Sweet review guys! Thanks... Honda is killing it!

[cadenlloyd]

Do parts like foot pegs, levers, and stuff like that fit on both of the bikes? I only find foot pegs for an R.

[Angel.Garcia]

good video. finally a vid with both of them side by side

[barnescycle]

it would be real cool to see the breakdown of what parts totaled up 18 lbs, by getting a Rocky Mountain it can easily be dropped to 16, I'm sure the kick stand, starter, and just having a better period is most of it.

thanks guys, this was just the information i was looking for

Supermoto guy here

I like how easy it is to convert to sumo.
I just don't like the difference in weight and tank size.

Super convenient that it has a kick stand and electric start too.

I don't just want to ride streets I want to race sumo and I want the thing to be as light as possible.

Man if I had the money I'd buy both one for street and one for track.

Honda should follow Yamaha and use a lower 1st gear and a taller 5th

Hi so what bike would you take to the sand dunes and play all day ?? and the trail and track and is it a good bike for a big man??

[manchesteribiza]

I’m not sure what to get between CRF450X or CRF450R or CRF450RX. I want it to ride to work on the road 3 times a week and every Sunday on the track. Any advice?

[jasonwulff]

Can you add a kick start to the r? Is the suspension the same just set up a little different?

[christinecharest]

I have à KTM 500 xcw ....and im looking to change for RX Would i do a Good thing??

[wichow]

nice video! is the rx more moto friendly than the yz fx? im looking for a bike but i do like 70% track 30% trail and enduro

[sargil]

It's been awhile since Honda made a great choice. The X is where the XR650R left off. It's taken a bit to get this ride

[scottchittock]

Why 18" rear wheel for offroad? I have an RMZ250 that I'm doing some offroad mods to, but I'm not planning on getting an 18" rear wheel for it. The only downside that I can really see is that you can only get motocross tyres for 19" rear wheels, but I can find my favourite offroad tyre in a 19" size, so why 18" over 19" for offroad?

I am waiting the 2018 CRF250RX, my next bike!

[leetheriderforlife]

I have the xr400r and I do a lot of enduro and greenlineing at weekends and I ride to the bike to a enduro do the race and ride home but have been looking at the crf450rx as a new bike but just a bit worried that it won’t be able to do what I won’t it to do and getting taken home on a recovery truck,
Just how long would I get on the engine before it needs work?

[tyler]

If i buy the rx will the the gas tank on the r still fit it or is it a different setup I was wondering if so I do both trails an track and was wondering if you can swap tanks between the too

[mcnathan]

Do you know if they will be making 450x soon. Like one I can get reg

[curigjenkins]

How many inches is the 2017 450r rear tire, if the rx is 18mm

[jasonholt]

yz250x does great on the track and trail, if you're into 2strokes.
