  • 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.

      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.

    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.
