Belgian MX 1 star already tested his new ride for 2009 world championship assault. Kevin who was second in 2007 MX1 season and troubled with injuries in 2008 was extremely positive at his first outing on Mantova MX track in northern Italy. ‘The CRF 450 is already fast and with Akrapovic exhaust, a good base for future fine tuning. I was also very satisfied with exhaust characteristics and specially, with reasonably quiet noise output’, claimed Kevin, who will now continue with further testing with Honda Martin Racing Team.
