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.

    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!

    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.

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!!

    @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!
