I ride an 03 CRF450 love it!

These days it is so easy to take an old bike and update it both visually and mechanically to compete with the brand new ones. My 06' CRF450R keeps up with my buddies who have brand new bikes just fine except when their having fuel pump/regulator problems. Its times like those I'm grateful my bike is carbureted!

Wow what a bike! Great work at just bringing those machines back to life and making them even better. Thanks for a great video and always explaining what you guys have done and how it rides.

I have an '05 450X and love it. I named it the Red Mule. I've been taking it out at least once a week, sometimes twice, for the last 8 months. Very reliable Big power for me. No problems with ANYTHING on my bike. I'm 54 yrs old and and love the consistent nature of this machine. Honda got it right with this one.

I rode a CRF450RX last week and let me tell... AMAZING BIKE. Suspension is wonderfully plush, I looove the weight (feels more substantial and planted under me than a 250 but way less heavy than say, a DRZ) but the power is simply TOO MUCH for me. It does NOT like to go slow, which makes it a lot of work in Enduro situations, but out in the open it is an absolute MONSTER! I'd definitely go for this bike if I was riding mostly wide open trails like in the video.

Glad you like them! Its great to hang out with Jay, so much changed since we first met. if I ever get 450 again it would probably be street legal/enduro bike..

Amazing build. I have one 08 all stock and I use it only for single and very tight trails. I know the 250s are better for that kind of terrain. but after you manage how sensible is the throttle and tame it, the bike became easier to ride. besides, it is indestructible and the engine is rock solid.

You'll be amazed how much it costs to rebuild an old bike fully modded. In all honesty including the cost of the bike (even if you get a cheap one for $2000 like I did) it ends up costing the same if not more than a new bike. Love the old girl but wouldn't do it again

The 450x has the 5 speed wide ratio gearbox. Great transmission and great bike that he uses for desert racing and they work great, the big bore will help it out a lot because there a little heavy once all that stuff gets on them. Great bike very smooth at speed. The 2019 450x was the first year of the 6 speed wide ratio gearbox. Let me know if you want it be tested under some good stress and my expert buddies and I will put it through some stuff for you. We live out by Johnson Valley and we have tons of areas we can test this bike out with you guys. We can find out how fast it is for sure. Hahhahahha.
