Honda CR450R Dirt Bike (1981)

The 1981 Honda CR450R, also known as the CR450RB or CR450RA Elsinore, was a significant, albeit short-lived, model in Honda's motocross lineup. It marked Honda's first foray into open-class production bikes. This model featured a two-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with a displacement of 431 cc (sometimes referred to as 449cc), producing 52.9 hp. It was equipped with a 4-speed transmission. For the 1981 model year, there was primarily one trim offered, the CR450R. A notable technological advancement for this specific year was the adoption of Honda's Pro-Link single-shock rear suspension system. The 1981 CR450R was a standalone model produced for only one season. It was replaced in 1982 by the CR480R, which featured an upsizing of the motor to 472 cc and a revised powerband, making the CR450R a precursor to later models. FAQ:
