Riders Tales-The 1981 Honda CR450R-The bike they called The Beast

Motocross has seen its fair share of legendary bikes—and some absolute disasters, but the 1981 Honda CR450R was actually a bit of both. In this series of videos we look at legendary motocross bikes in history, and some that should never have been sold to the general public. In fact, they should really have been banned. You’ll see iconic bikes that dominated championships, revolutionary designs that set new standards, and the models that failed miserably due to poor handling, reliability issues, or just bad decisions from manufacturers. Whether you’re a hardcore racer, a weekend warrior, or just a fan of motocross history, these 4 motocross bikes are the most talked-about machines ever built. Some bikes earned their place with legendary performance, while others are remembered for all the wrong reasons. Which ones do you agree or disagree with?
