Honda CRF450R weight FAQ
What does the Honda CRF450R weigh ready to ride?
The supplied figures span 234.8 lb (106.5 kg) to 260.1 lb (118 kg) for wet/running weight and 233.2 lb (105.8 kg) to 235.9 lb (107 kg) for dry weight across the years in this page. Wet weight is the better guide to what you actually manage on the road.
Is the Honda CRF450R heavy compared with other Honda motocross bikes?
It sits fairly close to the middle of the category. Its representative wet weight is around the 60th percentile among 21 compatible Honda motocross bikes.
Does the Honda CRF450R weight change by model year?
Not every covered year uses the same figure. The page groups identical values together and lists the later model years where the supplied weight specification changes.
How much does the Honda CRF450R fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 1.5 US gal (5.67 L) to 1.9 US gal (7.2 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 9.3 lb (4.2 kg) to 11.8 lb (5.4 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Honda curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Honda CRF450R with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 424.1 lb (192.3 kg) using the representative wet/running figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
How much horsepower does the Honda CRF450R have per 100 lb?
Where compatible power and weight figures are available, it works out to 21 hp per 100 lb to 21.66 hp per 100 lb. That places it around the 65th percentile within the compatible Honda cross / motocross power-to-weight comparison.

Based on the available dry-weight and tank-capacity data, a full-tank estimate is 243.6 lb (110.5 kg) to 247.7 lb (112.4 kg). Oil, coolant and market-specific equipment can still make actual ready-to-ride weight different.
What is the difference between Honda CRF450R dry and wet weight?
