Australasian Dirt Bike — January 2018

(sharon) #1

t’s that time of year again, when
dealerships start to fill with the
latest motocross bikes. It’s an
exciting period for everyone
involved, including the customers
laying down their cash, the
dealers doing the selling and, of
course, the ADB journos who go
’bar-to-’bar on the new weapons.
For 2018 we have a great list of 450s to
test, including the relatively unchanged
KTM, Husqvarna and Kawasakis up against
the completely revamped Yamaha and
Suzuki machines. The updated 2018 Honda
CRF450R failed to arrive in time but fear
not, button pushers, the red machine will
be put up against our 450cc shootout
winner upon arrival.
