Honda CRF450r takes the wins in 2011 again

2011 Honda CRF450R – 1st Place – 96 Points Careful refinement to the CRF450R was enough to put it above the challengers in one of our most competitive shootouts to date. Complaints? Well, the Honda used to be renowned for its braking prowess, but now it’s only midpack, and the nimble handling can be interpreted as twitchy by some riders. That’s small fry compared to the fact that it is clearly the lightest, most compact, quietest and surprisingly fast bike in the group. It’s surprising because the CRF allows its pilot to ride it hard without extracting much energy. The chassis and suspension woes of 2009/2010 are no longer an excuse, and the Honda proved it has the hard numbers to back up our rider impressions with top scores in the objective and subjective score sheets. Three riders picked the Honda as the bike they would spend their own money on, but it didn’t even need the extra credit to win this year’s shootout.

Honda CRF250r takes the win again in 2011

Honda CRF250R – 1st Place – 94 Points
Once again Honda proves that a bike is the sum of its parts. In the case of the 2011 CRF250R, those parts are all really, really good. In a division that lives and dies with the engine, Honda proves that it can give up a bit of bravado in exchange for a bit of poise and control. The suspension really takes the cake this year. If Suzuki could get its suspension to work this well then it would likely claim the title. As it stands, Honda has it all figured out. The chassis works in perfect harmony with the rest of the bike and its ergonomics are a class standard. It’s all fine and dandy for the moment, but the target on Honda’s back is going to be bigger and heavier than ever before.
