The Stopwatch Doesn’t Lie 2027 Honda CRF450R vs. 2027 Yamaha YZ450F

The all-new 2027 Honda CRF450R comes in as one of the most highly anticipated bikes of the season, while the slightly updated 2027 Yamaha YZ450F is also returning as one of the most dominant stock bikes of the past few seasons. In this video, Josh Mosiman and Eric Rizzo put the two bikes to the test with a fun lap time battle on two different tracks. Yes, the first shoot got cut short with Hurricane Rachel creating a dust storm at Lake Elsinore, but we picked it back up with some rough and tough motos in the hills of SoCal.
