I like the colors. It should be silver and forest green, though (in honor of the Elsinore), no?

So does the WE now have a stainless Yoshimura system or titanium? It states both in the article

Nice, Hondas should be red with blue seats and gold wheels

Looks like some great changes for 23! Now some guys may not have to pay for valving and springs just to make it rideable. And that's awesome they're going to offer the 22 for a lower price. I wonder if the changes on the 23 are worth the extra dough

That bike looks amazing. Just imagine if we got one of those with a fuel injected two smoke. Shocked

The 50th anniversary bike is beautiful! To me, Yamahas should be yellow and Honda’s should look like this.

I love it!!! I got lucky to get a great deal on a mint/one owner 2007 CRF450R from a fellow VitalMX member and I promptly gathered up all the things I needed to make it look like the proper Honda’s of my youth!
Throttle jockey KILLED it with a retro graphic kit and seat cover, and some gold rims and the effort to swap everything over!

The 2023 50th anniversary edition with the E-button and FI would be a great addition to the fleet IF I can convince my C.F.O. to authorize the P.O.!? 🤪👍

(Although I agree that a TRUE 50th anniversary edition Elsinore should’ve been the proper silver/forrest green!)

Not a Honda guy, but the blue seat and gold rims just looks right. Honda should stick with this forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
