Well since the last data loss, this thread was lost to the internet gremlins but here's Round 2!
Snagged this fairly like-new 2022 Honda CRF450RL with just under 75miles and small scuffs from a previous fall. This is planned to be my dedicated offroad bike and I'll be keeping the CB500X as my road bike.
I learned a LOT of lessons from the ADV build on the 500X, and will be implementing all the things I can do with and without. But more importantly, keeping the bike lightweight and less is more.
The bike came stock but with only an upgraded Vortex ECU. It's been flawless just putting around town, as I have yet to get it on the dirt where it belongs...
First brought home Mar-2024:
