Racer X Tested: 2006 Honda CRF250R Bike Build

[@Randomhero44122]

Don't know what it is about Honda but they look so sexy after a rebuild.

[@cpurdy17]

That's true

[@SketchyKirby]

My favorite build ever. Almost exactly how I'm trying and want mine to be like

[@nickpitre3634]

"an old bike" shit, anything 2000 and up is new to me , never been able to afford a newer 4 stroke ,just be nice .

[@brodyheikkila8327]

I scored a 04 Crf250r for 1100 ran and rode for like 2 years push starting it only my cam was eaten up someone never adjusted the valves

[@owen8868]

i bought a 2004 crf250r blown up but i completely rebuilt it with the same vertex piston and rings and also a hod rods crankshaft and now i got it running and also are running tusk impact wheels with dunlop tires but great bikeu got there!

[@motoworkz4975]

This bike was custom built with a one of a kind fmf 4.1 system that fits this year model crf250r. you will notice the older exhaust systems are all stainless but this is custom.

[@motoworx9673]

i just did a twin to this. funny to see how many of the same components we used too!! i think the only main difference was i used a hydro clutch setup..

[@devodar2579]

I wish I did this vs buying a new bike. Great show. Would like to see more detail

[@dakotaedwards5681]

My opinion the 06 250r stock plastic and frame looks better than the 2014 250r. Both sick bikes.

[@CrashingVoRTeXzZ]

'06 CRF250R was the best, still have mine!

[@Sms68]

Beautiful Work! 26. that is my Number.

[@regularreview9857]

HELL YEA!!!!!! :O

[@dom0906]

Beautiful bike and solid job on it

[@Sms68]

In my Favorites. This Bike came out Incredible. Are those Decals on the Fins. Very Cool. I have to do that.....BAD ASS SET UP !

[@tylerrogowski]

I also like how they run mufflers you cant even buy anymore. Iv tried it with my 06 crf250r and the best they make is the Pro Circuit TI-4 duals. FMF doesnt make the Factory 4.1 for them anymore.

[@chrisvillarreal2752]

My buddy has rare all carbon fiber dual Yoshi’s only made for the factory supercross team back in 06 they’re insanely light and bark like a 450 it’s crazy!

[@sethbasnaw3712]

he says its an old beater while im over here racing a 2002 kx 125

[@tgomes606]

dude u have no idea (1996 cr 125)

[@jellie33414]

1995 cr250 :(

[@brodybaker960]

1992 kx250

[@melvin3064]

Remember: 2stroke are fucking powerfull ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻💨💨

[@BoostedFB6]

Seth Basnaw older 2 strokes are still fast but the 4 strokes weren't good until around 2010

[@revvinevan014]

I had one, you had one, pretty much anyone who raced had an 06-08 crf 250

[@rastislavsramek5277]

OLD BUT GOLD !!!!!

[@juanstime172]

You can look up all those parts yourself plastics, graphics, clutch etc.. race tech has this cool chart that gives you all the information you need to rebuild your suspension according to rider and bike..

[@trevorsmith5748]

you said you dropped to 04-05 crf carb(less bog, easier to tune) can i do this with my 07? and do i need to replace the carb?

[@Hungryhobo18]

Where did you get the dual fmf exhausrt from

[@mgl9284]

good question

[@thedarkside1254]

Nice sound, mine came with an fmf power bomb header and exhaust.

[@tylersloan8336]

Have fun with those valves and that vortex ignition

[@TI2iProductions]

Ok, seriously? 2006 is not that old. I would think that a factory rider would say that it's outdated, but im assuming that the majority of riders would say that thats, that's pretty new. I ride a 1999 CR125R, and my buddy rode a 1996 KX125 before he moved to a 250F.

[@Three20sAreGone]

Actually, for a modern four stroke 2006 is outdated. There has been so much rnd on these things that the technology on these older 4t's is outdated. As far as 2 strokes go, slightly different story.

[@deegan463]

2006 is a while back now. To give some insight in terms of how much time has passed, in terms of bike technology as well as on a life scale... I got this exact bike...an 06 CRF250R for Christmas at the end of 2005. I was in the 9th grade, 14 years old and had been riding a while, wanting to start racing that summer of 06. I'm now 22 years old and due to injuries over the years/life changes, have just about nothing to do with MX (I rode twice off road and once on a track this year and have wanted to sell that bike for a long time) other than watching the Supercross races on TV and keeping track of the points when I find the time. These were the first to have twin exhausts but came before Honda Progressive Steering, and way before EFI and what not. As Jay said, as if talking about something from the stone age, "This bike still has a carburetor". There's probably lots I'm missing but I'm not totally in touch with the scene anymore. It's not like it can't rip around a track, but it's missing a lot of things that are now common place.

[@TI2iProductions]

deegan463 I can agree on that. Thanks for being mature in your comment and not writing something blatant and extreme. All of my friends that I ride with have 2007 or older motorcycles, so I'm accustomed to those bikes being "new" considering most of the motocross families that I know don't find it a worthwhile investment to purchase anything older than 2010. Not to mention, everything 21st century sounds new when you ride a '99 CR125R. Considering that the four stroke engine is far more complex than its 2 stroke counterpart, I can see how there are more changes to 4 stroke engine technology, and how they are more drastic as well. Why I started this was because it's Racer X, who I would assume would be more inclined to call a 2006 CRF250R old, as opposed to a local weekend warrior, who might have a different opinion.

