Racing can be challenging, rewarding, heartbreaking, and intensely satisfying—all in the same weekend! It has a way of separating the best from the rest in a way everyone can see. It'll make you dig deep and bring your best game to the gate—because you can be sure the other guy is doing just that. And racing is no different for a company, either. Our engineers have to work hard to bring you the best bikes in the class, and it's all on the line when that start gate drops. And that's exactly why you should be on a Honda CRF250R.The CRF250R is a finely-honed racing machine, but since it's a Honda it's also one of the most rider-friendly bikes you can find. Just look at how many privateers roll up to the track with a Honda in the back of their truck. Our 2017 model features a powerful, compact Unicam® engine with a high-lift cam and titanium intake and exhaust valves. The unique twin-muffler exhaust keeps the bike's weight and center of mass symmetrical, so the handling is unmatched. A Showa® air fork makes the CRF250R easy to fine-tune at the track, and the fully adjustable Showa rear suspension likewise lets you dial the bike in fast.
Every off-roader wants the light weight, crisp handling, and razor-sharp performance of a racebike. But everyone also wants it to be easier to ride, more forgiving, and offer the reliability of a machine that's not on the ragged edge. Oh yeah, and it can't cost a million bucks, either. Well, you're in luck, because Honda's CRF250X offers the best of both worlds, with none of the drawbacks.Based on our popular and podium-friendly MX racer, the CRF250X is powered by a four-stroke Unicam® engine modified for optimum off-road riding. We've also specially tuned the suspension for the trails, and given the rugged transmission wide-ratio gearing to handle whatever conditions you come across. Then there's the electric starter that puts you on the fast track with the push of a button. So take a look at the CRF250X. We think you'll like what you see.
