2005 Honda® CRF® 450X

Closely based on the very successful CRF450R motocrosser the enduro focused CRF450X benefits from electric start and improved cooling. The 449cc single is very similar to that found in the full blown 'R' motocrosser but the fitment of an electric start required new crankcases to be employed while the five speed box sports wider ratio gearing. The larger 8.6 liter fuel tank, compared to the 7.2 liter tank on the R, that proves enough for well over 100km of trail riding at virtually any speed and incorporates a useful 1.4 liter reserve. A side stand is also fitted and Honda exhibit their attention to detail once again here with the stand mounting point integrated into the rear of the left peg bracket. This means that the stand and its mount can easily be removed for racing by simply exchanging the left peg bracket for a CRF450R item.
