2009 Honda's

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

250F (well, at least whoever is modelling the crf won't have to change anything)-

I don't mind it.


The 450's frame looks strange though. Like it's too narrow on the stem. I wouldn't be surprised if a few get cracked/broken.


But, I'm not feeling he whole setup from the airfilter plastics back. Not a great design, I don't think. And the rounded off shrouds and strange front fender don't look that nice.


But, If someone offered me the bike for free, I'd still take it. :D

I wonder if the shock will fade with that half size reservoir. It looks really nice though. With the muffer tucked in like that it looks like they're going for a low moment of inertia.

Wow, didn't even notice that reservoir. That is really small eh. I wonder if their shorty pipe will restrict the power like it did with the YZ450F?

Didn't notice the small resivoir. The new numberplates, I don't like, but like everything else, save the resivoir. The 250f numberplates on the 450 = me spending 8,000 that I don't have!

the 450 looks like a ktm,husaberg(09) and a rmx 450 08 :shock:
I dont like the white plastics, they look so dirty and old after just 3 runs.

Has anyone seen how the header is? It's an interesting design. I'm surprized more companys haven't thought of it. Longer the header, the more horsepower, right?

Untill a rock hits the pipe wich almost looks wider than the bike itself.
I dont wanna know how the 2020 bikes look. all the bikes are getting uglier and uglier, exept ktm and yamaha who hasnt changed too much, and I hope they not change the plastics cuz they cant look better than they do. I dont wanna see some fucking spaceships when i get older :x

I absolutely Hate the YZF plastics.


The two nicest brands I think, are Suzuki and Kawasaki, regardless of colors.

The plastics just plain look nice.

As Voutare said, I think the longer header gives more power, and wrapping it around like that lets the pipe stay closer to the engine, so really, it is less prone to damage, and less prone to you touching it
