing. Hell roczen won straight rythem couple years ago on an 06 against new ktms. Honda should at least make 60s or 80s missing out on young riders

[@nicolarondelli9301]

@@LolliWANG505 you’re right man, Sexton and Roczen in supercross are leading, even Jett. And Gajser too here in Europe is kicking ass for years. But yeah they’ve could done better

That’s some thing I didn’t notice you’re right Honda using 83-86 colors scheme

[@Train421]

Would of been sweet to see a 2023 CR250

[@eaglemx45]

Would be sweet if someone would blow there 450 up so I can get it cheap and swap my 01’ engine 🤟 they for sure need to make a 2 stroke.

[@okaydudes]

That bike looks gooood. But get me a cr250 2 stroke with all that good 450 stuff

[@DAVE_WHITE]

KTM is kicking your ass with the 2 strokes WAKE UP bring back the two stroke

[@h20mxracer222]

My brother back in '86 bought a brand new CR250 and bought me a new CR80 at the same time. I've been hooked on MX ever since. Amazing how technology has changed.

[@t.s.racing]

Thank you HONDA, I owe my entire career to you folks. I was 1 of the first Pro Technicians in the world. I remember all the original Elsinore models, and the red R models as well. I recently purchased a CR-V All wheel drive for my daily driver auto. I might build and race Harley and Suzuki now, but I will ALWAYS be a Honda fan. T.S. RACING

Would love to see Kaplan America get his hands on that bike with the heritage colours!!!

[@moosatoor4247]

If not buy a custom wheels set from Dubya and get the gold wheels

[@elcucuygarage]

I believe those wheels are roughly 2 grand thru DUBYA.

[@olivierraynal8181]

Same thing for me 🤞🤞

[@rustyshackleford3320]

Did u get ur 250r?

[@WreckedRevival]

Just got done doing a partial restoration on the CR Elsinore's cousin a street legal 76' MR175 Elsinore with 350 miles on the odometer, they are some pretty cool old bikes! The spare spark plug in the head was a neat feature for those bikes.

[@musamusa2961]

Thank God for showing me that I will buy one for myself

[@sludge86]

“Also updated - the price. We are happy to say that we have reached the $15,000/ bike mark, which is a milestone for Honda. Future plans for Honda include reaching the golden $20,000 mark.”

[@welderlogic1806]

And their "special edition" bikes are barely able to compete with the competitors standard bikes. I'd get a European bike or a Yamaha before I would drop money on a Honda.

[@fishwhisperer03]

How is that a milestone? It's insane for a dirt bike haha

[@minibikemafia]

...and here's Chase Sexton with the weather...

[@tygotygo828]

its time voor 2 stroke again

[@bakfixx]

A "Special Edition" CR 500 would have been nice...

[@markjohnston2675]

The modern 4 strokes are good however think where the 2 strokes would have been with 25+ years of development...Rotary valve with variable valve timing, fuel injection, modern frame developed for the engines, 350 to 400 to 500 for the open class... And when it's rebuild time forget it the 2 stroke crushes, very important to private racers.

Just for the record a red CR never had a blue seat. Those were orange. If you're going to be talking 80's a wing is a must have. I still really like it though.

Hey honda, please make the 150 fuel injected , it needs a little something more, I would be awesome if it had even just 2 map settings and launch mode , my son has been racing his 2020 150rb for a year now and it just doesn't get the respect it deserves, but making it fuel injected would give it an edge over 85's and other superminis...
