Overall Review
Need a good comparison on the 2016 Honda CRF450? Well, we have five test riders to give their thoughts on the lightweight, nimble red machine.

The Good

This bike steers really, really good. It's one of the best steering bikes i've ridden. Bottom end it has alot of power and it comes out of the corners perfect. With 2 full seasons of riding, we never have to change one mechanical thing except for the clutch.

The Bad

It feels slow compared to other bikes and taking people over on straightaways is not going to happen easily. The subframe is a complete mess which kept on snapping in half. Also the stock exhaust pipe fell apart. The first clutch plate also broke all the time which means you have to replace your...

Overall Review
The bike is easy to ride and the motor is perfect. I didn't have one mechanical issue besides the clutch. The clutch, subframe and stock exhaust are weak points.

The Good

Great handling and light weight. Instant throttle response with the dual timing fuel injection.

The Bad

Throttle is very touchy but you get use to it.
