Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki KX250F 2017

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

App for fork settings

Torque motor

Handling

Launch control system

KX FI programming kit (optionally available)

Kickstarter

Honda CRF250R 2016

The new edition of the CRF 250R is less an evolution than a revolution. The fact that the look is entirely in the style of the big sister CRF450R is not only clever because it takes advantage of the big bike's image and saves costs.

Handy chassis

agile

low weight

improved engine.
