First Impressions: 2019 Honda CRF250R

Check out our thoughts on Honda's updated 2019 CRF250R.

[@dc_5sauce]

Michael Lindsey is the best at bike reviews, you get all the info you would want as a rider to make a smart decision on what will work for you as a rider.

[@Sevredline]

Totally agree, he is one of the only testers that go into detail about the changes of the bike. Detail as in why a frame or etc is better than the previous model

incredible review. great at using accurate technical terms and very descriptive.

[@Quertreiber199]

Everyone who is speaking bad about the new Honda 250 has never ridden it. The engine has a lack of bottom end thats true but overall it is an amazing bike, corners awesome, really good suspension and the engine is lightyears better than the former crf250 engine.

[@chipper442]

Love my 2019. So glad I bought one.

[@wenethmoon6587]

Super stoked to own one ✌🏻✌🏻

[@Gatorfan250rrr]

The problem with ALL dirt bike reviews is that they are done by expert riders. There are plenty of novice and intermediate riders trying to choose a bike and must try to decode the reviewer to find the bike that is best for them.

[@lukemoto1235]

Gatorfan250rrr except for this guy

[@lukemoto1235]

Great review, quick and to the point, well spoken reviewer and full of knowledge. Onto the bike, I’m very interested in this bike; I was considering this or the Suzuki. Going to go with the Honda, they just make the best of everything, can never go wrong with Honda.

[@mxgryan]

I enjoy Mike Lindsay's reviews. Dunno why he has so many haters like the guru

[@jefferywalton8176]

Wish they would dual sport this, I would own one. Will be looking at Yamaha WR250R instead.

[@kylemcnab927]

When are you doing the rmz intro?

[@pinkpink7553]

LOVE youCRF250R

[@msrrider43]

did they fix the battery issue?

[@chipper442]

Lithium iron phosphate battery.

[@anthon_dvnl1713]

That’s crazy it’s almost a new bike... I think I’ll change my 2018 for the 2019

[@dick8997]

Most innovative things honda done in a decade is add a second muffler good work

[@jimmysmyth7510]

SARCASM?

[@lukemoto1235]

jimmy smyth yup

[@bassfishingwiththeantichri2921]

michael majewski - Two is always better than one.

Nice ml512

[@Bjm-ji9im]

What is better a WR250 or this CRF250 I really dont know but if anyone knows would you be able to tell me pls

[@carterlyford2963]

Bjm10 00 your comparing a on off road to a mx bike if I choose between a new yz250 or a new crf250r I’d choose the yz if your buying a 2014-2017 250 Honda all day

[@Bjm-ji9im]

Thanks and yeah I would agree

[@vincentsauer99]

What? That late? But awesome Video anyways

[@diaz6746]

Whats the height you should be to at least ride it and not fall over because i have a 125 and im 14 5’6 and its little power and i want somthing bigger i just feel like im not tall enough to atleast tippy toe but able To stand still

[@NickW90]

5’6” is fine that’s my height and i have the 19 crf250r

[@diaz6746]

Nick danm im 5’8 now 😂😂😂😂

[@fabriciogbi0879]

Essa moto e sonho de qualquer pessoa

[@jimmysmyth7510]

No it's good if you think dual exhaust looks cool. other than that it's heavy and slow

[@fabriciogbi0879]

jimmy smyth the bike is still very powerful

[@jimmysmyth7510]

No it's not. Have you seen the dyno chart?

[@jojobrooksshifflett7931]

That’s why race trailers have a rack of gears.

[@dick8997]

First impression...would be much better if it was cr250r with fuel injection

[@tyleralexander6368]

michael majewski the new ones are fuel injected

[@cbRTXTI]

got to ride one there too smooth and soft for me

[@cbRTXTI]

but thats my opinion coming off a 450

[@LukasStaton]

Hoosqvarna🤣🤣

[@FloW11175]

ikr

[@justinbeeaman9522]

Lol

[@andreasstefanou5898]

I really like that kid Awesome test rider No bullshit Honda looks a really fun bike to ride but i think Yamaha will win the shootout this year

[@jimmysmyth7510]

They didnt just change the power....... They changed to true dual exhaust(for the appearance) and shitty power is the result.

[@danielc5205]

I've never liked the looks of the CRF's twin exhaust pipes, it looks goofy, IMO.

[@bread8609]

Is this a good bike for a supermoto

[@jimmysmyth7510]

Well it's about as heavy and slow as you can get for an mx bike

[@darrylstem6426]

Why cant the bike manufactures get the engines right the first time

[@jimmysmyth7510]

It's so stupid that Honda would totally screw up the power characteristics for the look of true dual exhaust. That is the Honda philosophy dual exhaust looks cool and performance is second to dual exhaust. What a gimmick. This is the HEAVIEST 250F EVER PRODUCED and even weighs more than some of the 450s. JUNK JUNK JUNK

[@mt1885]

Buy a KTM/Husqvarna avoid the big 4 bikes...

[@maverick2242]

Honda of the 80s and 90s engineers greater than 4t era engineers, just don’t get this gen of Honda, total disconnect.

[@Semics5]

Oh, heavy is not good by itself but add being down in the ponies department and u have a serious issue!

[@mt1885]

@@Semics5 Buy a KTM/Husqvarna or EURO bike the big 4 have abandoned development and stagnant.

[@Matt-dz6qn]

Semics5 they are actually a very fast bike if you can ride it properly... unfortunately it’s just difficult to squeeze the best out of the bike because of the power curve

[@mt1885]

Dumb dual exhaust and excessive weights!
