Are you ready for A Duel Sport CRFX???? Take this survey then..

[ridered55]

I don't believe the 450X would pass emissions in its current form. Would need some sort of catalytic converter and cannister assembly for street wouldn't it?

I love the idea of a street legal 450x, and I did fill out the form, but I don't know how much I'd be willing to give up on current performance, weight, etc. to get the street version. I think it would just end up being an overly heavy, underpowered bike compared to the current X.

I suspect that Honda is going to go along with the hints in the questionaire and get their toes wet with the small electric bike and continue to ignore the performance-oriented dual-sport market KTM and Husqvarna currently participate in.

The closest they'll get is maybe one day they look to dual-sport with a full-sized electric model when the battery tech, etc. gets there.

I had a plated X for awhile and have to admit that it certainly was cool, but I don't have plans to go through the cost/hassle to try and plate my new '09 450X.

Have you ridden a KTM EXC 450/530.. I have and granted, they are not as light or powerful as my CFR R, or an X,, but it IS a great dirt bike with a plate! I guess I should of titled the tread " X with a plate" cause thats all I want, A DIRT bike plated!.... I don't want a totally redesigned fat street pig with knobbies, that is built to last 100,000 miles... I think they could increase oil capacity, plate it, and sell the crap out of them ..... ?

Over 800 hits and only 20 took the survey,, we gotta do better than that guys!

Why would I want a factory dual sport based on the CRFX? So I can have a heavier, slower, less power and more choked up CRF450X? It's so easy to dual sport the X, I've got a stripped down BD kit on mine and it rolls just fine. Last thing I want is more beauracracy adding more weight, less power and more restrictions on this platform.

very few states will let you plate a crf right now

My registration is up for renewal this month in Texas. Hopefully there won't be any problems ala Cali revoking plates a few years ago.

You live in a Off road friendly state, most of us are not that lucky. A ds X for you means nothing as u could probably plate an R there... Everyone seams to think the X is gonna gain huge amounts of weight. I bet horn, blinkers, chain guard, and 1 or 2 more things I'm probably forgeting about, and then pay the C.A.R.B for the certificate, its done...

No it's not!

Your fault for living in that nazi state. I know at least 5 states that are easily plateable for 450x's: AZ, ID, UT, NV, CO.

It's so much easier to un-dual sport a bike?

Yup, lets keep what we got and never wish for anything new from Honda! Regulations are going to keep boning us if we cannot register our 450X's legally or renew them. I wonder how many loyal Honda riders will jump ship and drink the "orange kool-aid"? Or buy the first updated dual sport from one of the four Japanese manufacturers.

How about something along the lines of this, weights good. Passing emissions with a 39mm Kehin. Six speed, back up kick starter. I am assuming when it has fuel and oil the weight would be comparable to the X?

This really is only about a 1K more over a CRF450X

You can plate a CR125 in MS.
