HONDA COMPETITION MOTORCYCLES

The same bike that wins pro-level enduro events is also the perfect choice for trail riding with your friends. That’s the beauty of the Honda CRF450X. Sure, it makes huge power, thanks to a 449 cc liquid-cooled Unicam four-stroke engine with electric start that’s tuned to produce strong low-end and midrange performance to help tame the toughest terrain. And of course the chassis has all the latest go-fast goodies, including a light but strong twin-spar aluminum frame, fully adjustable Showa inverted cartridge fork, Honda Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD), and trail-smoothing Pro-Link rear suspension. Power and handling – it’s a combination that both pros and weekend warriors can appreciate.

If you’ve always considered second place to be the first loser, then you certainly don’t want to settle for second best with your ride. You want the bike that revolutionized open-class motocross. You want a Honda CRF450R. For 2012 the mighty CRF450R boasts a bunch of improvements, all designed to keep you on top of the box. Stronger fork outer tubes and axle collars, stiffer fork springs and revised suspension settings all help to improve front-end tracking. Out back, a new shock linkage and revised shock calibration give you even more confidence over rough terrain. New footpegs are wider and longer for better support, and premium Dunlop MX51 tires provide further proof that the CRF450R doesn’t scrimp on quality components. Because when fractions of a second separate winner from loser, only the best will do.

No compromises. If you’re looking for an enduro bike that includes everything you need to win races — or bragging rights with your trail-riding friends — the Honda CRF250X must be at the top of your list. Twist the throttle, and hang on while the 249 cc Unicam four-stroke engine’s immense torque and broad powerband hauls you out of sticky situations or rockets you over the whoops. Premium Showa suspension keeps everything under control, plus it allows a huge range of adjustability so you can get the ride just the way you like it. And with standard electric start and enduro headlight, taillight and odometer, all you need are some stick-on numbers to enjoy the thrill of off-road competition.

Perfect balance. In a ski racer, it can lead to faster runs. In a motocross bike, it can lead to shorter lap times. The Honda CRF250R can’t help your skiing, but it sure can help you to fill up your trophy shelf in a big hurry. A new cylinder head and camshaft combined with a new 46 mm throttle body in the battery-less Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system produce a broader powerband with more low-end and midrange torque. But thrilling engine performance is just half of the CRF250R’s winning formula – its chassis, in perfect balance with the new engine characteristics, gives you the extra confidence you need to drive deeper into corners and power harder through the whoops. For 2012, a new rear suspension linkage along with updated settings front and rear make this great-handling bike an even bigger threat on the track. Plus, we know you’ll love the longer and wider footpegs and the premium Dunlop MX51 tires.

High quality equipment can straighten the learning curve in just about any sport – especially motocross. If you’re committed to becoming a better rider, the Honda CRF150RB has proven to be the quickest way to learn the secrets of cutting faster lap times. This is a serious motocross bike with seriously high-tech components, including a high-revving 149 cc liquid-cooled Unicam™ engine that for 2012 benefits from a new cylinder head, piston, camshaft and carburetor accelerator pump. The result? Improved power, torque and driveability throughout the powerband, making the CRF150RB even easier to ride fast. And with the handling benefits of a semi-double-cradle frame with aluminum swingarm and Showa™ suspension – with updated calibration for 2012 – you’ll quickly learn the fastest way through the toughest sections. The Honda CRF150RB: learn with the best.

The CRF150R is the first four-stroke in its class, with a 149 cc Unicam engine that produces the same sort of broad powerband and meaty low-end torque as the bigger CRFs. Power comes on less abruptly compared to a two-stroke engine, there’s less shifting required, and even the enhanced engine braking helps when diving into corners. Of course, there’s no messy mixing of gas and oil required, and the CRF150R is even easier on the environment than a comparable two-stroke motocross bike. The CRF150R gives you all the advantages of four-stroke power, plus the handling benefits of a high-tech semidouble cradle frame with aluminum swingarm and fully adjustable Showa suspension. And everywhere you look you’ll see the same high quality and excellent fit and finish as on all Honda CRFs.
