New bike shootouts are kinda like car crashes. When they happen most of us are going to drive by and look at them as they happen. Now I will say that not all shootouts are great, as sometimes I think that they have become a little too subjective and can be open to misinterpretation. I…
I have spent a lot of time testing on the 2023 MX machines you see below. I have went back and forth on several bikes to see which gearing would be good for the average rider. I did the evaluations on tight clay based tracks to flowing sandier based type desert courses. Since the word…
So you don't like the way your hydraulic clutch cable is routed on your new Honda CRF450R? No stress, neither did we, so here is an example through photos on how to route your clutch cable behind the front number plate like a normal dirt bike.

Keefer talks about what it is like to ride the new 2023 Honda CRF250RX/450RX as well as who could these bikes be best for, how they handle moto/off-road and how off-road legend Johnny Campbell received a 30 year achievement award from American Honda.
The 2023 Honda CRF250R is the exact same bike as the 2022 version. With the 2022 being new, Honda left things alone for 2023, which isn’t a horrible thing. The fork is firm for anyone below 170 pounds so getting that dialed does take some work. However, unlike the CRF450R the CRF250R is not as…
Do you have a little grom that wants to ride but maybe you can’t get him or her out the track as much as you like because you are pressed for time? I stuck my son Aden on a small electric motorcycle when he was five years old because he could ride in the backyard…
