CombatTalon2 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Well im looking into buying a bike again. I want to make it street legal so i would need to run a headlight, taillight, mirror and horn. I have been looking at the all new CRF450X enduro, but i really dont want to drop 7,000 on a bike. I could probably get an 02 CRF450R and get headlights. Anyone know where to look or maybe even have a CRF that is converted. Anyway, thanks if you have any advice for me!

tats4life Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 if you buy any crf450r make sure it has all the update crank and piston. the 02-04 had problems with loosing cranks and breaking pistons. the new crf450rx is the shit...hell it's got out decompression built into the cams and you can start the damn thing with your hand....killer bike with a lot of hp stock....somewhere in the low 50 range.

theeechozen1 Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I have to agree with tats on the mini-motard, you couldn't wipe the smile off my face after I put slicks on my fiddy. I would look into the husaberg fe650....fastest bike I've rode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the newer hondas tho as much as I hate to say so go for it man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen one article indicate in anyway that any of the other bikes might even challenge the Honda. I ride a KX250 for MX now and obviously the Banshee for fun, but I fear my next MX bike wil be the CRF. But if you have seen some other articles saying negative stuff about the CRF or that the RMZ will beat it I would like to read it, let me know. Thanks.
