Motorcycle specifications HondaCRF 450 R 2020 More control
presentation of the CRF 450 R 2020
After being thoroughly modernized in 2019, the Honda CRF 450 R evolves again in 2020 with the adoption of the HSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control) torque control system.hSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control) torque control system, which works in harmony with the HRC-developed starting aid system and the PGM-FI fuel injection system mappings.
the 3 modes of the new HSTC torque control system act to minimize rear-wheel grip losses (synonymous with lost time) by optimizing grip and traction.
without the need for a speed sensor, this system maintains full sensitivity to the throttle while managing power. Its effectiveness comes from precise intervention in ignition timing and fuel injection when abnormal variations in engine speed are detected. The HSTC system can be completely deactivated, automatically reverting to the last selected mode when the engine is restarted.
like the 250, the CRF 450 R is equipped with new, more efficient and longer-lasting rear brake pads and new suspension settings to enhance low-speed compression damping under hard braking.

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 8 reviews
I chose the brand and displacement of a 4-stroke because it was low-maintenance (slower engine with oil bath lubrication), but less powerful than a 2-stroke with the same displacement, hence the 450 displacement. To tell the truth, a 250 CR 2-stroke would have been more than enough, and it also met my needs in terms of power, but not in terms of maintenance, noise, etc...
The KTM, the other queen of the field, was also on my mind, but having bad memories of the Swedish brand, I didn't want to fall back into the horrors of the past, and even though I know that they've made a lot of progress since then, particularly in terms of reliability, and that today their bikes are up to scratch, I preferred the Honda. So a Honda 4-stroke powerful enough to have fun, what choice did I have?
The 350 CRF L and the 450 CRF.
So I chose the 450 CRF, and I don't regret it.
Pleasant and versatile, smooth and brutal at the same time, powerful but not too powerful, inexpensive to maintain, in short, it's a joy to ride, as those with a vocabulary would say... One criticism, however, but valid for all the bikes in the line-up, is the height of the seat...
Which wouldn't be a problem with a starter, but until 2016 they weren't equipped with one, and as I have a 2016 model... However I'm aware that to have a good riding position and good ground clearance, the bike has to be high, but this is problematic when you have to kick...
So despite my 1m80, I do it on the workshop stand or leaning against a wall, otherwise it's a bit difficult, the seat being perched at 95cm... In summary, you can go for it, I don't think this bike will disappoint you. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Christopher
