Today Honda announces the first models in its 2011 line-up, Off Road models.

Honda introduces a new and improved CRF450 and CRF250 in its motocross range. These join the CRF150 which all comply with the new FIM noise regulation. The broader Off Road range also includes the recreational CRF70 and CRF50 models with exciting new Honda graphics.
Following the introduction of the FIM noise regulation in Europe, Honda has developed the CRF450R and CRF250R 2011 models to comply with the new legislation. Further improvements have also been made in mid range power delivery with a new ECU mapping and narrower throttle body.

Roger Harvey, HME Off Road Race Manager said, “Honda engineers have worked extremely hard in creating an improved package, making a substantial number of subtle changes that improve the ‘R’ models overall and at the same time complying with the new FIM noise regulation”.

2010 World Championship Grand Prix winner, Tanel Leok from Estonia was very impressed with the performance and handling of the new CRF450R. While testing, Tanel also rode the new 2011 CRF250R. “This is the first time I have ridden a 4-stroke 250 since earlier in my career. I was amazed at the lap times I could achieve on the new CRF250R. It’s an outstanding bike”.



The CRF150R continues to be the machine of choice for young riders who race in the Honda Racing Xtreme Academy. The Academy offers intense motocross competition, and is the perfect preparation for stepping up to the larger capacity 4-stroke machines and competing at World Championship level in MX1 and MX2.





Honda Access Europe now offer a range of 2011 HRC-branded accessories which will add styling, improve durability and improve weight reduction to aid handling. Developed in conjunction with the 2011 CRF250R and CRF450R, the accessories can be fully integrated as part of the overall models.
