Much hype has been made about Honda’s street-legal 450, and we’re here to tell you that this bike delivers on the promise of a legitimate off-road dual-sport challenger to the European brands. This bike is designed to get you from trail to trail with small pavement sections in between.
The bike is a big step up from the 250L, and it shares its DNA with Honda’s CRF450R, RX, and X models. The 250L really didn’t match the motocross CRF250R in terms of performance, but the 450L is much closer in concept to the 450 motocross versions.
