2020 Honda CRF250RX - honest review 

Glad you enjoy it! yes it is pretty good option

sounds good Aaron, thanks for sharing!

It does sounds great!

haha, that must be a lot of power.. take it easy Tim!

cool, glad you like it!

Not sure yet, he is not riding at the moment.. hope soon tho ;)

@@dirtniron mk just wondering thanks for replying! Keep up the great work and content! And stay motivated!

riding at my local trails, yes it is a lot of fun! ;)

Thank you 👍

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

Timo Australia Honda does not import them as i buy one in a heart beat

interesting, not sure why they dont import it.. glad you can see little progress in my riding.. its a long process but getting little better one by one

glad you like it! lets see ;)

From personal opinion the yz250fx is much better overall. More low grunt then Honda and wide ratio transmission. Has a 6the gesr as well.

@@jonathoncatterson8901 and the Honda is 900 dollars more

great bikes for sure!

I really want a Honda 250 there so cool In my opinion

Ya

Same

Glad you liked it Rich, thanks!

thanks Adam, you are going to like it a lot. Maybe think about getting vortex ecu from twisted, really helps the power.

cool Ramon, glad you find it helpful

what kind of bikes do you guys ride? what are the rules ?

@@dirtniron We have two legal riding areas in CT. The main one is the enduro loop at Pachaug State Park(most of my latest vids were recorded here). Its a grueling 70-80 mile loop trail with some side areas. The major sections are connected by black top roads, the rule for this place is "street plated motorcycles only". So we have this odd combination of hard enduro trails needing a true enduro machine to ride. At the same time, that machine has to somehow get through CT DOT registration and be "street legal" registered. Most rides are on KTM's or Husky's Because these brands have dealerships in the state that sell true "dual sport" models, the brands are on the "CT Master List" so any bike they sell with an MSO that states "motorcycle" can get a street plate by simply submitting the paper work. Other brands with "motorcycle MSO's" like my GTX, Beta, Sherco etc , that are not on the Master List have to be dressed up to meet a list of safety criteria and pass the a state DOT inspection. Once through, they can go through a normal registration process. If a bike is sold with an MSO "for off-road use only" or "closed course racing" then there is a whole other paper work and fee process that has to be completed. Then a full conversion has to be done to meet DOT criteria before the bike can be "street plated" ....For these bikes, its really not worth the hassle and cost.. 😡 Sorry brother, you asked.... lol

yes the bike sounds great.. I wish it would have 6 gear wide ratio gearbox.. maybe 2021....

Anthony, I think it would pull you just fine, you can also upgrade later to big bore and hot cams. 300 2stroke is good option too

thanks Gabe!

Glad you like it. I would probably wait till 22, your current bike is pretty good too, just need to be uncorked

Glad you liked it James, thanks!

Glad you liked it

thanks Simon, glad you like it!

Glad you like it! thanks

thanks Marcelino!

i think probably 250fx, since you have 6 gears wide ratio gearbox and also very cool phone app to tune your ECU. Otherwise they both feel great

Yes... it's a tough decision. I'm really liking what I'm seeing for the fx. Did the ergonomics between the two bikes seem similar? One better ? I'm 6'3" 190. Man... that honda sounds great! Does the Yamaha sound good?

I rode 22 250r and liked it a lot. It has goods suspension for an average guy, it can also be better.. I think 250x will come with good package for what you need to ride.

@@dirtniron Thanks for the response man, can't wait to ride it!

lets see what we can do, working on something..

Glad I could help

Good choice! Share some feedback once you ride a bit. thanks!

great bike for sure! congrats man

I think you will miss few things.. its still fun bike tho

I think around 50-80 just as any other 250f.. also depends how you ride

@@dirtniron thank you 👍

Have you derestricted the WR? I would say stock power of the 250rx is comparable to a stock WR450F but derestricted the wr450f is definitely faster

Glad to help! I think wr450 still have more bottom and overall more power, but crf255rx did not feel slow at all

Tim Slager .. Yup, thanks to Rado, that was the first thing i did. Then i added the exhaust, ECU & CCU. But instead of using the pre programmed maps, i used the maps from Yamaha website. Boy what a difference.

BigDave TALKS yes I think your wr450f is for sure more powerful than the 250rx 💪🏻🤘

@@Tunerfreak99 Oh no doubt, I guess the real question was. Is it powerful enough to make my 23 year old son happy on the track and trails like my WR 450..lol..He just doesn't want a dedicated trail bike if he decides to go to the MX track.

I think you dont have to (depends how it rides) but it will be better if you do. some stock ECUs can be reprogrammed, you might want to get in touch with twisted development, they can tune it for you and answer any questions you might have. Vortex ignition from them would be the best, but its not cheap.

It sure is!

Glad you liked it

@@dirtniron do you think it's possible you could do a review on a 2020 KTM 250 xc-f and a yamaha yz250fx and then all three together that would be good, love the videos keep up the good work 😎🖒

Yamaha wr250 is little more trail friendly for average guy, its not built for race environment in mind its more for overall trail riding, has different gearbox with 6 gears and wide ratio.Bike comes choked from the factory.. you need to open it up and change ECU to get most out of it. Honda 250RX is ready to ride, bike is fast and quite fun, its built for more aggressive riding (racing), one downside is that it comes with motocross close ratio gearbox with 5 gears only.

I am not sure, probably very similar..

@Blarg Blargg did you get a 2021 RX? I'm about to pull the trigger vs. The FX. Is it even better for 2021? More low end?

great bikes!

no, thats how empty it gets toward the end of the day ;) it was like 2pm

I dont know yet, how do you like it so far? Honda website should give you all the updates

I am not 100% sure what they did but the bike felt good

@@dirtniron I just found some info on chassis changes. Looked like Honda changed the swingarm, frame, and retuned suspension to match. Probably why it felt so good. Some are saying it has the best rear wheel traction on hillclimbs compared to other 250 four strokes.

yes it would be slightly better, not a big difference tho..

fx makes more sense cuz its a wide ratio with the granny first gear, check this out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gvh3-7mFcXQ.html

Honda CRF 250 F my son 14 and ride this bike he started on a pit bike 125

crf250f or previous 230f are good bikes to start on, Hex Head has a good suggestion

250f might be a bit much for you to handle at first. But once you get the hang of it you will be happy with that bike for years

gopro 7 black

yea, bike came with that pad

cool, glad you like it. Email me, I can help you out..

2 stroke XC would be my choice

Dirt N Iron thanks

450cc is too much bike for most of the riding I do.. they are heavier to man-handle them and can wear you out faster.. still like to ride them but would probably choose smaller cc if I can

@@dirtniron Does it depend on the weight of the rider or is just personal preference?

sounds good, I am also glad they are coming out with these X models

yea, its sweet...i heard you dont get them in Australia, is that right?"

Yeah it's not available over here.

its in San Bernardino forest

Hemet area

thanks glad you like it, they are similar bikes.. lets see how fx feel.. should be able to ride one soon ;)

around Hemet area in Socal

they are very similar, fx has better offroad gearbox

yea, I do think about it every time I ride. This was during the week, SXS guys are usually out during the weekend..

I am right at 5'11"

Could the bike be Lowered? is that l'm 5'5

yes there are ways to lower it

yea, 6th gear would be great. Cant wait to test 250fx

red..

5’11 almost

yea, same as R model..

yea, same as R model..

man, they are everywhere.. and they like to get to your mouth and eyes.. soo annoying!

cool!

agree

yea, wide ratio would be good

I am talking about the red dirt bike.. sorry for confusion ;)

;)
