2013 Honda CRF 450 R With the 2013 CRF450R, Honda’s engineers set out to create a new kind of 450-class racer, a machine designed to meet the needs of today’s “scrub generation” of riders and fulfill demand for a well-integrated package that’s eminently flickable, responsive and lightweight. The 2013 CRF450R’s all-new chassis focuses on attaining class-leading mass centralization and unrivaled handling. Work towards that end began with the creation of an all-new aluminum frame designed to fully integrate and achieve maximum advantage from an innovative suspension package, plus a strategically engineered dual-muffler exhaust system that tucks in closely to the center of mass.
