I was taking a stroll down memory lane and found this footage of a ride I went on with a buddy about 9 years ago. I'm riding what was his 2005 Honda CRF450X that day. It was a good day!

9 years ago. Time flies when you’re on a bike. Need to ride with you again.

I absolutely love my 2005 CRF450R just had the top end rebuilt last season and the thing is an absolute beast first time the motor has ever been touched since O5.

I love my 05 450x. I've had it around 10 years, oil changes and 2 valve adjustments is all it's ever needed.

The 05 450x is one of the best Hondas ever built in my opinion. Had a lot of fun on one way back in the day.

I had a 2007 Honda CRF450X, rode mostly mountain trails and high desert single track and absolutely loved it! Probably one of the most reliable bikes I've ever owned. It was a heavy bike but it hauled my big butt around with ease. Had to sell it after I wrecked and broke my foot. Wish I still had it!

I used to have a 2007 KX450F and I cannot explain how much I miss that bike. It was mostly stock but very comfortable to ride and the suspension was top notch. Was aggressive but not as torquey as my YZ450F. Had a lot of power but was great for my first 450. I might get another one day just to relive some of my childhood every now and then lol

My dad had an 05 450x when I was little, this brings back memories.

I have a 2007 Honda XR650R Sumo. Had engin rebuilt and love it. No engin mapping, anti-lock brakes or anything like that on it. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I've owned a 2005 450X since 2008. It's been an awesome bike. I've put tags on it and rode on pavement for a while, and hundreds of miles off-road as well. With the carb adjusted correctly, I can kick-start it effortlessly, don't really use the electric start unless I stall it in an awkward position. I replaced the valves and piston rings, and put a stage 2 Hot Cam in it... Other than that, it's just had general maintenance. I don't ride it anymore, but I can't bring myself to sell it. When I rebuilt the forks, I put Schaffer's All-Trans transmission fluid in them, and it's worked great! My fork seals are still dry as a bone, after several years, and it seems to ride perfectly in the trails.

Have an 06 450x plated and upgraded.
Still gets the job done, great bike.

My 2001 yz125 is still the funnest bike I own and keep going back to. I definitely dont need the bells and whistles of the new stuff.

[MagnumMuscle]

Every dirt bike made in the last 20 years has more capability than everyone except pro riders can use. Of course they are fun.

I had an 04 crf250 that I really Loved for a long time. I was super glad to move on when it came time! It's fun to reminisce about old bikes. My dad still remembers the days when there wasn't a better bike than the xr600. He sure doesn't want to ride one now, but fun to think about!

[Briank-efiq]

Old school 2 strokes are a ton of fun !!!

[justinsaunders]

I started my riding on an 05 450R! Kicked my but in Utah single track but I got to rebuild the motor top and bottom and I learned so much. Now I’m on a 2024 300xc but I’ll always have a soft spot for those Honda 450’s!

[carlatamanczyk]

In addition to my Sherco 250, Beta and Husky 300s I presently own, I still have a 2003 XR250 bored to a 280.
It is just a guest bike nowadays but it still looks and runs like new.

[NickBlazer-cfvs]

Still have an ‘07 450X, it will never leave. Cool video Kyle!

[jerl.]

I owned one for 3 years and it was very good. The mid range power was impressive. Built to last and very stable. Cold start were difficult but once warm it was perfect. Very stable bike. Not for the slow trails because it stalls easily and abruptly.

[mudman]

I ride an 08 WR 450. Not great for super technical riding but for just getting out abd having fun it does the job and gets me back home

[jeffwebb]

Love my 05 450x I still have it after 16 years. I replaced valves with stainless 10
Years ago. Such a reliable bike. Quite heavy compared to the Sherco 250SE 😊
