2017 Honda CRF450R, ABSOLUTE HOLESHOT.Open-class motocross might as well be called the unlimited class. There s no room for anything but the best here, and the best keep getting better and better every year. Well, have no fear, because the all-new 2017 Honda CRF450R is here. Major improvements everywhere, especially to the engine s increased power and peak torque, help drive you to the front of the pack. There s even an optional electric starter this year. And when you re in the lead in the first turn with an empty track in front of you, it s a whole new kind of race.ComfortFLATTER SEAT/TANK JUNCTION: The new 2017 CRF450R features a new, flatter seat/tank junction, including a new titanium fuel tank.
