Josh is great! Huge improvement, it's very easy and enjoyable to listen to him.

[@kimmirossi46]

Nice video. Honda has the best Motocross rider in the world - Tim Gajser from Slovenia!

[@mboyer68]

If by changing the fork height in the clamps by 2mm, or a little less than 0.08" you can feel a difference..that's incredible! Maybe in my next life I'll be that good a rider! Awesome video, awesome bike, awesome riding, thank you for the video!

[@Wide000]

Another great review from this guy. Keep it up!

[@markostarr4062]

I just drove this bike today at Dorno Motocross in Italy.. and I can tell you she handles like.a dream the suspension works great aswell.. the only thing is it has Zero I made zero power from mid to high end RPM ...

[@alexandrakingi8502]

Been waiting for this !

[@brendanharvey3583]

I'm coming from a 07 yz125, and I'm really excited. I hope it's worth it🙏

[@nickchristofora3417]

In any of your testing did you guys have valve problems or where the valves sounded louder then normal? I have 7 hours on my 2020 250r and it was broken in but today I did my first trial ride and the bike def got hot but then the valves started to get louder then I remembered, I almost started to hear a rattle sound when riding but at idle it wasnt there. Im going to look for maybe a lose engine mount bolt or something but it just seemed weird. Just curious if the valves are just loud and maybe I just forgot what they sounded like but I just figured I would ask before I tear apart my bike. Thanks once again.

[@andygraham6163]

curious about the fork tube measurment.... are you measuring 5mm from the top of the cap, or 5mm on the tube without the cap ?

[@TimTheMusicMan]

wow, would love to have one of these monsters....

[@SpeedDemonExpress]

What? The '18 was a top end bike? Just rode one and it falls flat on top compared to my stock 13 KTM 250sxf. It had more mid power than my KTM.

[@leonardoschuenck2943]

Alô Brasil!!! Bora comentar sobre a crf250r 2020!!! A tocada dessa motinha é top show demais!!!

[@dannypeterson1522]

Does anyone know of an European version review. I would like to know what to expect from it as Honda salesman in S.A only have very basic knowledge of the CRF250, knowledge that is presented on the official website. Thanks.

[@xy404]

Are there any changes between the 2020 model year and 2023 CRF? I found a 2020 at a good deal. The 2023 is around 6300 new and 2020 is 3500$ just wondering if 2020 is the way to go.

[@wenke29]

In 22 is a complete new engine. For better low mid power, very usable. Chassis also changes i think.

[@harrybailey3591]

Got a yzf250 2017 now love the bike. Soon gonna upgrade and torn between a yzf250 2020 or crf any help ?

[@remainanonymous2080]

I am in the same boat as you. Currently own a 2007 rm250 and am wanting something new but can’t decide between Yamaha or Honda lol. P.S made this comment so if by chance someone leaves some good information I will receive a notification

[@harrybailey3591]

Remain Anonymous yea mate I’m the same as you hoepdult people reply 😂

[@Tunerfreak99]

The Yammy has a bit more mid range but the Honda feels just right to me, When I sit on Honda’s it always just feels good dunno why

What is the power like if i weigh around 200 lbs?

[@stevestiffler9120]

At 200lbs you’re gonna want more bottom end. Easy fix tho

Great Video Guys!!! Honda CRF250R 2020 More Better Than Yamaha YZF 250 2020? Cheers🍻

[@markmagness3693]

I can’t decide driving me crazy

[@ghoulredeyedemon2024]

People says that the 2020 CRF250 Would step on the top of the podium in the 250 shootout

[@keithreinking6670]

Both Good , not a bad choice it that group

[@keithreinking6670]

Honda Corners Better , Yamaha has a better motor . Both have great front forks

[@stevestiffler9120]

Yamaha is a better 250f, however the new kawi is gonna smoke the honda

[@joelballard4952]

I love all the comments about how it has no power. Lol. It’s the exact same horsepower and torque as the all mighty Yamaha.

[@Mxrider92i]

So, in your opinion, what would be the reasons to choose the honda over the yamaha ? I mean, if they cost the same ( ? ), the yzf seems to have a good chassis, great suspensions AND a great engine with more low and mid.

[@GreenPlanet416]

Nope

[@markmagness3693]

hd339 my thoughts exactly

[@markmagness3693]

hd339 plus the app and I heard this thing clutch gets hot from Dirtbike mags review

[@ghoulredeyedemon2024]

The Yamaha YZ250F Is on the top And it's the best bike that made.

[@mikebrown41182]

It literally comes down to what your local dealer can give you the best price. And the honest truth pick a colour and go for it. Personaly i think the Honda looks better if i had to pick between the two.

[@colinsutton7944]

How does the honda feel and handle compared to the ktm? Which is better suited for a taller (6,2) rider? I ride a yz125, and want to get a 250f

[@colinsutton7944]

Charlie Razzell have you had problems w the kill switch at all? Im 6foot2 so im thinking a bigger bike might be better for me.

[@stevestiffler9120]

How’s the clutch on your Honda? Does the stock clutxh fade

[@michaelsrite822]

@@colinsutton7944 Bikes dont change size past 125. Only weight. In fact its been proven time and again that the 450f has more sag than the 250f.
