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.

A Honda CRF450L foi introduzida em 2019 como uma motocicleta esportiva dupla legal para uso na rua, derivada diretamente do piloto de motocross CRF450R da Honda, tornando-a uma das bicicletas off-road mais capazes disponíveis. Foi notavelmente a primeira motocicleta baseada na CRF450 que a Honda tornou legal para os mercados globais, preenchendo a lacuna entre a competição total e a condução de aventura. Seu chassi leve e seu DNA derivado do motocross fizeram com que ele se destacasse no segmento de esportes duplos, embora a conformidade com as emissões exigisse uma redução em comparação com seu irmão voltado para corridas.

O que os compradores devem saber

🔧

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.

Dual-sport riders prioritising off-road over commuting

"The best trail bike you can legally ride to the trailhead."

$6,500-$9,500 used

The 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.
