Our Brand-New Fleet of Honda CRF450RLs

We’re excited to introduce our new fleet of Honda CRF450RLs at Ellwood Motorcycle Adventures! After two years of testing these bikes in Cape York’s toughest conditions, we’re confident they’re the perfect fit for the kind of riding we do.

The CRF450RL is a versatile, adventure-ready bike that handles everything from technical trails to open stretches with ease. With adjustable Showa suspension, a tuned ECU for smooth power delivery, a 6-speed gearbox, and fuel injection, these bikes are built for reliability and performance.

One of the things we love most about them is their adaptability. We can lower them, adjust the suspension for your weight and height, and fine-tune the setup to suit your riding ability. Whether you’re an experienced off-roader or new to adventure riding, these bikes are easy to ride, confidence-inspiring, and ready for the journey ahead.

If you’ve been thinking about tackling an adventure ride but weren’t sure if you had the right bike, we’ve got you covered. Book a tour with us and experience the ride for yourself!
