2012 450 Dirt Bike Lineup
We covered the street, now it’s time to hit the dirt. The 2012 450 dirt bike lineup is going to be awesome. I’m pretty stoked to see how the new CRF450R and KX450F are gonna hold up against each other. Me personally I’m Team Green, because out of all the bikes, Kawasaki has always been the most powerful and reliable in my opinion. Now I’m sure thats gonna stir up some heated debated for the Yamaha, and Honda fans, but i’m staying true to the KX.
But enough talk, lets get into it, and take a breif look at this years 450s. Enjoy!
