2019 Honda CRF250F | Bike Overview

[@rmatvmc]

What do you think of the new CRF250F? Any CRF230 riders out there looking to upgrade?

[@larrytucker1945]

Tell us what you think? Is the suspension an improvement over the CRF230 and TTR-230? Are the breaks better? Kawasaki has an interesting off-road bike coming out also. It’s nice to have options between putt putt trail bikes and $9k-10k off road bikes. EFI and rear disk breaks are definitely welcome.

[@alexj2283]

Also, tell us the difference between the 250f and 250r , which one is the best one? Which has more power or recommend?

[@rmatvmc]

@@alexj2283 Those two bikes are very different in power, the 250R is a liquid cooled performance engine that is meant to be revved higher and ridden more aggressively (motocross). The 250F is an air cooled engine that is meant to rev lower and used more for cruising around on trails. If you want more power and plan to ride the track, the 250R is the way to go, if you're more of a novice rider or want a bike to ride around on trails with, the 250F will suit you better.

[@adamdyment9732]

It should have definitely come with a headlight. Using the old 6 speed xr transmission would have been a big win.

With most of this I agree I did buy a XR600 off of a guy and have had nothing but issues with it. Maybe it wasn’t taken care of before but it looked to be in good shape. Gonna sell it and buy a CRF250F just because it’s so much lighter on the trails.

[@austinsmith9413]

Agreed, I currently have an xr250r and love it to bits, but I would love something just like it it the 450 range. I have looked a bit at the xr400, but it's a bit heavier than I like and fuel injected would also be nice.

Ultimately I just want my old XR250 updated with Fuel Injection, lightened up with a titanium frame, and a low profile street legal kit for trail hopping... Air cooled is the way to go. Way more reliable and virtually no maintenance. Fuel, Air Filter checks, change the oil, and replace the oil filter. Thousands of hours on my XR250 never a day in the shop.

[@trevorjameson3213]

I have a '99 XR250R that I've had since new. Been riding it for twenty years and it's never had a mechanical problem of any kind, still runs perfectly and does not consume oil. Probably tens of thousands of hours on it and I still ride it regularly. I also have an '85 Honda TRX 250 four wheeler that I bought new and still have, and still work it on the farm all the time. It also has been 100% trouble free and still runs great, at 34 years old. The old Honda XR air cooled engines were the best ever made, without a doubt.

[@EachAdventure]

Great video! Honda needs to make a dual sport version of this bike so they have something trail worthy to supplement the 450L. The 250L is a great machine but it’s really more of a true 50-50 dual sport bike. I think a lot of people just want something street legal to connect trails that doesn’t cost 10-12K.

[@jsthormahlen]

Get a wr250r

[@EachAdventure]

@@KB3AOL I had a CRF250L for a few years and it is an extremely capable machine. The biggest problem with the 250L is the weight and even with mods and upgrades it doesn't feel like a dirt bike. My point was that we need more trail oriented dual sports on the market - bikes that feel like trail bikes but that you can use to legally connect trails. Think XT225 or DR250... bikes that weigh around 260 pounds that aren't enduro race bikes but can tear up single track and OHV trails.

[@EachAdventure]

@@jsthormahlen The WR250R is awesome but it's too expensive for a trail bike in my opinion. The CRF250F is in the same class as the new KLX230 from Kawasaki; a decent sub 5K trail bike with a dual sport option for legally connecting trails. I would like to see more of that from other manufacturers.

[@TommyNitro]

Each Adventure what do you think of the klx300r? The reason I ask is I’m slightly over six feet tall and spacing 200 lb with riding gear. I’m afraid the crf250f would just be too small for my frame, though I like everything about the bike.

[@kings17court]

Unless you're a MX badass, these are great bikes. This was kinda my intro back into dirt a few years back. I rented a CRF230F from this place called Durhamtown to ride along with my son on his 110. It worked out great, and I enjoyed it. It had plenty of power, pretty plush suspension, and just worked. Your jumping is limited to smaller jumps, but that's all some of us are capable of. It would be nice if they could make them lighter, though.

[@tysleight]

I've shared way more fuel with experienced riders than newbies. Experience often leads to casual prep because I've been there done that mentally. New guys are super busy checking every thing every time being overly concerned about fuel.

To all watching this video and considering purchase: If you are 5 foot 11 inch and taller THIS BIKE WILL BE WAY TOO SMALL FOR YOU I am not referring to engine size being 249cc I am referring to its actual over all size. Im 6'1 and sat on one (2 of them actually) in person at a honda dealer... my feet were flat on the ground and my knees bent almost 90 degrees. This is a VERY SMALL BIKE. All these yoitube videos do not give you a true sense of its actual size. If youre between 5'6 and 5'10 max this bike will be an excellent fit.

