Whoever designed that bike - should take a bow. It's one of the most compelling executions of line and form I have ever seen.

That's what I've been wanting to know.......the picture above is a legit pic, yes I know we've seen the mxgp CRF's but that colorless pic above is part of a patent Honda filed for or something of that nature.

It's really cool how the bike draws air like it does from the bottom of the side panels through those ducts

I thought I had read at least the one Gajser is riding was to be "a lot lighter" than the current generation / models.

Now is Suzuki’s chance to rise and shine. Throw dual exhaust on the new RMZ-450 and 250 and people will be throwing money at them. Silly

Wow -- both 6.1 kg and 3.3kg down?

That's 9.4 kg down!

There was a thread created around those patents, definitely production looking and follows what Tim's bike is like. I couldnt care less about 1 less exhaust or hydro clutch ...but things that excite me is:

Less rigid frame, the spars are thinner, should be a lot easier to setup and more forgiving on rougher tracks
Centre exhaust port hints at more power (not that the CRF needed it), perhaps the extra power is better placed?
New bodywork
Integrated mapping/traction control switch gear (yay!)
Lighter weight

...but, without two mufflers, how will it keep from falling over to the right?

wasn't that the marketing propaganda?

Maybe Honda finally realized that riders want a lighter machine...

Funny that it says left side view, a rear wheel steering front wheel drive bike would be some serious innovation 😂

From the “right side” of that patient picture it looks like the 450r will get a hydraulic clutch now as well.
