Hi, I am about ready to buy a 2008 CRF450 tomorrow, how close is it to the current 450's?
I think it's power is still on par, but not sure if it'll keep up with the KX450F or KTM 450sx ?
Handling should be about the same with fresh suspension?
Thanks, Joe

The only real disadvantage is that is still has a carb, but that's far from a dealbreaker. In my opinion, not having to deal with air forks actually sounds like a bonus.
For what it's worth, I'm buying an 06 tonight and I run +30 and +40 intermediate.
I bought 2007 crf450 triple clamp set and will use to replace the stock clamps and steering damper. I'm not sure which company I'll use to revalve the suspension, but thinking of using the longer link and associated revalve from RG3 or FC or Enzo. After that, I'll be ready when winter ends!
