I don't care how good it is...I'd buy one just to go out to the garage and look at it. What a beauty of a bike.

[andrewmarshall]

It does look sweet! Any new 450 has more than enough power for mere mortals .
Except the other 2% which I happen to be, only problem is I’m in the bottom 2% .

[moodyshooty]

the throwback edition is quite possibly the most beautiful 450 in existence.

[jamesc]

I plan on buying this rig on looks alone. Reminds me of the early 80’s color way. I’ll be the one riding this with my son on the trails… I’ll be that guy.

its perfect. the 450r was great with some mods in 2005, now its just great stock too

Thanks for bringing CRF 450 2023 nice bike motor cross action magazine 👍💯

[browie]

Since when do we refer to dyno hp as "faster" or "slower"? With that logic the most powerful bike will always be the fastest. 👎

[jedielder]

Thanks for the honest video. 57 horsepower should be plenty for 90% of the amateur's out there. If you are a top pro, you will be doing some modifications on your new showroom bike, anyway. I didn't hear anything really bad or that can't be fixed easily. Watching you ride, that bike does turn like a champ. It's beautiful and probably bullet proof, as most Honda's are. I look forward to see all the 450's and 250's go head to head in MA's shootouts. BTW, I love the look of the bike.

Funny you say you like the 3 map settings but last year or so I think it was you that said that you didn’t like the Yamaha and doing map adjustment cause it’s a waste of time! Lol funny thing is you go to rest and have plenty of time or pull off and it takes a couple of seconds. Plus the fact you can program 2 of them in it and later out others in it and save all of them on your phone. Huge difference in what you can do with their technology.

At 11:16 he mentions "detonation" feel w the engine in Map3. What is that?

[jetdr]

I love the look of the Bike, I wish they would all go back to the 80's look. I miss the Yellow yz's

Suzuki mapping philosophy 😍 #Usability ~ Great edit, J-Mo & Fant Man 🔥

Wow Beautiful bike
Now imagine it with a two stroke 250 or 500

[AntiPattern]

Glen Helen is probably the only place you can ride multiple bikes and tell a difference in HP.

[dennis-vlnz]

Beautiful!!! A work of art, !! Honda!!!

[alpeters]

Love the look of the bike! Then again, I have a 87 CR500. That being said, it sounds like Honda has lost its way! I do appreciate an honest analysis though!

[jconstantine]

So for any of us that bought a '22 do we get a remap since it was still dirty?

[stevenrogers]

a work of art! you just cant beat hondas.

[motoxmatt]

Nice review Josh! keep up the great work!

[craigmccall]

Glen Helen has a way of finding out if your setup sucks or not.... Thursday afternoons [especially] can have a couple bumps to test on. Good times!
