Honda Crf450l
The Honda Crf450l has a top speed of 145 km/h (estimated; note: limited by gearing and engine tune for street compliance), produces 34 hp and weighs 134 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
De Honda CRF450L werd in 2019 geïntroduceerd als een op straat legale dual-sportmotorfiets die rechtstreeks is afgeleid van Honda's CRF450R-motorcrossracer, waardoor het een van de meest capabele offroad-straatfietsen is die er zijn. Het was met name de eerste op de CRF450 gebaseerde motorfiets die Honda legaal op de weg maakte voor de wereldmarkt, waardoor de kloof tussen volledige concurrentie en avontuurlijk rijden werd overbrugd. Dankzij het lichte chassis en het DNA dat is afgeleid van de motorcross, onderscheidde hij zich in het segment van de dualsport, hoewel de emissienormen moesten worden aangepast in vergelijking met zijn racegerichte broer of zus.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Tight Valve Intervals
The CRF450L requires valve inspections every 600 miles, which is more frequent than most street bikes. Neglecting this can lead to costly engine damage, so budget time and money for regular checks.
Strong Resale Value
Dual-sport bikes with street-legal enduro capability hold their value exceptionally well, and the CRF450L typically retains 75-85% of its value after two years. Low production numbers keep used market demand high.
Race-Derived Performance
The CRF450L shares its engine DNA with Honda's championship-winning CRF450R motocross bike, giving it serious off-road capability that most adventure bikes can't match. It's been detuned for street use but still produces around 40 hp.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"The best trail bike you can legally ride to the trailhead."
$6,500-$9,500 usedThe CRF450L is essentially a street-legal dirt bike wearing number plates, and you need to go in with that understanding firmly established. Honda took their race-proven CRF450R motocrosser, detuned it significantly for road use, and bolted on lights and mirrors. The result is a genuinely capable dual-sport that weighs around 280lbs wet and makes roughly 40hp — tractable, punchy power that suits trails far better than motorway slogs. Suspension is excellent, the engine is bulletproof if maintained, and the thing handles like nothing else on a forest track. Buying used, check the service history obsessively. The valve inspection intervals are tight at 24 hours or 6,000 miles — many owners ignore this completely. Shim replacement is expensive. Also inspect for crash damage; these bikes attract inexperienced riders who drop them repeatedly. Mileage matters less than maintenance history. Models before the 2022 updates had more aggressive gearing that made highway riding genuinely unpleasant above 65mph. Post-2022 units are notably more liveable.
