$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. Jett Lawrence
won the 450SMX crown while
aboard the '25 model CRF450R.
