Honda returns its 450cc dual sport to its US model lineup for 2021. Equipped with a new model name, to better align it with its R-spec CRF motocross and off-road racing motorcycles, the 2021 CRF450RL is Big Red’s bike of choice for riders who want to see it all at the upright Renthal handlebar of a dirt bike. In this MC Commute video review we talk about what it’s like to ride on and off-road, as well as during night rides.
