Honda 250

The Honda CRF250R likes to win. Plain and simple. In fact, this machine has grown so used to taking checkered flags that it considers the top of the podium home. It's not easy, though, because when you're this good, everyone else is always gunning for you. And that means you always have to stay that much better, which is exactly what this year's all-new-from-the-dirt-up Honda CRF250R has done.

And we didn't have to look far for inspiration, adapting many of the same cutting-edge features found on the open-class-leading and championship-winning CRF450R. Like Honda's revolutionary batteryless fuel-injection system. A lightweight, more potent Unicam engine. An innovative new single exhaust setup. An all-new twin-spar aluminum frame. And our exclusive Honda Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD). It even takes some serious new styling cues from its big brother.

And the result? The lightest, most powerful and best-handling Honda CRF250R yet. Once again, it looks like everyone else will be racing for second.

Light Makes Might.

Compact and batteryless, the Honda CRF250R’s new Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system optimizes performance, and improves fuel efficiency.

Going Solo.

An all-new single-pipe exhaust system design moves the muffler forward, closer to the bike’s center of mass, significantly improving weight distribution and handling.

The Power of One.

More compact and more power – it’s all anyone could ask from their MX machine, and the Honda CRF250R’s all-new Unicam® engine delivers.

Straighten Up and Fly Right.

We've retooled the Honda CRF250R's Honda Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD) for 2010, ensuring even sharper cornering ability and straight-line handling.
