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.
