Winning magazine shootouts as well as the hearts of serious off-road riders, the CRF250X offers a rare combination of light weight and tractable power in one of the best handling packages in the off-road world.

Built for the unique demands of enduro and cross-country racing, the CRF250X's uncanny combination of wide, tractable powerband and rugged, lightweight chassis allow it to go almost anywhere you — or the course designer — can imagine. You'll love the way the Unicam four-stroke engine's immense torque hauls you out of sticky situations. Top-shelf Showa suspension keeps everything under control, with a huge range of adjustability so you can get the ride just the way you like it. And for 2008, new wave-style brake rotors, a lighter muffler, a new front tire, and ignition timing changes add up to even better performance and lower lap times.

With its awesome balance of power, handling, weight and size, the CRF250X is the perfect off-roader for trail riders and pro racers alike. Start with its impeccable CRF250R pedigree, add electric start, wide-ratio gearing, new-for-2008 ignition timing, new brake rotors and a slimmed-down fuel tank, and once again Honda has proven the best can get better.

2009 Honda CRF450X

By winning the world-renowned Baja 500 and Baja 1000 races, the immensely popular CRF450X has earned its crown as the new King of Baja, and now in 2008 it grows more versatile than ever before.

Here's a bike that can win right out of the box, while also being quite willing to go along on those fun trail rides with your buddies. The CRF450X's 449 cc liquid-cooled Unicam four-stroke engine produces huge low-end and midrange power to get you through the gnarliest sections, yet it maintains incredibly strong top-end performance for when the trail straightens out. And for 2008 the CRF450X handles even better, thanks to the new Honda Progressive Steering Damper tucked neatly behind the front number plate. Other upgrades include lighter wave-style brake rotors front and rear, and a slimmer fuel tank for improved ergonomics.

After winning every Baja race it‘s entered, the CRF450X has established its racing cred—and then some. Hands down, it‘s the best big-bore trail bike ever built. And this year, it gets even better, with fine-tuning that includes a new Honda Progressive Steering Damper, chassis upgrades, and a slimmer fuel tank. Call it perfection, improved.

Sepang

The tests in Sepang, maybe one of the most positive test in Rossi’s career, as stated by the seven time World Champion, could have been even better if …that sensor line connected to the front brakes and/or to the fork of his M1 was not bent by the upper fender! Yes, if you pay attention to the details of the above picture you will notice that under braking the line ended up out of the plastic instead of staying loose close to the forks.

Indeed today was a great day for Vale: he went faster of the previous two days considering that he was able to put ride 14 laps at 2’01 and his best lap, the 20th it was at 2’01.437, almost a second faster than his best lap in his last Gp in Malaysia.
In the interview at the end of the day beside recalling the work done on the electronic, the engine and the elimination of a vibration generated from the front tire, Rossi appeared extremely satisfied not only with his record, but especially with the consistence in his long runs, at race pace. To go fast until the end of the test he had to change a bit his lines to keep working with the tires: this is exactly what it helped him in winning his last few World championships. When everybody else was slowing down because of lack of grip he was squaring off the turns spinning the rear. Now I doubt that he did that today considering the traction control on the new bikes, but I am sure that a different arch must have give him some unused rubber for his final laps.
Last but not least, he pointed out that it has been a long time since last time he had so much pleasure in riding, and now he cannot wait the Jerez’s tests to ride with the rest of his competitors. Read more on this article...
