CRF450R or CRF450X


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

not to dog on ur bike or n e thing but im not a big honda fan. honestly i would wait until the rmz450 and the trail version of it come out. i know they already have a drz but im sure they will update that one to match the motor characteristics of the rmz and i read they were gobbs faster than the honda and pretty much a toss up between yamaha and ktm for the motor. thats just my opinion tho. I do like the newer hondas tho as much as I hate to say so go for it man.

I don't know what mags you have been reading, but everything I have seen has said nothing other than the new 05 CRF is the best moto-x bike ever...period. 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.
