Honda CRF450L vs Honda CRF450RL ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda CRF450L has a 940 mm seat; the Honda CRF450RL sits at 945 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 94 cm for the Honda CRF450L and 95 cm for the Honda CRF450RL.

That makes the Honda CRF450L the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Honda CRF450RL gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
