2015 Honda Supermotard CRF450R:
Built by Andrew, this Dynoworx CRF450R has been increased from 45 to 59 rear wheel horsepower, which makes for a great power-to-weight ratio. A DynoJet Powercommander V is used to adjust fuelling and ignition, with a slipper clutch for controlled rear wheel sliding on corner entry and sticky Metzeler tyres for getting the power to the ground.
Since building the Dynoworx CRF450R bike, which Darcy Prendergast rode at the Leadfoot Festival in 2015, Andrew has had success at street races in the South Island, including first in the 2015 and 2016 Greymouth street race; first in the 2016 Port Nelson street race; first in the King of the Port race, first in the 2016 Methven Mountain street race and first in the King of the Streets round one.