[@deegan463]

***** Just depends how "into it you are" man. If you're bombing around the mountains/off road of some sort and hit a jump here and there or track it occasionally, sure an old 2 stroke will be fine (and sound awesome lol Brap-BRAAAAAAPPP). Hell...if that's what still made me happy, I'd probably just have an early 2000's 250 or something. But competing in MX, even at the lower levels, you see guys who get a brand new bike every year, or guys who like to beef it up go every other year but are constantly upgrading suspension and engine. On the other hand there was a couple guys at the tracks who would buy 1-2 year old bikes used, and spend the rest of the money they saved on a few upgrades, some gear, and practice/race costs. But not really much older than that, if they were competitive or serious. Cars and bodybuilding have taken over for my outdoor/life hobbies, but I know if I got back into it, hitting the track for practice every chance I got, and racing the local series, I'd be getting a brand new CRF450R.

[@TheRiverRat96]

I definitely agree with both sides here. Yes a 2006 technology is a little out dated if you compare it to a 2014 model. But also I can guarantee that the majority of the riders are not riding 2014 models. Personally I ride a 2007 crf250r and yes, some riders may think its old, but to me and a lot of other riders would see it as being fairly new, considering i had to pay a fair amount for it and it was as much as i could afford being as young as i am.

[@fox13z400]

Hot Cams's is actually a company that sells camshafts (among other things). In this case they probably used the hot cam's cam along with their shims.

[@Tonyvvvv]

Where did you buy the exhaust system at? And does it fit perfectly ?

[@bristolcobra6306]

wow sick rebuild on the old beater lol ... if u got the money and love the bike then rebuild ... that bike is hot

[@kohlgossler7083]

where did you manage to get the yellow cv4 radiator hoses and the fmf 4.1 exhaust????????

[@silkboxing4454]

Wow. Incredible Work

[@JulienHossay]

Sleek looking, appreciate this kind of video

[@mgl9284]

were did get the fmf exaughst cant find it anywere

[@raymondsiewert2720]

Bought the bike for $400 OK , then spent $5000 or more to make it like that ! Beautiful bike just as capable as a new one . A good rider could win local pro class on it !

[@catalyst7809]

Raymond Siewert $1400*

[@raymondsiewert2720]

I agree with the beauty and capabilities of the bike. I just can't believe you bought it for $ 400. I have one of the nicest Honda 250 2- strokes around and spent alot _lh3.googleusercontent.com/KTJnOwFs9KmYC87cjgzFdMWRX8ii0s9HprpOsvZgag_okGDzIcWpKLDH8Ww4RNVMcbWi-6FchA_

They bought a new cylinder too, they didn't clean that, FYI

[@jonathanabreu6869]

With the hot cams is it mandatory to use race gas? If so what octane? Anyone!?! I also have a high compression piston, not sure what size, but trying to stop running race gas bc of the price. Anyone have an answer?? I have a crf250r.

[@meanmachine0135]

how did you get the frame to look like that what compound did you use I'm doing a 2006 cr250 project and would like to do my frame like that

I have an 09 crf250r and I've tryed to get the FMF 4.1 (the pipe on this bike) and it says that that pipe doesn't fit the 09 so how does this 06 have it if 06-09 parts are universal? Someone please respond??

[@rich70912]

[@rich70912]

Did u get the pipes?

[@ARMfilms01]

How did they get that blue exhaust?

[@TeflonDon23]

My homeboy just bought an 06 250f and it don't look like that that bike looks brand new I wounder what was the budget for a rebuild like that

[@SPR28]

what exhaust did you use????

[@tundraguy9612]

Where can I get that exhaust for my 09 crf 250

[@JoeMama-ui7dj]

@Brian SPIESS i dont know if your joking but its kinda like a choke but only you use it when the bike is hot

[@santiagoolloqui3735]

hey im 14 years old 1.70meters. did a 250cc 4strokes can fit me ? or is bigger for me ?

[@OnSaturdayIWentTo]

I'm the same age and height as you and I have a 2012 crf250 and it's perfect size for me so I would definitely suggest a bike like that.

[@jordanahlberg1910]

@aguest7 strip the bike down completely to just the frame. And the get a buffer with some mother ball and go to work it shines its out. Especially if you have a kawi with the rymeal shiny finished frames they turn out really nice.

[@Arunry17]

What model of FMF is that? It looks cool.

[@desaunjaksn]

What was the total cost?

[@maxvitko8957]

wish they would say how much the whole package cost. Is it a better deal than buying a new bike?

[@TraderRoss]

Grasshopper they most likely got the parts free/cost to promo this bike repair

[@MotoBuilds]

Just depends how crazy you want to get with it. But in general if you get a blown bike for 400 the full restoration to make it like new with OEM parts would be about 2200 on top so yes a much better deal than a new bike. And I have had many old and new and to me the 06-08/09 carbed bikes were the best after a refurb. However to get all the aftermarket fancy parts the sky is the limit for what you could spend.

[@1kickass]

seems like you spent more on this than a new bike??

[@moritzvotz9286]

Are the stock dual exhaust loud, I live on 7 acres with neighbours about 200 metres apart on either side, both neighbours have horses and I don't want to receive any complaints about the noise, to anyone who has ridden these bikes with stock dual exhaust , how loud are they? Would I be fine? I am looking at a 2009 crf250r, and it would just be practice around my house

[@Sandberg29]

look at one of my first videos when my bike was stock, its pretty loud, but its your judgement. adleast your looking at a Honda!! :)
