t's hard to believe it's been 15 years since the first Honda
CRF450R hit showroom floors, nestled amongst numerous two-
strokes MX bikes. At the time, four-strokes were the redheaded
stepchild, not the norm. The early 2000's saw the beginning of
major change in the world of motocross and that change has con-
tinued to shape motocross as we know it. Many thought the four-
stroke was a fad, a niched market that only some would embrace.
Two-stroke motocross bikes? In 2016 that is the oddity.
