Hi,
I am about ready to buy a 2008 CRF450 tomorrow, how close is it to the current 450's?
I think it's power is still on par, but not sure if it'll keep up with the KX450F or KTM 450sx ?
Handling should be about the same with fresh suspension?
Thanks,
Joe

I should pull it down and go through it and turn it into a 2014 replica.
THe handling and power on that bike was great, I'd bet a good national pro could still get a top 15 finish on one today.
Still have mine too, love the thing! I still have a soft spot for the 2-strokes (CR250), but after having a left ankle fusion, I can't quite shift the same as before…so I grab this one, put it in 3rd and pretty much leave it there. Strong, reliable motor, great handling, brakes and clutch are on point…
I haven't tried out a '13 or '14 Honda yet, but I don't think I would trade the '08 for the '09-'12 version CRF. Great bike!
The 08'......what can I say....it's the best bike I've ever owned. I just wish I could some how slap the suspension I had on my 2010 YZF450 on it.....the thing would feel like a factory bike!
Cool Dobe in your av too.

Came with a Big Gun header and slip-on. Anyone have any feedback on the Big Gun system?
