Overview
The Honda CRF450L is a dual-sport motorcycle produced for 2019–2020. For 2020, its 449 cm³ naturally aspirated, four-stroke single makes 44 hp (33 kW) and 48 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm; wet weight is 131.1 kg.
The 942 mm seat is 18 mm lower than the 2019 model’s, though it still places the rider high when stopping. The 305 mm front and 312 mm rear wheel travel, adjustable Showa suspension, and 315 mm ground clearance suit rough ground, while the 131.1 kg wet weight is a consideration when maneuvering slowly. It starts by kick, and its chain final drive needs cleaning and adjustment.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable Showa suspension
Rebound and compression damping can be adjusted at both ends, with rear spring preload adjustment as well, so the suspension can be tailored to the rider and terrain.
Off-road clearance and travel
The 315 mm ground clearance and more than 300 mm of travel at each wheel help the bike handle uneven ground.
Things to consider
Tall seat
At 942 mm, the seat can make it harder for shorter riders to put a foot down securely at stops.
Kick start only
Starting by kick means there is no electric-start option for a quick push-button start.
Chain final drive
The chain needs regular cleaning and adjustment, unlike a shaft drive.
