Honda CRF450R 2017

Honda has hit the jackpot with the new 2021 CRF450R. Through constant further development, we find a true handling monster with the 2021 model year. Comparisons with the 250 in terms of handling cannot be dismissed out of hand. Thanks to electronic aids, the power delivery is no longer as demanding as on 450s.
Yamaha YZ450F 2016

The engine of the YZ450F is powerful and somewhat aggressive, but can be optimised via mappings. What is very noticeable about the YZ450F is the strong intake noise from the engine, but you quickly get used to it. The handling is also very good and the gears are easy to shift. Unlike the 250, the YZ450F GYTR is a little lighter and nicer to ride than the standard 450. The chassis responds well, works very well and is very easy to handle. This makes it suitable for the hobby rider.
