30 August 2013 - Honda is excited to pre-empt the arrival of the new CRF450R and CRF250R with the announcement that the 2014 motocross range will be released with competitive, all inclusive Ready to Ride™ prices.

With the actual prices under wraps for another two weeks, Honda can confirm that the Ready to Ride™ prices will be inclusive of the Manufacturers List Price, pre-delivery and freight to dealer charges. Customers can look forward to no surprises when they reach their Honda Dealership for collection of a new CRF450R, CRF250R or CRF150R/RB.

Peter Singleton, General Manager, Honda Motorcycles explains the new price structure; "This shift to Ready to Ride™ prices is a shift in focus for Honda, we are guaranteeing our customers competitive pricing in the most transparent way."

"We have experienced success with Ready to Ride™ pricing on our ATV range and are looking forward to rolling this out further with the 2014 motocross range."

Honda's 2014 CRF250R will be the first of the 2014 motocross machines to arrive when it touches down in Australia next month. Completely revamped and ready to win, riders can look forward to the already championship winning CRF250R sporting class-leading handling, improved power and trimmed weight for 2014. The complete overhaul includes a new aluminium frame, an updated fork, new swingarm, new shock and linkage ratio along with Honda's patented dual-muffler exhaust and engine advancements.

Designed from the ground up as a total package that is responsive and lightweight, Honda's 2014 CRF450R will continue to prove itself a winner at the highest levels of racing when it arrives in October 2013 with modifications to the engine and updates to the suspension. The CRF450R's powerful 449cc single-cylinder engine delivers improved bottom-end torque thanks to new dual fuel-injection timing and updated twin rear silencers while revised internals in the KYB PSF® (Pneumatic Spring Fork) yield improved damping response for improved bump performance.

Younger racers may be smaller in stature, but Honda knows they can have just as much passion for racing and winning as their older counterparts. Honda's CRF150R/RB is the ideal introduction into competitive off-road riding and the 2014 model which is due to arrive in November 2013, will not disappoint.

Be prepared for some serious competitive motocross riding when Honda's 2014 motocross range arrive with Ready to Ride™ prices. See your Honda Dealer to order yours today.
