Im super keen on getting a 2017 crf450, although supply is very scarce down here in Australia.
After spinning a few laps on one the other week I know for sure that this is the bike I want to race this season.
This will be my second year competing in a few of the MX Nationals rounds in the MX1 class, stepping off a 16 KTM 450 I think this is a good change.
If you own one, what level rider are you and what are your thoughts? Cheers

Is that a 18" rear? Just looks small, mind you the front does too.

Love the exhaust! I've added a few goodies to mine already, but that will one day include this same exhaust.

Normally I wouldn't advocate wheels over an exhaust, but in this case ......... that's winning!

And if the hook up is that good, I'm not sure I would want to mess with the power delivery.

I read somewhere on Thumpertalk, I think the other article that has about 8 pages, that a FMF single was not going to happen. So I called them yesterday, they said they just got the 450 a few days ago, and that they are going to produce a single Exhaust. We will see, I am running the Yoshimura Duals, for now.

Yes I can, first off.. Sip' at procircuit is awesome and he is who you need to talk to. Second you want bones to do the suspension and since the Honda was so new and mine was the first one in' about a month ago, they took a great amount of time and effort to get it right. Testing' parts etc..
it's good. Balanced' firm when needed, feels super plush. It's just really really good. I've never had a bike feel so good before. They Used my base suspension settings for another professional freestyle guy that had his in too.
It's good, really good. Of course mine is set up for
Supercross but sip' said it's an easy valve to head for outdoors afterward. I'm pretty sure he used some special
Parts so you may want to ask him what bones did and it cost me 1,035.00 dollars out the door. I'm not saying you will get that exact price but they never quote you wrong.
I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I'm extremely picky. It's good!
