First Look At The All New 2013 Honda crf450r - YouTube

 

[coolmodee01]

they look pretty sweet

dont like the idea of the one peice plastic though

still a honda

I think they look like crap, Its almost like a KTM and a YZF have had a baby and this is the result lol.

But it might grow on me.

Yeah me likey a lot.

Loving the dual exhaust setup again. Who cares about performance gains/losses, they look dope.

Yeah not a massive fan of 1 piece plastics but a lot of them are going that way. All new Husky's are like that.

 

[coolmodee01]

yeah $500 + a hit if you break one though

twin pipe ****

They actually sit shorter than a single pipe so less chance of a ding or snapping them.

I just hope all this comes across to the 450X next year.

i wish they kept it like the 2010-2012.. favorite bike the crf450 2012
but im sure it'll grow on me but not keen on crashing and breaking the whole kit and possibly not been able to ride it..
twin exhausts was a good idea for noise and centered weight.
it'll be good just even more expensive if you crash

'Hrmm, YZFs sold pretty well last year.. maybe we should steal their plastics design' - Honda 2013 CRF Developer.


That being said... I actually like it a lot haha

Stock dual pipes are strong i have never had a problem with them, But the aftermarket pipes bend easy where you mount them to the bike, I have had to straighten my FMF silencer mounts countless times from layovers, if you dont they end up getting a beating every time your rear wheel uses the stroke of your shock.

looks pretty mean i recon... I can see joins in those plastics... how are they One peice?
Also, in the promo vid they said 2 mufflers for weight reduction... how is 2 mufflers going to be lighter than one? they dont look less than half the size of last years one to me....

 

[coolmodee01]

they initially on first look looked all one peice

but there just joined wierd... it's actually the crf 110 that has 1 peice plastics

all good as for the dual zorst they will be shorter and a lighter weight alloy smaller size means less has to be used for strength i assume
