Honda’s all-new CRF450L is now on sale for $12,999.
The CRF450L is a full-on dirt bike with a registration plate – but could also become a very capable lightweight adventure bike in its own right.
The machine is based on the 2019 CRF450R motocross bike and has a wide-ratio six-speed transmission mated to an “evolved” 449cc single-cylinder fuel-injected engine. The L also has revised cam profiles and timing, and a dedicated ECU setting. There’s also a twin-spar aluminium frame.
The six-speed gearbox will definitely make road riding a more comfortable affair, while street legality is achieved via features like LED lighting, mirrors, and a single-sided exhaust rather than the dual setup on the competition models.
There’s electric start powered by a lithium-ion battery, and the fuel tank is made from titanium.
The following CRF450L test ride events will be held:
Participants will also get the opportunity to ride the 2019 CRF450R.
Please note that each motocross venue charges an entry fee for riders, which will cover rider insurance
