Last week Upshift's Simon Cudby got the call from American Honda. "Be at FOX racing HQ on Monday night!" Simon's gotten these calls before and typically it was a co-lab gear launch or the traditional new model release with the expected bold new graphics (BNG's) As he found out this night was to be different. What followed was the much anticipated release of the new street-legal Honda CRF450L, and a new from the ground up CRF450X. The CRF450L has been talked about for many years and we've waited for it patiently. We look forward to riding the new bikes in September!
