THE BEST CR250 EVER MADE; THE 2001 CR250 G.O.A.T. 

ATTENTION POTENTIAL BUYERS!!! This was my buddy Jeff’s bike, and we brought it down to Kaplan Cycles from NH because it deserved to be done right! This ‘01 CR250R had EXTREMELY low hours on it to begin with. Even before it got the Kaplan treatment it was a VERY fresh bike! It still had its original tires with date codes that were barely touched! It was always stored right and taken care of very well. It was ridden but NEVER beat on. The frame rails have absolutely no dents and are utterly immaculate! Ken Sr. forgot to mention that this bike has been to Factory Connection in NH for front racing suspension. You’ll see the original Factory Connection sticker on the top right fork. Folks, I can’t even begin to tell you what an unbelievably nice bike this is. It was the best year for the CR 250, and this one has been stored away in super nice condition for years. It was only taken out to fire it up and let her breath a bit, and then drained and put back in storage. It’s literally a time capsule. Team Kaplan, you did one hell of a job with her, and we knew you guys would! Thanks for doing this gem justice! 4 Thumbs up from Kevin and Jeff up in NH!

Just bought a mint 2001. Saw your last 250r video. And i started searching. It flies for sure!!

The 01 Cr250r is the second generation Honda aluminum frame, only used in 2000-2001. The mapping of this engine is also the hardest hitting when combined with the timing of the mechanical Powervalve.

I got a 01 cr125 and that thing got some kick I can imagine how insane this bike is!

That bike is gorgeous! You cant beat a cr 250, one of the best dirt bikes ever!

I had a 200 CR250 up until May of this year when I traded it to a guy to put brand new Mohawk Laminate flooring throughout my house. That bike was soooooo much fun.

I’m so glad I still have mine, I absolutely love it even now as an old guy.

MAJOR want right here. You guys are the best!

It is nice to have Wiz in the videos he is an encyclopedia

I’ve got the same bike and have had three 00-01s. I’ve went to others but keep coming back to them. Set up for woods and they just get er done perfectly!

This CR250 Video of this Amazing, Beautiful, Chrome Masterpiece Insures that I will Sleep Well tonight. Thanks Kaplan.

The Showa sticker on the left fork is upside down.

"violently fast" I Freekin loved that! thats great

That is one beautiful and badass bike. Love the graphics stickers. Especially the Woody Woodpecker sticker. Love how y'all shined the bike up with different grits of sandpaper. Very Nice!

What a sweet bike I understand what wizard is talking about I liked my 94 CR250 power band better than my 88 CR250

Year 2000 cr250r was the best built fastest engine.

Ken, everything you guys make and do is the best out there. And it's the same with your video channel and content, it's the best out there. Commendable how you keep taking Badass to a whole new level.

Awesome bike, hard to find a really nice example such as this you guys always have the coolest and cleanest bikes I've seen

Love it fellas,I have an 02 that’s built,and the thing is a rocket.but that thing is a beast!and pretty!!thanks for sharing kap!

that bike went perfect season outdoors with RC on it! I think they ran VP MR1 fuel also. Good vid bud...

Uncle Ron would approve except for the floppy fenders!

Those wheel rims have have been shown some extra special attention.

"What a freakin' rocket ship... holy shit!" Hahah, I love it. I should be picking one up next week. Can't wait!! Love the videos, keep em' comin'!

Beautiful!

Still got mine bought used low hours in 02 still runs great today

Hey Ken & Wizard, awesome CR250!! I own a 2000 CR250 & it is a “Violently Fast” Rippa too👍❤️👍 I’ve heard the 2000 is actually a little better than the 2001. Can you put your 2 cents in regarding the comparison of the 2 years? Thanks SO Much!! Always Loving your vids.👍👍 Keep ‘em coming.

Sweeeet bike!! 2001 great yr I was a senior!!😅

Nice machine!! I have one from the same year!! By the way, where did you guys managed to get a new foam for the seat?? Best Regards from Portugal !!

Sweet

I got the 2001 cr250 and the 125 same year bought them brand new . I have always kept them like new too. They do hit hard like they say. What would be the value of these bikes in perfect like new condition?

.. Hi there again, Ken ,.. Great vid ,. I've got the very same year CR250,.. I've been tinkering with the TMX38 carb and fitted the JD jet block gasket, but still need to sort the jetting correctly,.. I've changed the needle jet to an S7 from the standard S9, which has improved things, ( all other jets and the needle are standard at present ).. Do you have any data for the carb set-up using a Pro Circuit pipe, perchance ,.. ? Cheers in advance,.. Dan Shooter, ..London, England ,....

Your bikes always sound good and look good.

They rip with a Keihen carb

I love my 01' Honda CR250 💥✊😎👍💥

yeah! I got one of those old boys and ill hold onto it forever until you send your crew out with a trailer to haul it away when im dead

Love the wizard on the mic 🎤

The rc valve isn’t bad with porting and a headkit. Shit rips like a 450 down low. Wish it kept going like a 4 stroke or big bore 2stroke

Could someone please explain that throttle set up to me? I'v never heard of that before and I'v certainly never seen it,very curious,If you get a free moment maybe JR or SR could just give a brief overview of that. The 01 250 is actually the CR I have spent more time on than any, loved it. I do consider myself very lucky to have ridden one.

The digital ignition, porting etc. sets the 01 engine far apart from the earlier versions of this engine.

I have the 2001 Honda CR 125R and it is a BEAST!!!!!!!!

I would love to see one of these on a dyno too Ken! I own one so would be great to know if their claim of 59bhp is true 😅

If these guys dont have the coolest job ever I dont know who does!

I had a 91 YZ 250 it only liked going fast , I had loads of bikes think the evo bikes are better an faster

Super Clean! I have the same 01 Cr250r and I would like to do a full overhaul! How much did you guys spend on that bike!?

That bike rips that's a real 2-stroke motocross bike

I'm torn between buying the 1985 Honda cr 250, or the 2001. .i know the 2001 has an aluminum frame, but aside from that, engine wise, which 1 do u think is better?

Want this bike. Have to search for one😊

I think the 84 cr250 was the best cr250 ever

I have a 2000 cr250.. what's the difference????

Great information and channel When’s that 01 250 going live ??

shes a ripper.

What carb dude? I think u dont mention but i assume its the keihin cause the mikuni tmx 😂😂😂

Have one it's awesome

🥰

Brilliant .😮

So whats the price he asking ?

00-01❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

That bike gives me CHUBB. 😍

When is this getting listed been waiting

❤❤❤

I heard the 2000 was better also with a airstriker carb

WIZARD from WORCESTER

If you can make it out to the track on your bike you already won.

Rc valve engine way better!!!

Man I miss my bike. I had a 2001 but my X sold it under my nose after we split up. I'm going to go buy another one. Any recommendations? Damn that is sexy!!!!

A beautiful bike,so much better than the modern 4 stroke junk.

If teh Wizard

2 stroke forever!
