Will be interesting to see how that damper helps.

Nice find!
I'm hoping that steering damper is adjustable.

Besides the steering dampner there doesn't seem like a lot of change to the 450. The 250 seems to have a fair bit of change like the high comp pistons and cam and porting changes. Iam not sure about the black graphic's, i will have to see one first before i decide. They still like those twin exhausts on those 250's, everyone i know took them off the 07 model. Well at least we have finally seen it, don't know what all the fuss was about being so secret.
There is one other thing that iam not sure if it was on the 07, was the split sump. Are they using this as a better cooling method? I remember seeing a lot of honda's with larger oil cooled radiators last year.

Go to cyclenews.com if you haven't. They got to ride them. They also say the 450crfx has the damper, though it works from center apparently. the 250crfx doesn't have the damper. since they changed offsets, it would be hard to tell if the damper is working much, though CN says they took it off and liked it better on.

Those 2008 Honda CRF250R & CRF450R bike sure did get gain some weight. Those steering dampers must be heavy.

I wonder if the dampner will mount on the 07 250x.

[ossagp]

238 with fuel doesnt sound like it to me.

[VET393]

The black one looks nice.

Manufacturers specified weights are decieving. I wish they were all on the same page and weighed the bikes race ready without fuel. I don't realy need to know what the dry weight is since I don't ride without coolant, fork oil, brake fluid, engine oil or fuel.

[fwsteal]

Really, the lbs should be basd on all those that Silver_Fox mentioned.

[schwen_108]

sickkkk

[TwistedFMX]

Kind of dissapointed that its not EFI but still looks mint. Cant wait to see how Good/Bad that steering dampner is. Still going to be a big jump from my 02 cr125.

[fwsteal]

same here; was hoping that the 450 would have efi (maybe next year); can't wait to see the 450 in the dealer shops as I've been planning on buying one

[TwistedFMX]
