Honda Motorcycles Australia has confirmed its all-new 2019 CRF450L will land in dealerships across the country as soon as this month at a recommended retail price of $12,999.

The new CRF450L is a true street-legal dirt bike that offers the reliability, refinement and quality of a Honda, along with the handling and power of Honda’s best off-road machines.

It features a powerful 449cc Unicam engine, twin-spar aluminium CRF chassis, six-speed transmission and premium suspension. Its versatility means you can ride anywhere a registered motor vehicle is permitted, or alternatively, you can turn into a race-ready off-road contender, with a selection of performance parts set to be available.

The CRF450L utilises an electric start to ensure trouble-free starting in all conditions and drives the clutch side of the crankshaft to provide superior lubrication to starter gears while producing a narrow engine with a short, strong crank.

The CRF450L has a six-speed gearbox that gives riders a low gear perfect for tight, slow situations and a top gear that’s tall enough for highway riding.

Honda is slated to host a number CRF450L customer test ride events during September and October in various states across Australia. For more information, visit www.motorcycles.honda.com.au.
