CRF450L

All-New Dual Sport Motorcycle

Using the CRF450R moto-crosser as a base, Honda’s new dual-purpose motorcycle has a tough, lightweight chassis built to find all the available grip, powered by an engine that delivers strong, usable power right from the bottom. While offering maximum enjoyment for the off-road hobby rider, the CRF450L is also fully street legal and street-ready, with side stand, increased fuel tank volume and all-LED lighting. Durable, high quality parts and long service intervals – with a first major service at 19,800 miles – aim for a worry-free riding and ownership experience.


OTR Price: £9,469

1. The 2019 Honda CRF450L hits the scales at well under 136.1 kg with its 9.1 lt titanium fuel tank filled with high test. For comparison, that means the street-legal CRF450L weighs just 6.35 kg more than the emissions-friendly off-road CRF450X and only 19 kg more than the CRF450R supercross racer. That is absolutely impressive, and bodes well for the CRF450L’s performance off-road, as well as on pavement.

2. The 2019 Honda CRF450L’s chassis and motor are slightly modified versions of the new CRF450R motocross racer. We’re used to seeing compromised frame and suspension, in addition to a motor that is either outdated or vaguely related to the top performers off-road. In the case of the CRF450L, Honda didn’t cut corners and went straight to the same parts bin used by the racing motorcycles.

3. Many of the changes to make the CRF450L are replicated transformation of the CRF450R the CRF450X. You still get high-end adjustable Showa suspension, an aluminum frame, and the potent Unicam power plan.

4. To go from an off-road bike to a street-legal motorcycle did require a number of changes. The 2019 Honda CRF450L gets different ECU settings for cleaner running, a more restrictive airbox to quiet things down, various emissions-controlling doo-dads, a fan for the thermostat-controlled high-capacity radiators, a more powerful AC generator for the streetable LED lighting, a stronger lithium-ion battery, rubber-damped steel sprockets, thicker case covers to deaden noise, a dedicated box for electronics, mirrors, switchgear, DOT-legal IRC rubber, and oddly enough, urethane injected into the swingarm to make it quieter. All that adds just 6.35 kg to the CRF450L—amazing.
