2014 Honda CRF450R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's cross - motocross motorcycle platform, the 2014 Honda CRF450R pairs a 449.7 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 51.4 HP (37.5 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 47.7 Nm (35.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 114.3 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the CRF450R measures 111 kg (245 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.46 HP/kg (2.16 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 953 mm (37.5 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,492 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 6.4-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 170 km/h (106 mph).
