Honda’s 2018 CRF450R and RX have had few tweaks for 2018, following the ground-up revamp in 2017. They will now come stock with an electric starter as standard, powered by an ultra lightweight lithium ion battery, and the removal of the kickstart lever saves all-important weight. Front and rear suspension settings have been fine-tuned for even more agile handling.

Both the new CRF450R and CRF450RX will be in dealerships across Europe in the summer 2017.

Honda has not yet revealed its 2018 CRF250, which is likely to get the full ground-up revamp that the 450 had for 2017. They have revealed photos of the 2018 CRF150, though, but revealed no details yet. It seems that new-style graphics are the only obvious change.
