so it's easier to fine-tune the suspen-
sion at the track. You don't have to go
to the extremes anymore. We wanted
a bit more bite from the front wheel for
the turns, so we lightened the fork's
compression by one click, which gave
us just the feel we were looking for
without sacrificing overall firmness.
That was it for us on this day regarding
clickers, mapping, and ergos. What a
difference a year makes!
Our first impression of the 2022
Honda CRF450R is a good one. As
we expected, Honda addressed and,
more importantly, fixed, all those
nagging glitches and hiccups that
plagued last year's model, which was
an otherwise excellent motorcycle.
If there ever was a case about
waiting a year for the manufactures to
work out all the bugs of a new model,
this would undoubtedly be it.
