The good news is that there are three versions of the bike available. The CRF-R is the top-notch-nutter motocrosser dressed in supermoto kit with the wheels and rubber you see in the pictures, the CRF-RX and CRF-RXC are lesser-spec bikes with engine mods to make it a bit less manic mid-range but with some more top-end. The CRF-R also gets a 6.3 litre fuel tank whilst the RX and RXC versions have a 7.3 litre option. All three bikes get an electric starter.
