- For 2023, Honda's legendary CRF450R celebrates 50 years of motocross heritage. The legacy that started with Gary Jones’s original, 1973 CRF250M Elsinore leads directly to the current pinnacle of motocross technology and performance - the 2023 CRF450R, campaigned by Team Honda HRC riders Chase Sexton and Ken Roczen. To commemorate Honda's dominance in AMA Motocross and Supercross in the 1980s, a special edition CRF450R 50th Anniversary model is also available that features graphics and styling inspired by the 1980s CRs. Both versions of the 2023 CRF450R, as well as the CRF450RWE and CRF450RX, receive key engine and chassis updates that refine the bike's handling and improve corner-exit acceleration. Here's a look at Honda's rich motocross history, technical updates to the 2023 CRF450R and an overview of the 2023 CRF Performance family.

Start producing two strokes again and I'll buy one.
Exactly, 30+ years of success was due to 2-strokes.
Honda 4 strokes suck. Never really been a fan of the honda mx bikes. Loved the air cooled hondas. Absolute bulletproof engines. Yami all the way
Same I’ll buy one.
I’d buy more than one haha i wish they do
Thanks to Elon musk we won’t be able even get proper 4 strokes if he keeps on pushing his propaganda with all those cropt crypto currency money laundering scams
Bring back the 2stroke
with the 50th anniversary you guys should’ve brought back 2 strokes with that style
Should have brought back the CR 250 2stroke and called it an M and thrown every new tech at it for 50 years. Fuel injection, hydraulic clutch, launch, maybe even electronic suspension.
Nice throwback to the original Elsinore and the HRC Honda's of the 80's....love the gold rims and blue seat!
I like it
We have to see one on the channel
@@BMBradyy That's the plan!
I had a 2015 crf250 with the same exact throwback kit on it. It's like Rick Johnson and Bailey and Omara rode back in the 80s... I love the classics it's what made racing into what it is today and I was born in the 90s lol. I want a new 450 now I'm not too keen on the gold wheels but I'd get some all black anodized rims anyway lol
KTM is kicking your ass with the 2 strokes WAKE UP bring back the two stroke
FINALLY! Blue seat and gold rims are back and they look awesome! When will black rims ever go away?
never
It’s really a shame that Honda won’t build and bring back The CR 250 CR 125 two strokes gas gas is kicking butt
That’s some thing I didn’t notice you’re right Honda using 83-86 colors scheme
Happy Anniversary Honda ‼️ ❤️
That bike looks gooood. But get me a cr250 2 stroke with all that good 450 stuff
Love Honda still got a 01 cr 250,but have you noticed how many titles you have not won since getting rid of 2 strokes?
Don't blame the bikes dude. Honda has made very good four stroke mx bikes for years. It is only the riders to blame for them not getting titles.
I have an 01 CR250 as well. It is an amazing engine. I rode it stock for years. Then I had it ported and the head milled by Pro Circuit and it was insanely fast. Then I had it bored out to 265cc and had more port work done. Not is is slower and less fun to ride. I need to by a new cylinder and send it to Pro Circuit.
@@LolliWANG505 I know they still make good bike,but look at the #s they dominated 2 stroke racing. Hell roczen won straight rythem couple years ago on an 06 against new ktms. Honda should at least make 60s or 80s missing out on young riders
@@LolliWANG505 you’re right man, Sexton and Roczen in supercross are leading, even Jett.
And Gajser too here in Europe is kicking ass for years. But yeah they’ve could done better
Love my mint 06 will never sell it
Love the 80’s look 👀
I love that looks like the 84-87 cr125,250 and 500s with the gold rims and blue seat and all
That anniversary edition looks sooooo SICK!!! It's a bummer I'm retired from moto and all I do is look at watch. My heart still belongs to dirt scooters and HRC ❤️
Would of been sweet to see a 2023 CR250
Would be sweet if someone would blow there 450 up so I can get it cheap and swap my 01’ engine 🤟 they for sure need to make a 2 stroke.
