Honda Australia has revealed a limited-edition CRF450RX marking the 50th anniversary of the Finke Desert Race. The bike gains a 12-liter fuel tank, up from the standard 8 liters, plus a stainless HGS exhaust as standard. It's priced at AU$16,399, about AU$1,500 more than the base model.

Look at the spec sheet — tank capacity jumps 50%, from 8 liters to 12. Honda fitting an IMS big-tank as standard is the part that gets me. Holding dry weight at 116kg while extending range this much, compared to the outgoing bike, this reads like a genuinely race-focused build.

8L to 12L is a big jump, fewer fuel stops is genuinely nice.

AU$16,399 seems fair for a limited edition in this class.

116kg with a 12L tank — that range-to-weight ratio is genuinely solid.

AU$1,500 more just for a tank and an exhaust? Feels a bit pricey.

That's how limited editions go, some used to be graphics-only.

That 12L tank is awesome, they really went all out for Finke's 50th!

Never heard of Finke before, is it really that brutal a race?
