CRF450x

They announced it officially last night. Has both e-start and kick, 255lbs, $6999, available in Feb 2005.

Dad ass! Does anyone know how hard it is to get a dirt bike plated in MA?

On second thought, I don't need another project.

Cool as it is, I don't think it would make a good street supermoto (too maintenance intensive for a daily rider), and it's too heavy for a racebike. It'd be one helluva fun dirt bike though.

it's not that heavy. put a new pipe and some other goodies and it could be a great race bike that when dropped would start right up again. i can't count how many races have been tossed when my KTM wouldn't start again.

cool!

Will this one hold more than a whole liter of oil?!!!

This bike has an electric start and a kick shaft!! Sweet action :thumbup:

The X is actually only 15 pounds more than the R version. The X was weighed with all it fluids and the R was not. I learned that from my local dealer who had just gotten back from the Honda Convention.

I read an MFG article on that X model and they said it had a much wider usable power band ?? I'm turning into a wuss I am hating kick start.... especially with muddy /wet boots......

I think I read in Dirt Rider that Honda increased the oil capacity.
