A fair way down. I had my '84 KX500 registered and rode it in quite a few enduros and it was crap to ride in the tighter stuff. I imagine a CR450 wouldn't be any better.  :-\

Probably stuck in a cloud of steam at the bottom of a mud bog cursing the 4 speed gearbox and mx powerband.  :)

I rode a CR480 in an enduro once. It was a real handful with stock gearing. Stalled in the tight stuff, ripped the bars out of my hands anytime I gassed it. Fun in a kinda masochistic way...

Too much of a good thing is sometimes just too much of a good thing  :P. And sometimes too much is just too much.  ;)

Looks like it would be a handfull but then I remembered I used to trailride a KX 420
It was good in the bush but not a lot of fun in the real tight stuff (read Wonthaggi six hour)

jeez what a shame Honda didn't market a big bore 2 smoke enduro like that, I reckon it's bloody nice! 8)
anything is registerable, it's just a matter of finding the correct loophole ;)

Rode my RM400 many many many times over many many many years on forestry and trail rides and it wasn't a bad thing at all. 1 finger clutch operation made it so much easier but the non primary kick is a real pisser when you get stuck half way up a steep hill or up to your axles in bog ::)

thanks for that Gaston pic too btw Noel..meant to reply but been a little hectic of late ;)

Isn't that a UK number plate on the bike?

It would not be my first choice to ride into a bottomless English bog.  :D
