Honda Overhauls 2027 CRF450 Series — First Major Redesign in a Decade, Led by the CRF450R

Wish they'd properly improve the street-legal (L) version too, not just the racer. Don't leave trail riders behind.

^ Exactly. The KX450's already ahead, so leaving it untouched for 10 years is the real problem.

The first major CRF450 overhaul in 10 years, finally. Honda's getting serious at last.

The old CRF used to be unbeatable. It's been getting outpaced in motocross the last few years.

If both the engine and frame are redesigned, it all comes down to how the weight and power delivery change.

All this 'reform' talk, but in the end it's just catching up to Kawasaki and KTM, right? They've always been playing catch-up.
