After the success of both Brad Anderson and Ben Townley on the current Honda CRF450R, both taking Monster Energy MX Nationals wins, Carlton Dry Honda Thor Racing’s Yarrive Konsky is predicting more success with the release of the all-new 2013 CRF450R.

Konsky believes that Honda’s all-new MX1 contender with be a class leader, with years of research and development Honda has taken all of their knowledge and put it all together into one bike for 2013.

“It’s a radically improved motorcycle that has taken a decade of research and development from the successful CRF range of motorcycles,” Konsky said. “As a result, the refined 2013 Honda CRF450R improvements to the chassis, engine and ergonomics will make it a class leader.”

Konsky is impressed with Honda’s efforts to continue the research and development during these tough economic times.

“We are very excited with the new model and the new improvements,” he added. “During trying times in the economy, it’s appreciated that Honda are continuing research and development to provide an all-new model. It displays their dedication to continue building better motorcycles.”
