What It REALLY Feels Like - 2025 Honda CRF250 | Whiskey Throttle Media

They saved the best for last! We're a little late to the party when it comes to getting our hands on the 2025 Honda CRF250R, but the upside is that we really had all day to play with it and we had it all to ourselves. Here are our thoughts on what this bike really feels like out the crate on a normal practice day.

The Works Editions of these will be flying off the showroom floor. That HRC red head, Yosh Pipe etc

Only thing missing is the hydraulic clutch. on my 2023 250R I ditched the cable and installed the magura hydro...much much better...

Shame they keep breaking down !!!!! As they look so good

Great video and your reviews are always spot on! The question that I have is the aftermarket going to come up with a "frame fix" for the older 22 to 24 CRF's? Yea I am aware that welding would be involved and it never hurts to ask questions.

[@TheCnelson3]

It would be nice if manufacturers provided additional support brackets to add or remove struts to tune stiffness. You motor isn’t welded to the frame, why would a support brace? Totally possible and becoming necessary. But I guess that would ruin KTM’s mid year bikes.

[@erichildreth7562]

@@TheCnelson3 yes that is right that the motor is not welded to the frame and why add more stress to the motor when the frame should take the stress and let the motor do it's job? I have seen the factory bikes recently and in the past where they have added material to strengthen it and it made it better. Jett's supercross bike last year had these plates added in certain areas on the frame to increase the stiffness of it.

Ping can you do a vital MX BUILD be good to se it all kitted out as a race machine Has that weak top end been fixed tourqe can only get you so far horse power is needed in this class

The rad plastics are very 80’s

[@Superdisco199]

When he said it reminded him of previous generation, did he mean 18-21 or the unicam ones ?

[@jtsurfs]

Ping, you know there are 2 guys on the 250 on Honda? Chance has been doing pretty damn good on that bike.

[@DavidPingree_WTMG101]

He’s not on the 2025

[@jtsurfs]

@@DavidPingree_WTMG101 are you saying Jo and Chance are on different base bikes? Meaning removing setup the bikes are not the same?

[@fabianmcglasson1851]

​@jtsurfs they're on the 2024s

[@superbeast-lq3ft]

Thing sounds like a YZ

[@barrycuda3769]

But , it's only July 2024 ?

[@jpesicka999]

That’s halfway sounds about right.

エンジンの中速から～レブまでのばらつきが気になります❗もっと気持ち良く回って欲しく又高回転のレブ回転後500回転高く成れば勝てます‼️ホンダの技術陣奮闘して下さい～ktnのエンジン超えて欲しく

[@StandlyRichards25]

Still seems slow

[@polok890]

Plastic and graphics are pretty ugly

[@steadfastangler8706]

these reviews are an absolute waste of time.... everybody's preferences are so different you cant have one guy give a his opinion and call it a day.......all you can do is compare it to the bike you currently ride.. and everybody's bike is set up differently... so like I said... waste of time... you just have to ride YOURSELF to find out....
