After winning every Baja race it's entered, the CRF450X has established its racing cred—and then some. Hands down, it's the best big-bore trail bike ever built. And this year, it gets even better, with fine-tuning that includes a new Honda Progressive Steering Damper, chassis upgrades, and a slimmer fuel tank. Call it perfection, improved.
