I am interested in finding out more information on the new 2019 Honda CRF-250F model. Did anyone buy one of these yet? Has anyone rode one of these yet? Would like to get some actual reviews and feedback on this new Honda motorcycle. I really want to know how it performs, handles, brakes, how is the stock suspension, and anything else I can find out. I have a 2015 Honda CRF-230F so I am very curious how the new CRF-250F compares. I have only seen what is on the internet from Honda. All of my local Honda dealers have already sold out of this model. I do know they come from Honda with 2 in the crate. I might buy one but need more info. Thanks for any replies.

Which one are you looking into , the R the X ,R/X or the L ?? , big differences in each , so you need to be more specific as to which model you are interested in

Note:
I have not ridden any of them ,but , I have ridden the 19 450R , and after just 1 ride on the track , I want one bad (I actually want the R/X , but I rode the R) it is everything they claim it is and more .... That said , I do not know about the 250R , if its the L you are looking into , it should be a major upgrade from the 230 ...

He's talking about the new 19' CRF-250F, you haven't heard about this new CRF model yet ?, anyway I'm curious as to what folks have already bought one think compared to the 230F

I had a chance to drive the L for a few hours actually. That's a great bike right there. No tried the other versions though.

Yes , I have heard of it , I am just used to people generalizing around here , and they say 250F or 450F instead of R or X , etc , which is why I asked , to be sure we were on the same page , when/if replying since each are different .... , it's kind of like when someone says , Hey , you got a nice Jet Ski ...... and its a Yamaha Wave Runner , ... a Wave Runner is not a "Jet Ski" , its a Personal Watercraft , but people generalize and call it a Jet Ski , even though the ONLY Jet Ski's on the market are made by Kawasaki , and ONLY the Stand Up model is actually a "Jet Ski" , ........anyway , I always go overboard in my replies , but , that's my answer and I'm sticking to it .... ......

I bought the crf 250f on feb.22nd. Broke it in,and never looked back...I live in north wast pa. So still snow,ice,and 20 something degree temps...I take trails,tracks,and paths to my job daily. And as i live in coal country i have trails everywhere. This bike is very enjoyable. Definitely has the low end grunt you want, handles like a dream. Over ice and snow it just glides. The suspension was rather soft when I got it. All you can adjust on these us the pre load.. I took it right up.. I'm 5' 11".. it stiffened some and made the ride height nice ...the 265 lbs. Shouldn't scare anyone away. Honda managed to distribute it evenly just fine.. aftermarket is hard to find right now...but ofcourse its new... that will take time.. the disc brakes are nice front and back,they stop perfectly...I did ride on the road some.. had it in 5th gear,but did not wind it out.. however fast I was going was enough . I have ridden lots of bikes,owned some.. kx,ttr,dr,xr,the seat could be more comfortable,but otherwise I'm thrilled.. in Brazil they are mx racing these. And I see why.
