Honda is giving its CRF250R and CRF450R motocross bikes a series of updates for 2014.
Changes to the CRF250R are wide-ranging, with key among them being a new mass-centralised aluminium frame that’s intended to help reduce the motorcycle’s centre of gravity. Complementing it are a redesigned rear swing-arm and recalibrated Showa front forks.

The CRF250R’s single-cylinder engine has been revamped too, with better throttle response and more low-down power coming courtesy of dual-stage fuel injection and modifications to the cylinder head and piston. A new twin exhaust system and wider gear ratios for the five-speed transmission complete the upgrades.
The larger capacity CRF450R was thoroughly revised last year, so the 2014 changes are less extensive.

Nevertheless, it too receives the dual-stage fuel injection system which, combined with altered silencer internals and tweaks to the engine’s intake and exhaust ports, is claimed to result in more torque and a crisper throttle response. The KYB pneumatic upside-down front forks have also been adjusted for improved oil flow and damping characteristics.
Prices for the 2014 Honda CRF250R and CRF450R have yet to be announced, but it’s expected that they’ll both be available from late summer.
