HONDA CRF450RL REVIEW | Downsize your adventure?

We take the opportunity to ride Honda's CRF450RL in three different builds from stock to sensible mods and then we take things just a little further and jump on Daryl Beattie's own 450RL. All mods are listed below.

Come for the downpour and the epic riding, stay for the schnitty and the salacious sauna scene. We crammed a lot into the two-day ride and we came away with our eyes wide open to the possibility of a 450 Honda adventure bike.

Massive thanks to Guy Streeter/MX Store for the footage.

The bike mods:
1 X Stock CRF450RL.
1 X Derestricted, Vortex ignition, IMS 3-gallon tank, Michelin Starcross tyres.
1X Derestricted, Vortex ignition, IMS 3-gallon tank, Michelin Starcross tyres, FMF exhaust system, Seat Concepts seat.