Bring back the 2 stroke 500cc please
Love the blue seat throwback. Only missing the Red, White and blue wing.
I agree, a throwback Honda wing would complete the look
it is almost like Honda doesnt want to revive that wing... crazy isn't it.
@@andysmith8295
Almost time they don’t want to represent American colours
its time voor 2 stroke again
Yall got an awesome lineup of riders right now. I watched the 21 kid grow up and he's a great fit for the team. Awesome
“Also updated - the price. We are happy to say that we have reached the $15,000/ bike mark, which is a milestone for Honda. Future plans for Honda include reaching the golden $20,000 mark.”
And their "special edition" bikes are barely able to compete with the competitors standard bikes.
I'd get a European bike or a Yamaha before I would drop money on a Honda.
How is that a milestone? It's insane for a dirt bike haha
@@fishwhisperer03 that's the joke
LOVE the look with the gold wheels
My brother back in '86 bought a brand new CR250 and bought me a new CR80 at the same time. I've been hooked on MX ever since. Amazing how technology has changed.
Just got done doing a partial restoration on the CR Elsinore's cousin a street legal 76' MR175 Elsinore with 350 miles on the odometer, they are some pretty cool old bikes! The spare spark plug in the head was a neat feature for those bikes.
Thank you HONDA, I owe my entire career to you folks. I was 1 of the first Pro Technicians in the world. I remember all the original Elsinore models, and the red R models as well. I recently purchased a CR-V All wheel drive for my daily driver auto. I might build and race Harley and Suzuki now, but I will ALWAYS be a Honda fan.
T.S. RACING
I’m just glad they got gasoline engines
My buddy had an old Elsinore 125 as a teen. What a riot! Hold on tight and plug your ears! It was the loudest bike of the neighborhood.
Remake 2 stroke 🤘🤘🤘
A "Special Edition" CR 500 would have been nice...
i woud be very much happy if honda will produce back the 2 strokes particularly for enduro
I love the blue seat with the Honda red! Beautiful machine!
GreAt hommage !Hrc 4 ever
has a bit of a retro throwback look. I like it
Just for the record a red CR never had a blue seat. Those were orange. If you're going to be talking 80's a wing is a must have. I still really like it though.
Would love to see Kaplan America get his hands on that bike with the heritage colours!!!
Missed on your list RC’s 2002 24-0 Motocross Championship!
Piękna Honda...
Looks amazing. I’m planning on getting a 250r next year, I really, really hope it comes in the same colour-way.
If not buy a custom wheels set from Dubya and get the gold wheels
I believe those wheels are roughly 2 grand thru DUBYA.
Same thing for me 🤞🤞
Did u get ur 250r?
The modern 4 strokes are good however think where the 2 strokes would have been with 25+ years of development...Rotary valve with variable valve timing, fuel injection, modern frame developed for the engines, 350 to 400 to 500 for the open class... And when it's rebuild time forget it the 2 stroke crushes, very important to private racers.
KTM 300sx.
@@colbyspratt2747 very funny man, very very funny
@@nicolarondelli9301 300 2 stoke, Electric power valve, fuel injection, electric start, maps, in a new KTM frame. I’m a Honda guy but that bike is enticing as hell.
@@colbyspratt2747 I really don’t like ktm in any case, and the sx300 it’s not my bike. It’s very fast and it’s like having a 450 but 2 stroke so too much for me.
Too much even for the price🙄
That's awesome 😍 and that is my dream bike🥺
Keep up the good work team HONDA🙏
Advert was so good I bought one , 😍
Thank God for showing me that I will buy one for myself
GOLD RIMS!!! 😍
Looks sweet !
Looks good... I'll wait for the actual riding/racing reviews and results. I still don't understand why the Works Edition models come with standard triple clamps???
Good job! Nice looking bike
Total throwback
Can’t wait to get a 450r!
