    450r Horsepower ???

    I've heard that it has the same, or a few more than the dirtbike. The CRF450R dirtbike has 54.6 stock. The HRC kit says it adds another 20% horsepower.

    That means...the stock bike, plus a $300 kit for:

    65 horsepower???


    Am i smoking something or is this thing gonna rip that much?

    The quad motor has been de-tuned ,, so with the HRC kit you would be lucky to get back to the HP of a CRF dirt bike

    Bump the compression back up, get the HRC kit and you should be close to the stock power of a crf450.

    I love hondas but I am sorry there is not 50HP in that engine with just that little HRC kit.

    I just sold my CRF450 and it was a great bike but not 50HP.

    there are a lot of other variables to consider ....

    the trx has a different bore and stroke than the dirtbike, it also has smaller exhaust valves and steel intake valves whereas the dirtbike has titanium

    so when compared to the dirtbike

    1. less compression
    2. no FCR
    3. smaller exhaust valves
    4. no titanium intake valves
    5. mild cam

    honestly guys this thing is going to have less than 35hp stock, and maybe less. to get it into the mid 40's you will have to buy a carb and the honda kit and maybe more. I bet the head design is different too

    I was deadset on buying the new honda till I saw the specs
