Honda CRF250R 2018

Honda CRF250R 2018

With the motto 'THE STRONGEST EVER', Honda definitely didn't promise too much! For a 250, the CRF250R felt extremely powerful. The handling is in a class of its own thanks to the new frame and narrower exhaust. Fans of hydraulic clutches will also be satisfied with the Honda's cable clutch, it can be dosed with little effort! The new look is successful and is only marred somewhat by an unsightly weld on the rear silencer. In summary, this is a really successful, modern motocross for beginners, but also for faster riders!

Easier to ride despite higher torque. One of, if not the best MX in the quarter litre class.
