2023 Honda CRF450R: Inside Look

For 2023, Honda's legendary CRF450R celebrates 50 years of motocross heritage. The legacy that started with Gary Jones’s original, 1973 CRF250M Elsinore leads directly to the current pinnacle of motocross technology and performance – the 2023 CRF450R, campaigned by Team Honda HRC riders Chase Sexton and Ken Roczen. To commemorate Honda's dominance in AMA Motocross and Supercross in the 1980s, a special edition CRF450R 50th Anniversary model is also available that features graphics and styling inspired by the 1980s CRs. Both versions of the 2023 CRF450R, as well as the CRF450RWE and CRF450RX, receive key engine and chassis updates that refine the bike's handling and improve corner-exit acceleration. Here's a look at Honda's rich motocross history, technical updates to the 2023 CRF450R and an overview of the 2023 CRF Performance family.
