The 2026 Honda CRF450R is a 450cc motocross race bike built on a liquid-cooled Unicam four-stroke single with a 44mm throttle body and 96mm bore. Priced at $9,699 new in Red at Honda of Houston, it rolls on a 58.3-inch wheelbase with 13.1 inches of ground clearance, a 260mm front disc, and a 37.8-inch seat height ready for moto-length sessions at area tracks.

About the CRF450R

The 2026 CRF450R is Honda's premier motocross platform, built to race in the 450 class against the YZ450F, KX450, and KTM 450 SX-F. The 450cc Unicam single pushes through a close-ratio five-speed, and 49mm Showa forks paired with the Pro-Link Showa shock deliver 12.2 inches of travel at both ends. At 249 pounds wet, it's race-ready out of the crate with Dunlop MX33 rubber and a 13.5:1 compression ratio tuned for fuel-injected response. Honda of Houston has five of them in stock, all new 2026 models at MSRP.

Houston-Area Fit

MX tracks are in full season right now, and Rio Bravo MX Park is right here in Harris County for weekend motos without a long tow. Temps in the 70s and lower humidity mean you can run multiple sessions without cooking inside your gear. Freestone Raceway in Wortham is the step up when you want a race-quality facility, about two and a half hours north. This is not street-legal, so budget for a truck and trailer if you don't already have one.

What maintenance does the CRF450R require?

Honda recommends oil changes after every few hours of ride time, and valve clearance checks at regular intervals given the 13.5:1 compression ratio and Unicam SOHC valvetrain. Air filter service should happen after every ride in dusty MX conditions, and the #520 chain and sprockets (13T/49T) need cleaning and tension checks before each session. Consult your owner's manual for Honda's specific hour-based service schedule.
