    Hi All, just joined the forum and looking for advise please.

    I am looking for a 2nd bike to use as a commuter.. I currently own a s1000rr for my daily commute, however, the miles are racking up.... its only 25 miles daily however, am nearly upto 20k on a 2016 bike.

    I did a Dave Thorpe off-road day and am hooked.

    I am looking for a work-hack and something to play green-lanes some weekends. I have seen for 2016 CRF450X and was wanting to know what tyres would be good for the road and then swap for knobblies at the weekend... I would buy a 2nd pair of rims, so a ball-ache to swap them rather thank the tyres...

    Your help / guidance is most appreciated.

    Welcome to the site !! \:D/

    For the sake of asking , have you looked at the new CRF450L ???? , if your only occasionally going off road , at least the new L is Street legal https://www.crfsonly.com/forum/viewtopi ... 99&t=43131

    The X is a great bike to supermoto/street , but with the money spent on 2 sets of wheels , and making it street legal , the 450L might be a better option for your specific needs , its no slouch off road either , so it might be a better option for you :-k

    Hi,
    The 450X though fun would not be happy as a commuter as it was designed to be moving to keep engine cool. It would not like traffic.

    It starts,it runs,it gets to where all CRFs can get to without the valve or valve plate dramas
