Is there anything sexier than a Honda CRF? I’ll wait… No, there isn’t! I walk out into my shop, and I see that all red machine over there just looking at me and it makes my dirt bike heart melt. Even though I am critical of the CRF450R, there is not another bike made that I want to ride more than the CRF450R. Chassis rigidity has been an issue for me over the years and I have been vocal about it, but now with the changes that Honda made in 2023, could we see a more compliant Honda? A more forgiving West Coast dirt chassis? If you live on the East Coast or ride tracks that have soft dirt, this CRF450R chassis is one of better chassis’ available, but us West Coast riders are looking for a little more comfort. I may or may not have had some time on the ‘23 chassis in pre-production form so I do have some things to say about it for all you Honda lovers out there. If you’re looking to get a 2023 Honda CRF450R, reading this may help your purchasing decision. Below are the changes that Honda made to the 23 CRF450R and with each of those changes I give you a rider’s perspective what that means on the track. Look for a complete breakdown of this machine as soon as Honda releases it to us media folks.
