After releasing a diverse range of motocross bikes, a number of of the primary Honda motorcycles were subjected to a major overhaul. The long wait is now over with the release of 2011 Honda CRF250R and 2011 Honda CRF450R dirt bikes. Evolving from primary models of motocross bikes, both 250R and 450R continue to receive great input from motocross enthusiasts and bike riders alike.

Honda CRF450R comes with a four-valve Unicam engine that can deliver low and mid-range power. A 46mm body is also incorporated into its improved engine tuning in order to improve its throttle response. Along with unique suspension settings, this dirt bike also received revisions on its linkage. With light cartridge cylinders inside its fork as well as updated valves, Honda believes that these changes resulted in better rear-wheel traction and added luxury to their traditional Honda motorcycles. Honda dealers are expected to offer the new and improved CRF450 by October 2011.

Honda also re-invented the 2011 CRF250R motorcycle in a very impressive way. With its new fuel-injected engine, it is expected to deliver superior performance and amazing throttle response. Although its specifications are not yet available, the 250R seems to hold many similarities with the big bike. Its improved midrange and low power, new suspension valves, and larger Honda Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD) piston make it appear like a very worthwhile purchase. Both 250R and 450R also operate on a 94-decibel limit through their improved exhaust mufflers.

CRF50F and CRF70F, two of Hondas smallest dirt bikes, also received a major makeover. Honda upgraded their art work with bolder designs and changed the colour of their upper fork tubes to create a new look and feel to their small but powerful motocross bikes. CRF230F, CRF80F, and CRF100F are still available in dealerships but bike riders can still anticipate the launching of new and improved Honda motorcycles by October.