Anxious to see the MSRP for the R-S model
Let’s get going with a Cr 125/250 and I’ll head to the dealership right now get with the program Honda people
Want bangers
50th Anniversary Edition. 👍🏻
Looks good and a cool way to pay homage, but I’d still just get the 2023 graphics.
la honda de este año es preciosa
How about a 450L Rally version? Bigger gas tank, windscreen, sane service intervals? 300L Rally needs a big brother
Very interesting bike
WHERES THE CR125 ……. PLEASE WE BEG YOU
Red with blue seat...............yes.
Would of been the perfect year to being back the two strokes
líder mundial. Honda❤
When’s the 2023 trx 450r going to come out?!!
How many of those models are gonna be available in Canada
Where's the 450 sport quad we all want??
beautiful and powerful dirt bike but what happened to the trx450, many like me need it
So you’re telling me that you reduced the throttle body size and made the intake port narrow meaning yeah I’m gonna get more torque but I’m gonna lose horsepower yeah no im good i can get more torque with gearing
keep the blue and gold and I'll be a Honda man again
The memories...Cycle magazine pics covered my bedroom walls surrounding a Raquel Welch poster in '73.
I'd love to have a 2023 in this color scheme but a 250 2 stroke!
Where is the cr500 2 strock 50th version ?
Thought new bikes come out in august?
Honda please, re-start with quads and two strokes!! The world needs this!! I want a Honda TRX 250 r!! Let's GO!! :D
I have Marty Smith's signature on my 00 cr250
Honda needs to make the RL a Supermoto as well.
Bro could be a news anchor
Where can you buy those shirts?
Where does CRF 150L come from? What CRF series does it based?
Imagine if the 50th anniversary was the reintroducing the cr 125 and 250’s
dude looks like tom cruise... sweet bike.
Does anyone know the difference in the R and the RS
You say that it is legal in all 50 states (im assuming in the us) but what about other countrys like australia and new zealand
Anniversary addition looks great. No offense but can I buy one without the engine? A billet case A.J. Waggoner 500cc two smoke will be going in. -- Why are the manufacturers not listening to the vet riders with money.
We need an updated 150r
Bring back the 2 strokes...my 1988 honda trx250r will kill some of the newer 450s...bring back the 2 strokes!!!
Multiple yz250fs and ktms don’t even last me a month hoping this bike will at least last a year for the price.
Goooooo 2stroke
Cool but, what about a gnarly 2 stroke
Still love the twin exhaust system on the CRF 🥰🥰🥰
CR250 and 500 2stroke please
Let’s go looken good!
I think I will just keep my 1996 CR500 Crisp.
🆗
Love Honda's new 4-stroke competition bikes! They always a contender.. as are Yamaha bikes. Thing is KTM, Husky & GasGas are raising the bar very high!
Wait until you see the all new 2023 YZ's .
@2216sammy seen it & rode it. Nice bike but thankfully went w/23 KTM 450SXF. Amazing smooth monster power. Best build quality & chassis. Austria dominates MX. Europe invented MX its come full circle! 💯
It wasn’t “what bike do you ride” it used to be what honda do you ride
Two strokes please!
Hey how about a new Trx450r 🙃
Very trick. Do people ever still just ride for fun or is lower lap time the only thing that matters?
I ride for fun
@@bradley4698 me too, I don’t even watch the lap time
Remake the 250 2 Stroke !
Why won't you bring back the glorious Honda Orange from the early to mid eighties?
Hey honda, please make the 150 fuel injected , it needs a little something more, I would be awesome if it had even just 2 map settings and launch mode , my son has been racing his 2020 150rb for a year now and it just doesn't get the respect it deserves, but making it fuel injected would give it an edge over 85's and other superminis...
Honda make a new trx450r
Watched itchy boots gets recommended this a few years ago I was recommended royal Enfield because she was riding one .
You should have a silver model too.
Proper. Graphics silver rims and black seat.
You need a 73 throwback.
You did 1986. 50 years needs 50 year look back.
It better be same price as stock 450 because it’s cheap to do the rims like that and less graphics lol
