Love the video! Bought the same bike beacuse I wanted an XR250 with electric start and have been very happy with it so far. Had it for about a year with zero issues.

[@anglegrinderlover994]

4 year ownership and no big problems with it other than the fact i looped it yesterday and need new bars XD

[@TheAmpolic]

Just got a 2022 for the farm. glad to see it can handle all this terrain. cant wait to spend years on this bike

[@ferdinandosteinhart6616]

This bike actually competes in the Sertões Rally in Brazil for Honda Racing, Thiago Wernersbach is the pilot, and there are a few others in other teams as well! This year Sertões became the biggest rally in the world! Even bigger than the Dakar!

[@TeamBennyRides]

Wow, that’s awesome ! They sure can be a capable bike in the right hands and a bit of work. Hope you checked out the update video ? Thanks Ferdinando 👍

[@rfmxbr]

This bike dominates Brazil....I have this bike for 2 years now... and i can do everything... with every one... and it not brokes....

[@rafaellopes1863]

Interessante

[@technician799]

That’s pretty much all I ride with my 250f. It keeps up with my buddies ktm300 at a fraction of the price, and everything else. Its 90% rider

[@bennyrides]

A few simple inexpensive tweaks and its an even better bike than straight off the dealership floor... new Honda video uploading now !

[@TeamBennyRides]

Step aside ! CRF coming thru ! 😂

[@TeamBennyRides]

@B Absolutely mate ! Sometimes less is better ! This bike is a little tractor ! Goes to show you don’t need big horsepower all the time. That’s why I love it 👌

[@WadeMade]

I actually enjoy seeing this bike do the hard stuff far more than other more expensive bikes.

[@bennyrides]

You are not alone there ! Tim rides the wheels off that Honda… We have lots more bikes to make videos with so make sure you subscribe to not miss any of the videos coming up ! Thanks for your support.

Crf250f is an excellent bike. Honda created a bulletproof engine with endless possibilities as far as upgrades go. Great bike!😊

Couldn't agree more!

The new XR250R!

[@TeamBennyRides]

For sure ! Electric start and EFI to bring it up to modern day ! 👌

[@davidmorcos1463]

Really enjoyed the video. I ride very similar terrain in Arkansas on a crf300l. The bike is HEAVY compared to the 250F.

[@TeamBennyRides]

Thanks mate, the 250F is no bantam weight but it holds its weight quite low, so when riding you certainly don’t notice it as much. Its surprisingly nimble and flickable on the trails.

[@dolphin-studio]

bro i do this in my 150f and im 80kg i have climbed just about everything with that thing. its suprising ho capable these things are

Very interested to see what tweaks you can make to it. They're got alot of potential being a 4 valve 20hp sleeper. Its only 6hp below an XR400.

[@bennyrides]

Glad you asked... next Honda video is uploading right now !

[@hawaiidogoadventures9855]

Stock On all the Honda forums oem xr400r makes 34 and also a lot more to. Also near same weight. Wet weight of my 98 xr400r is 267lbs oem. Dry is 256lbs. It’s a great bike. I wanna try one of those crf250f but I’m 6 1 200lbs and not sure if it’d be worth it.

[@jlowe450r8]

Sweet man. I’m looking at getting one of these bikes. Just snagged a 2020 DRZ400 with only 275 miles on it. What camera are you using?

[@bennyrides]

Benny, how did you do the engine break-in period?, greetings from Mexico

[@bennyrides]

Bloody hell mate ! Mexico 🇲🇽 ! 1 heat cycle at home ( bring it up to operating temp) then shut it down, next day just ride it normally on the trail, nothing crazy, drop oil and filter, all done! Easy as 👍

It’s the rider not the bike 👍🏻

[@bennyrides]

Tim is pretty handy...

[@tmkickinnstickin4503]

Only knock with my 450 is how it dies so easy in low speed then the engine heats up. I'd love to have a yz-125 with a 144 kit. That's all anyone truly needs unless your a pro... The 40hp bike that's 200# instead of 60hp and 250 is much easier to ride all day not to mention safer. Imma big fan of the 350 to bad no Jap companies build one that would be the perfect bike. Maybe add a heavy flywheel and 6speed wide ratio tranny that would be awesome too

[@liamwhitey06]

Hey Benny, what did you do to the exhaust, sounds awesome and I wanna do it to mine.

[@TeamBennyRides]

Take the baffle out, carefully cut around the spot welds holding the mesh spark arrestor, slide the spark arrestor off, cut the baffle at the end closest to the outlet leaving enough to slide the mesh spark arrestor back on,( about 1 inch) clamp it back in place or in my case it was tight enough to just stay on by itself. Effectively you are removing the small pea-shooter baffle on the inside by cutting it off and you will be left with the large chrome end of the pipe and a slightly smaller pipe in the middle with a mesh spark arrestor still on the inside. Removing the whole baffle sounds horrible so this way you still have the bigger pipe of the baffle still there. Once you unbolt the baffle/end cap and have a good look at it you will understand exactly what I’m trying to explain. Bolt the end cap back on and bingo. Cheap, FREE ! mod to make it breathe easier and sounds way better 👍

[@Nicko_92]

Have you seen the kayo t4 300 $4,299 I was thinking about getting one

[@bennyrides]

I have had a bit of a look on the net, pretty interesting, you’d imagine it’s all old tech copied from the Jap bikes… I guess if you are reasonably handy they could be an inexpensive option. Go buy one and send me the link to your video !

[@Nicko_92]

​@@bennyrides I'm still unsure about getting one, I've done alot of research on kayo brand and apparently kayo was established in 2002 by engineer who had been working for Honda's China division for over 10 years

Go on ! Why not 😬 It’s the kind of bike that you would always have in your collection

@@TeamBennyRides I was really considering the 250f , made a deposit but changed my mind for a 250 RX instead 😬. I live 10 mins away from a motocross/enduro track and trails so I opted for something of a “jack of all trades” type as a first bike. Your bike is soo hot 🥵👌🤤.

[@bennyrides]

If your “TRAIL RIDING”, go for the 250F all day ! The suspension will be fine for your weight 👍 The power is surprisingly good for this bike, you’ll end up embarrassing your friends on their 250r’s as it is a very capable trail bike ! You won’t be disappointed… New video is in the editing studio now… more detail and more Honda…

Not at all, holds it weight quite low so hardly notice it on the trails
