CRF Performance Line: Overview

[@kadeolson9805]

Honda, you have a HUGE 2-stroke fan base. There are thousands upon thousands of people that would love to see the Cr 85, Cr125, Cr250, or the Cr500 back.. they’d buy them in a heartbeat. Heck, the ones you built back before 2007 people still ride to this day including me owning a 2002 Cr250. You led the industry in 2 stroke bikes and reliability. We all want the 2 strokes back. Emissions problems? You can find a way around it just like any other company has and will. This isn’t just coming from me, this is coming from die hard Honda riders across the globe. Bring back the 2 strokes!

[@rvh77]

Kade Olson Try a KTM. I got a 2017 KTM 300 xc.. Absolutely love it. If you want straight up motocross, get a KTM 250 SX.

[@romanhoward8629]

Kade Olson how bout a cr 65 as well,

[@kadeolson9805]

Rob Van Huss cool. My dad rides the same bike. I’ve ridden it. I can do the same thing a KTM bike can do on my Honda 2 smoker. I ride Trails not as much motocross but sometimes. It’s the rider not the bike. KTM does make good bikes, just not my style and not a lot of the Honda 2 stroke fan bases style..

[@kadeolson9805]

Romanowski #30 yeah. Anything works. Bring back the Honda 2 strokes!

[@SevenChapters]

Honda makes the best 2 strokes

[@thumpertalk]

Honda, thanks for investing in the expansion of your dirt bikes & dual sport products. Let's get this industry back to 2008 rider levels!

[@lithium25693]

That won't happen till minimum wage is 15$ an hour. Dirt biking is a rich man's sport now

Thank you so much for the 450L, so many people have been wanting this bike for years! Keep up the good work.

[@hondamotorcycles]

Thank you! :)

[@desertdrz7618]

Finally Honda! Good job, all I wanted was the 450L for sooo long.

[@hondamotorcycles]

You won't be disappointed :)

[@recombi123]

What is the difference between the 450x and the 450L besides it being street legal. Same engine ,suspension, wide ratio gearing? All I wanted was a 450x dual sport for years.

[@willstief4383]

mcj john I would assume they’re identical other that the street legal parts. Just my best guess from the looks of it

[@hondamotorcycles]

Both the X and L are based off the R but the engines have slight differences compared to each other because the L was built for reliability in mind since it is a road-going bike as well. The other things you hit it on the money. They are also other slight differences but are mainly for reliability on the L. They are very very close to each other. Hope this helps.

[@codenamenel]

Is the 450L coming to Europe too ?, Ive answered my own question, yes, but seems disappointingly under powered

[@aixonoterre7335]

Honda, please, make CR again. This world is full of 2 stroke lovers and i am one. If cr returns i will buy one for shore. Not shore if 125 or 250. Quick! I’m getting old! Good job with crf450l and the 450we.

[@GIGABACHI]

Took them long enough, let's see if the other 3 want to play "me too". I hope they do.

[@zane4964]

Now they just need to put a 2 stroke 300 in it

KLRJUNE don't forget to add "450" in front of Yamaha in your comment, makes a heck of a difference. 😁👌

Not a dual sport, not street legal.

[@henryfreund_]

OffRoad805 my buddy is actually going to pick up an 83 xr200 for $500. It runs like a champ

[@offroad8055]

Henry Freund Yeah they are good little bikes. You're not gonna impress the flat bill crowd while unloading it but it's a great little play bike...and perfect for the tight stuff. I took mine out to Hollister Hills (CA) last weekend specifically to ride all the single track in the Renz area.

[@DaddyEric222]

Still running great! But probably gonna sell for an Africa twin.... orrrr the 450L.... hmmmmmmmm

[@TeamHMhonda]

I am a redrider since 20 years. I got a 2005 CR250R "HM" and a 2015 CRF250R "redmoto" I am waiting a true 250F for enduro on France. If the 2020 CRF250X have a 6 speed transmission, i will change and buy my 9th Honda. Very happy to see the massive improvements and the new Off Road models, great job this year. D'ont miss the 250X 😉

Follow up after some research. 25hp, no tachometer, no fuel gauge, $10,399, 25hp, needs frequent service. Thanks Honda for making a step in the right direction, but this bike need some work

[@1lifeonearth]

This is so awesome. Thank you Honda.

[@RonTimmonsM1]

Give me a 650 in the on off road version of these bikes and I'm in. It's great to see Honda going back to on/off road bikes. They should not have ever got away from it. People that go camping, have farms, trail riders, street riders etc there are a million reasons to have on and off road bikes. Super light weight and powerful. I'm so intrigued!

[@נחנדב]

Honda you are the best!!! Definitely own on of thoes bikes. Waiting for the 2 strokes ;-)

[@parcans]

Unless they come out with a new one, I'll keep my pair of 250R's until the end. They'll be buried with me

[@DaddyEric222]

Sorry but they'll never make another 2 stroke. Honda just doesn't make 2 stroke engines anymore.

[@endurobandit]

You don't know that. They could bring it back easily with fuel injection even.

why not a 2 stroke? you know damn well people will buy em.. so just do it.. btw my 30 year old atc still... just starts right right up.. :)

[@snocrushr]

EPA killed the 2 strokes, they will never be back. Electric is here though and gaining ground . Every year emission standards get more stringent, the "Dirty" 2 stroke is the worst offender of hydrocarbon emissions. 2 stroke engines still being produced will soon not meet new emission standards, the R&D costs for a new clean 2 stroke far out weigh any profit to be made. .

[@proximap2151]

Yamaha still sells a 250cc and 125cc 2 stroke, kawasaki still sells a 100/85/65 2 stroke.. j/s

[@Cactus73]

Pure non-sense. KTM has more two stroke off-road models than Honda has off-road bikes...period.

[@hawkgamer3354]

there is to much money to bring back 2 strokes there 2 stroke r&d departments are long gone and so are the factorys to build them and with euro 5 coming out they will either have to buy ktms tpi or make there own and ktm would be retarded to sell it to them because of how many crs would sell over ktms

[@nicholasposey8684]

[@TarmacBlackIX]

Dylan Bogusz the honda will be about the same in price but im sure ownership cost will be half with the honda. Ktm and husky parts are expensive and hard to find

[@michaelmckay]

I bought a 2017 husky FE501 to replace my XR400R, I still ride the XR400R sometimes. The FE is high maintenance (checking the valves ever 30 hours), the XR the maintenance is almost optional haha.

d tact you obviously know nothing. KTM parts are just as cheep as Honda and I've found they are easier to get. Anything I need I can get in 3 days. Most in stock. I can't even get that with Honda. I have 3 honda's and a new husky. Honda offers no edge over KTM/husky. They have the same reliability (the new Hondas) and not a lot more maintenance. Honda says replace a piston every 15 hours in some

Zane Zinn def if Honda ever did do a 125/250/300 they would sell out before they hit the show room floors, awhile back I watched s Honda history vid and Honda themselves said they never wanted to make 2strokes, they always believed in the 4stroke way back even before the Elsinore, but they needed to to break into the US market at that time, so why I believe they will never do that.

ThePreppersBunkerOutdoors well it needs to be reliable considering it's road legal. Don't want to stop every 50 miles just for an oil change.

[@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors]

Fortteen bikes making 50+ hp on the road have a service interval of 135 hours, which on the road would be what, 4000 miles on the road? There is NO longevity reason for this bike to be detuned to 25hp- if it will be, which i cant believe to be the case. This thing would be a TURD with 25hp. A literal joke.

Beep Beep Lettuce because nobody has a maico, and those arnt built to be in a competition class with 450s.
