2023 Honda CRF450R 80's Factory Race Team Throwback Budget Build - Whiskey Throttle Spotlight
We built a 2023 Honda CRF450R keeping 2 things in mind - go after that 80's Factory Race team look and keep it budget friendly. With a few aftermarket add-ons and some fresh graphics, we've got a great looking bike that performs well on the track.

That's possibly the most beautiful dirt bike I've ever seen. Not exaggerating. Seriously, it's amazing. I'm exactly the right age to appreciate that look. The graphics are killer. Great work Ping.

@@whiskeythrottlemedia great bike and that jump at 4:10 ... very nice.
When Honda released photos of this bike months ago I was stoked to see the blue seat and gold rims....but the iconic wing was missing! Honda missed the mark with the graphics on this anniversary bike- glad you did it some justice. This is the way it SHOULD look. Well done!
"Plain" graphics translate to a clean look. Some graphics today are too busy. You guys nailed this build man it looks awesome.
So nice to see younger guys connecting the past to the future. David is the renaissance man to our sport.
Love that retro look. Brings back memories of when I raced during the 80's & 90's.
This was extremely well done. I do love the look of that era. The simplicity of the graphics look so good. Well done guys!

Thanks, sir! Merry Christmas
Although I am a loyal Kawasaki bike owner, when I first saw photos of the '83 works Honda's in the magazines of the day. They were like glamorous supermodels in the room, you just couldn't stop staring at them. Had the magazine's made the photo a full centrefold, it would of been hung on many a garage wall irrespective of brand loyalty. The colour scheme just popped out at you with drool factor. It is a timeless look that still turns heads. It is no wonder the top MX riders of the day sought highly a Honda ride contract.
Clean look is best look.
That color way is timeless! Cheers Ping, and Merry Christmas
Love the retro look and you touched up just enough. 👍
Ping!!! Hell yeah!! Workin mans build!! Good stuff. Stripped the paint off my yz pipe, polished her up and blow torched it for the factory blued look. Came out sweet, fun project. Cant always afford the best. Also probably not the smartest idea to dump all your money into your dirtbike right now. Anyways. Keep on rockin in the free world!!

Beautiful whip@ 4:09! 😊
Great looking bike! i love it. I'm 59 yrs old. I grew up riding Honda's during those vintage look years.
I love it! Even the slight orange tint is perfect. One odd thing- this really makes the modern plastics look skimpy!That's the only flaw
Awesome Job

I grew up riding mid-eighties CRs and didn't really like the look of the stock throwback models...but this one looks great
Reminds me of my 1986 CR250R… I like the looks
85 is the year Honda went red white and blue on the Honda wing. My favourite but this 83-84 style wing isn’t bad.
Looks great! Now do a suzuki with blue frame and engine!
Excellent Video! You guys know that in a local racer's mind, having a "FACTORY BIKE" look really scores points with the Chicks! Awesome job!
Looks sweet!
Lookin good out there Ping, bike looks sick too.👌👌
Love it , brings me back to a more exciting time.
Live that look bad ass

So Ping you’ve ridden this gen honda with the full pro circuit and the slip on, i have a 23 and am about to pull the trigger on a slip on. Is the t6 worth it?? Does it change the power, sound? Thank you
what WCL mount stiffness did you guys go with and how did the change feel?

@stuckcamping Yep, we're very fortunate that OEM's trust us to review their new models and provide the community with our opinions on them. However, that doesn't change what is going on around in the world around us. The point you must have missed is that we kept the build modest when we could easily have bolted on another 10k in mods that nobody can afford right now. Thanks for stopping by and for the views!
