This like-new 2006 Honda CRF 450X Motocross Motorcycle has 3 original miles and is in fresh out of the crate factory stock condition. Introduced in 2002 as the four-stroke successor to the two-stroke CR250R, the Honda CRF450R would soon dominate its motocross competition. The Honda CRF450X made its debut in 2005 as the enduro edition of the CRF450R motocross-focused machine. Sweeping changes to the CRF450R line in 2005 made their way into the new 450X model which takes trail –riding to a whole new level. It was designed to tame the toughest terrain with broader torque, wider gear ratios and enduro-spec suspension. The electric-start CRF450X was advertised as quite simply the ultimate open-class off-road machine. This 18-year old example is in like-new condition throughout with no visible signs of wear. It was purchased by MS CLASSIC CARS in June of 2024 and October of 2024 is the first time it's been listed for sale.

The lightweight 47mm inverted Showa twin-chamber cartridge fork with aluminum dampers is derived from the CRF450R and features settings unique to the CRF450X. The forks offer 12.4 inches of travel, 16-position rebound and 16-position compression damping. The swing arm features a dual axis, double taper design with a large cast aluminum cross-member offering high strength and light weight.

It has 240mm front and rear brake discs. The rear brake pedal and shift lever are made of lightweight aluminum and are designed to complement the riding position. The brake pedal features optimized ratio to match integrated rear brake master cylinder design. The T-ring sealed chain is stronger and lighter compared to conventional O-ring chains. The chain guide material offers durable wear resistance and service life is five times greater than conventional materials. The powerful four-stroke 449cc liquid-cooled four-valve Unicam engine is designed to produce power across a wide RPM band for off-road riding. The crankshaft is made of high-strength, low carbon steel with carburized main journals for maximum durability at sustained high-rpm operation. Unicam valve train features a carburized single camshaft that directly actuates two 35mm titanium intake valves. The camshaft exhaust lobe actuates two 30mm steel exhaust valves via a forked, low friction and roller rocker arm. The engine has a Nikasil cylinder lining which is lightweight and provides cooler operation for extended engine life. It has forged 12.0:1 compression slipper piston is lighter than a conventional design, revving quickly while maintaining excellent cylinder sealing and high-rpm power.
