The CRF450R was introduced in 2002. Unlike the competing Yamaha YZ426, the first generation CRF450R has an aluminum frame. In 2003, Honda added a longer shock and new linkage to raise the rear end and steepen the head angle. In 2003, camshaft, exhaust, and ignition map were revised. The handlebar size was changed to 7⁄8 in (22 mm) in 2004.