[@lanceduhon4834]

I bought a 250F in March. I’ve put a lot of trail miles on it since then. Not a fast or peppy bike, but it’ll get you up any hill or through any hole. It’s pretty heavy compared to other 250 cc bikes too. It has a lower center of gravity, which makes those tight corners ridiculously easy. I wasn’t too keen on having the electric ignition, but man, it sure is nice being able to just push the button and go. Especially if you stall on an uphill climb. The suspension is a little softer than I’d like, and it will bottom out occasionally. One other downside is that you have to be in 1st or 2nd gear with your ass way back in the saddle to get the front wheel off the ground. That makes for a wet ride when you’re trying to go through a puddle. the stock exhaust is super quiet, which is a plus for me, but not for others. It gets ANAZING fuel mileage, and it even has a low fuel light. The fuel injection system makes for a quick throttle response too. Overall, I’ve been very satisfied with it. If you’re looking for something to enjoy some trails without having to hold on for dear life while screaming through the trees, then get the 250f.

The electric start saved me when i stalled on some rough single track hill climbs. Ive put this bike through hell in the year ive owned it and it fires right up everytime

Can the 250F handle larger riders and clear table-tops/doubles on the track with stiffer springs (get correct sag) and "Racetech" mods to get better valving / more adjustability? I personally don't race and I like the low-maintenance engine, but I also want to build jumping abilities.

[@imagamerful]

I’m 5 foot 11, do y’all think I’m too tall for this? I’m not a very experienced rider so I don’t want a powerful bike, this is the biggest trail bike they make I guess. Really don’t want to get a competition bike to learn to ride on

The new 125f isn’t what the XR’s were. The four speed is far from ideal on slow trails. The gap between gears is to much

[@Blaze49AzSd]

Great vid, is the 250 F same dimensions as the 250 l , I read that L is heavier 315 lbs , does the 250F look smaller? Thanks

5:38 Do these 'wrap-around' Tusk D-Flex Pro hand guards clear the stock clutch lever on a 2020? And/or do you have a link to a shorter clutch lever? Thanks.

[@mts982]

Is the clutch hydraulic and how well does the air cooling keep the engine cool?

[@noidea1962]

The clutch is NOT hydraulic, and, even in 90 degree plus, I've had zero problem with it being cool enough to continue running through the Black Hills of South Dakota...even the more technical, steep, and rocky areas.

[@mts982]

@@noidea1962 You should do a compare test to the new 2020 kawasaki klx300r. ultimatemotorcycling.com/2019/06/18/2020-kawasaki-klx300r-first-look-8-fast-facts/

Does anyone have a problem buying a bike made in China

[@archmadnessdr6504]

I have a video of this bike on some rough rocks on my channel

[@izaiah8804]

What is the skid plate you got on this bike ? I’ve been looking for one for the CRF250f but can’t find one

[@Captain1929.]

Could you upgrade the suspension?

[@oldmanmtb1443]

Send me a link to those tusk hand gurads...

[@jeh1n]

Will the Tusk handguards shown in the video fit the stock handlebars of the CRF250F?

[@rmatvmc]

As long as you get the correct mounts you shouldn't have any problems putting the D-Flex Pro's on your stock bars.

[@bf3forevergreene165]

So I’ve been doing research for a trail bike and I’m set on the crf250x from what I’ve read, but people on KZbin say to go for a crf250f, y isn’t the f not as good as the x??

[@rmatvmc]

The 250X is also a great trail bike but is a lot different than the 250F. It really depends on your experience level and what riding you plan on doing with the bike. The 250X is based off the CRF250R motocross bike and has a taller seat height, adjustable suspension, and a liquid cooled engine closely related to the race bike. The 250F is still a very capable machine but is not as performance based and more geared towards less experienced or smaller riders. I would also recommend finding ones for sale so you can sit on both and see what you feel more comfortable on.

How would it be for a 175-185 pound rider?

[@justonp1981]

JamesM M This bike is perfect for a 175-185 pound rider. Super low maintenance. This bike is not a track bike but the ultimate trail machine with the perfect amount of useable power. If you are experienced you can take this bike anywhere with less fatigue than any of your riding buddies on bigger, faster, motocross bikes. This bike just sips the gas also. You will go almost twice the distance of a 2 stroke or racing 4 stroke motocross styled bike. If you ever want more power there is a 300cc big bore kit already available for this air cooled motor.

[@jm6918]

@@justonp1981 Awesome. Thank you for the comment.

[@dannuthals7045]

Juston Preble Hey Juston, do you have any info that you can share on the 300cc big bore kit? Many thanks

[@yunngkhalifa]

I’m 230 pounds do you think I’ll still get the same experience as a skinny person??😂😂

[@Mike10700]

With out a doubt

[@fatchance4465]

Anybody making a larger fuel tank for it?

[@matthewnoddle9875]

@rockymountainatvmc would you recommend this or the klx300r?

[@Sharpify2299]

This

[@Iuserumble]

Any issues with the FMF since it's fuel injected and you can't tweak the carb?

[@TN_HondaDad]

No as that is EFI doing it's job electronically measuring how much fuel you need. :-} In theory, you could start out in Death valley and climb to a 10K mt and the bike would never hiccup like a carb bike as the computer is always monitoring and adjusting the proper amount of fuel. Carbs are slowly going away of the dinosaurs with dirt bikes and its about time!
