This is just the press intro and already it's the best Supercross in years. Now if we could only infuse some early years personality into some of these robotic drones.

It needs to say "450" somewhere. The "CRF" just doesn't look the same as "CR". But I'm splitting hairs. I wish they made them this color from the factory. Sweet lookin!

I don't know that I completely agree. I think some of the appeal of retro is that it's somewhat "one-off" for a select event. If you start to saturate the market with retro stuff, I think it would lose it's appeal and go flat. Just a thought.

The blue boots legitimize it.

Can you imagine if retro night was 2 stroke night?

I'd pay triple to see that.

Other than the old-school "2" number, what is so retro about this?

I like how they polished the fuel tank. And the gold rims, black hubs. PRICELESS!

Wouldn't it be great to have Barcia on the 80's replica and Canard on the 90's replica? Maybe that was the plan before Canard's injury.

Gold rims man do I like those I've had enough of black rims.

Black rims look good for about 3 rides. Than they look like their 5 years old.

Still trips me out that a company all about collect calls was a title sponsor. Calling collect use to be a thing.

The fork boots are a little cheese in my Bropinion.
Howz about the bright red fork boots of the Smitty era?
At any rate, that's pretty damn sexy right there. Shocked

It won't really be 'retro' until they paint the motors red. Cool
