Here it is, a full model change for the CRF450! I've been waiting for this. A competition-only machine fighting on dirt and mud is a world where every year's evolution shows straight up in lap times. A full model change means rebuilding right from the chassis — this is going to shift the balance of power at club races. I'm already thinking about the next machine while washing my boots on Monday. Fantastic.
