VOL. 55 ISSUE 21 MAY 30, 2018 P61
Out with the old, in with the new. Honda's much-loved CRF450X
gets a major revival for 2019. Gone is the 13-year-old carbureted
CRF450X, replaced by the all-new fuel-injected CRF450X, which,
like the new dual sport L model, borrows all the new stuff from the
2019 CRF450R motocrosser. Like the CRF450R, the X gets a new
frame, swingarm and six-speed wide-ratio transmission. Plus, it's
California green-sticker legal.
Honda continues to offer the full-race CRF450RX off-road model,
which gets the same upgrades as the 2019 CRF450R motocrosser.
Availability is scheduled for October with an MSRP of $9799.
