CRF450R 2009

Introduction

The meteoric rise of the invincible CRF450R has taken it to the highest realms of Supercross, motocross, desert, endurance, flat-track and Supermoto where it relentlessly punishes the competition time and time again.

Constantly stepping up its game, the 2009 model is ready to dominate the battlefield once again with a new fuel injection system, more speed, more control, more reliability, more power and more performance. The only thing there’s less of is weight, making it the lightest and most manoeuvrable machine in its class!

Better jumping performance

The new CRF450R is slimmer, lighter and smoother, with a lower centre of gravity making control in the air easier. Aerodynamics have been honed for bullet-like projection through the air. Improved mass centralisation and lighter weight minimise inertia feel for a sensation of accomplished control and expert handling. Torque feeling is improved everywhere and overall performance is fast, slick and exhilarating. This latest evolution is set to fly the CRF flag high at the pinnacle of motocross achievement, the peak of joygiving aerobatic performance. Weekend warriors and factory pros alike - get ready to test your limits and bring even the toughest competition to its knees.

Features

• New lightweight, batteryless fuel injection/ignition system delivers enhanced performance, a wider, higher power range and improved power delivery, as well as kick-start capability.
