It is worth noting that the
changes to the 50th Anniver-
sary CRF450R are also found
in the other models, including
the standard CRF450R and
the CRF450RWE, but not the
CRF450R-S (which is the more
affordable 2021 model that
Honda still keeps in its current
line. Compared to the standard
CRF450R, you will, however,
pay $300 more for that awe-
some retro bling. Well worth it,
in our opinion.
