$9699 WET WEIGHT: 247 LBS. The Honda CRF450R is arguably the most anticipated bike of the 2025 model year. With a 70 percent redesign, the red ride gets a new stiffer frame, new airbox and all-new bodywork. The engine is predominantly the same as the previous-genera- tion model and still sports three mapping modes with three lev- els of traction control. An MSRP of $9699 makes it the least expensive of any bike in our shootout, but at 247 pounds, it ties the Kawasaki as the heavi- est of the bunch.
