And The Winner Is...
So what bike wins? The law of averages says it is the Honda CRF450R. Why? Because with our large number of test riders and our battery of tests the Honda is always at least average and usually ranking near the top. It's never polar, and even though it has some minor issues, they are not any more distracting that the minor issues on any of the other bikes. It fits more riders better than the other bikes, and it rarely gets ranked last. Plus, it got ranked first more than any other. It averages out to a winner in our shootout, but only you know if it wins for you.
