I was going to get the Honda crf250r but it was a little to big for me. I knew a few people with it though that say it's really sick.

I'm a huge fan of the CRF250R.


With the stock steering dampener, amazing fuel injection, and the dual pipe (I know they don't help performance all that much, but they look SO sick IMO) I don't see why you would get anything besides a Honda.

My best friend rides a suzuki 250f and loves it... Hasn't had any problems and we ride 3-4 times a week

I ride a YZ450F and I'm very happy with it; I dont see why the 250f would be any different. Your going to be getting pretty much the same thing with all the new bikes it's mainly your personal preference.

The 2010 crf250r has efi. I bet that is gonna be a really sick bike. I really love any crf250r though.
