My guess is it’s purely a strategic marketing move since more places are open out there.

I.e. more riding and buying

I don’t believe this to be true... California is literally sold out of off-road stuff. I would think they would show up out here first.

You guys happy with these bikes? Say on one at the dealer and it felt good. Thinking about getting it as my bike this year. That or a KTM 350.

No. I came across it and thought it looked nice, so thought I'd share it here instead of starting another 2021 CRF thread.

Might give owner's of the new bike some design ideas for their build.

Just put the third ride on the bike and hit 5.5 hours. Today I just took it out on a tight turn track and messed with the three maps. The first two rides I went right to map three I was at snake creek in Delaware and it was slightly muddy. Map three felt fine other then in the parking lot or riding slow. The rich feeling is definitely there but not unrideable. Now today on my turn track which is mostly second gear maps one and two were terrible. The track is very tight slow and is all about being smooth. Map three was the only map I felt comfortable enough to ride with no clutch, as the other feels like the bike is going to stall even though it doesn’t. The bike is great other wise I do not regret my decision.

They call it as they see it. In the 80’s they were Honda Action, mid 90’s to early 2000’s Yamaha Action and then went full KTM. Build the best bike and get the reward.

best bike on "showroom floor" fixed it for you. Had the KTM's come with shitty mapping the last several years they would go from first to last. Point is, the best bike doesn't necessarily win, just the best on the floor. I'll take the Honda all day long if all I have to do is re-map and re-valve, which I do anyway. That's why shootouts are a joke. Better to just list the showroom bikes faults and leave it at that.

Finally got mine in Australia. Dropped a graphics kit on it. Suspension was pretty much bang on what dave Pingree spoke about. Once I played around I got a lot better feel.
Does anyone know when Pro circuit may have a pipe available for the 21? Understand there isn’t much trick stuff out there but thought the USA riders might hear something before we know. Does anyone else bike not start to well on the first few try’s? Mainly from cold it takes a few goes at starting it before it will fire.although not exactly cold here in oz.

Worked with Backyard Designs on graphics, wanted to keep the original design but blue chrome instead of regular blue, and add our sponsors. They definitely nailed it.
We have a 3 week break from Arenacross at the moment so we sent the ECU to Twisted Dev and the suspension to Merge.
My son has been racing since the age of 4 and we normally go through 2 bikes a year. He said this is the first bike in many years that has excited him.

Mine finally arrived here in Brazil! A close friend also got one and the first ride should be on Saturday.


Already installing the graphics kit.




I think only around 20 units of the 2021 CRF450R will be available in Brazil, which is ridiculously low compared to previous years.

Amazing bikes. This thread delivers! I’m really hoping they produce way more models for 22 and hope pricing is a bit less steep. And by then the aftermarket stuff will hopefully be in abundance.
