Post by: brebel on April 25, 2011, 06:28:57 pm: I realize you would be referring to vintage bikes... but I think the most sought after CR would be a 2001/2002 CR500E that has ADR compliance.

Post by: maicoman on April 27, 2011, 02:05:59 pm: Haven't got a Honda in the collection as yet, but working on it. I'm a fan of the 82 CR 480, but for mind it would be an 87-89 CR 500 or 250.

Yeah but that doesn't mean much to VMXers, CR450 was great looking bike and first open classer, then Honda gave us CR480 which is one of the best open class bikes.

Post by: maicoman on May 05, 2011, 12:56:39 am: I agree the 480 was a top bike and received great reviews, I just don't get the look of the front number plate on the 450. What was the thinking behind that one ???
