New bike time, was looking at ebay, bored, got to looking. Did Honda not change anything on the 010 450? Everything I can find says its the same bike, Honda website has a compare deal, there isnt even bold new graphics! Or was there a change and I missed it, or its not listed?
500cc 2 stroke - aluminum frame..... $5500. They would sell a zillion. I would buy one this week.
Give it up there gone
Face the facts
The Shop
And never coming back
If you have one bucket that holds two-gallons of water and one bucket that holds one-gallon of water, how many buckets do you have?
We just sold one of my kids 450's and will be replacing it with a 250 smoker.
I can't wait.
Might do the same with my 450...

Honda cut all the ATV factory support, cutting cost in other racing. I am not for certain but I suspect even BNG is a stretch to sell to the Senior Bean Counters.
I am so sick of that cry about strokers, they weight a ton! some do, alot dont. Back in the nostalgia days, you bought a 250 2 smoke and off the floor it weight in the mid 220s.
I have rode a 250 smoker, last week, and even rode a 125... I dont know how we rode those as fast as we did! lol
The 2 things I do miss though, the sound of a smoker on the pipe, and the sweet smell of them, nothing was as good!

Yeah,, easier is popular for most America. I heard the golf course down the street from me is enlarging the holes to 8".... Just kidding. They wouldn't do that as easy makes for less challenge which makes for less personal reward and less fun.
And why play a guitar... all of those pesky frets and strings... just buy one of those dumb guitar hero games and jam like Kieth Richards with the stones..."easier"...
I don't buy this point one bit.. not in my world...

The bike brings joy to me as I am passing guys on the new a improved 450's out at the local track. To much fun. I have a sweet 2004 CRF 250 think it is about to go south on me so this is my primary bike until get the funds together to fix it.
Nice looking bike, 2004 model? By the way, I bought my oldest son a new 2001 RM125 for X-mas back then and had it done up really nice for him. Super light, handled like it was on rails and with the engine mods it flat out hauled. But he stayed on my ass till I got rid of it for a sweet 2004 CRF 250 when they first came out. His 01 RM looked cleaner and way tricker than the one in your pic there when we got rid of it. He just had to have the 4 stroke though..........Oh, wait................
Look @ peoples posts on here saying how there two stroke owned people on there 4-strokes.
Look around the world in nearly all off-road series 4-strokes are king.
Also look @ these posts on here.
I DID UP MY 2001 RM
I GAVE NEW LIFE TO MY 2004 YZ

I had an '02 and it was probably the most fun bike I've ever owned.
Honda's claimed curb weight* on their 09 CRF450R is 234.8 lbs.
*"Includes all standard equipment, required fluids and full tank of fuel—ready to ride"
"At the heart of the 2010 CRF450R, new ECU programming and fuel-injection settings improve throttle response even further, while the 449.7cc liquid-cooled motor also benefits from a new engine auto-decompressor system for easier kick-starting. Further revisions include the HRC fuel-injection tool now able to be attached without removing the tank and new seals on the front forks with improved valving and oil quantity to give a more planted feel and provide a smoother ride across rough terrains. Meanwhile, the rear shock now features an updated piston and a re-designed compression adjuster for improved damping."
The 4 strokes are so far ahead that when I ride a 250 2 stroke I swear I will never get back on one. I have to try it every so often to see if I still feel the same.
Maybe new technology will bring them back....anything is possible.
