I have a dealer that quoted me $8000 Canadian ($5900 US) OTD for a new 16 CRF450, that's $4000 less than getting a new 17.
I'm a Vet intermediate rider on a good day, so stock power would be enough just suspension work would need to be done.
Any vet riders with a 16 out there? how much money did you have to spend to get the bike to your liking minus motor mods?
Thanks.

Only thing is, I believe that the ours have the PSF1 forks and the 2016 has PSF2 forks . I dont have first hand knowledge of the difference between the 2.
Fork revalve is a must but everything else is ok. Yes, power isn't very exciting but that isn't a major problem. The power is lacking compared to other 450s but it's not like it is slow. Putting the power down to the ground is easier with the Honda which is nice.
BTW, I'll be 41 in Feb. I race the 30+ A and 40+ A classes.
The bike is awesome and I personally love it.
Alternately, I wonder if the 17 forks will fit on a 16? (be a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a A-kit)
Revalve front and Skf fork seals and a better front tyre. Type F ATF in the gearbox for better launches. One of the best bikes.
You will love it
Mine is for sale with 16hours on it if you are from the Montreal area.
