TAMIYA HONDA CR450R MOTOCROSSER This is a re-release of the 1983 model of the Honda CR450R. It depicts the 1981 variant of the CR450R which Honda released to compete in 500cc class motocross races. The single cylinder 431cc air-cooled 2-stroke engine at the time had the highest output on offer among Honda production motocross models at 51.5hp, plus a semi-double cradle frame using Honda's unique Pro-Link rear suspension. With a dry weight of just 104kg, the lightweight CR450R was used by many 500cc motocross racers across the world. Later, the 1983 variant received a 472cc engine and evolved into the CR480R. |
