Akrapovic Evolution Muffler System (2020 Honda CRF450R)

This is embarrassing, but I am going to be completely honest here… I think about the Honda CRF450R a lot. More than other machines. I mean I will literally wake up in the middle of the night and think of things to test in order to try and make the Honda chassis calm down a…

No Suzuki didn't change anything on the RM-Z 250 in 2020, but that doesn't stop me from giving you some on track testing info on what it’s like to ride. I recently picked up my 2020 RM-Z 250 test bike and went out to a few tracks to get a re-fresher course on what it’s…
