Got my new CRF250R, fuel injected , ready to race right out of the box. This bike is the sweetest stock bike I've ever owned. Let me ride it a few more times and I very well may say it is better, stock, than any of my other modded bikes I've ever owned, including my favorite 08 CRF450R that I have sitting in the garage, that I have no wish to ever ride again now, thanks to my new 250.

It handles like a dream, and runs so strong, without any hesitation or bog issues that the CRF250 has been notorious for. FI is the ticket, I'm super picky when it comes to suspensions, and always the 1st thing I do is send it in to get it revalved, but this bike is about perfect for me just like it came. Honda sure got it right this time.

Looks great. Too bad they don't stay looking new like that forever.. :( I usually ride woods and that is even harder on them.

I am still holding out for the day that I can own a Service Honda conversion. Imagine your bike with a 500 two banger wedged into it!

Just got lucky that the dealer I gave a deposit to was one of the first in the country to take delivery. Dealers started getting them on the 6th. They are selling quick. Honda has cut back production, so most dealers are only getting 3 of them from now until mid Dec.

Due to the economy most dealers around here have them instock. Our etleast that is what they said 'none on the floor." That bike is soooo sweet! Im hopefully getting one in the next month. I have a 08 limited that i LOVE! Cannot imagine it getting any better.

Dealers are only gettin 3? Wow, I used to work for a dealer that sold 50+ CR250's a year (plus all the other models totalling 3000+ machines a year)

Nice bike. Did they stick with dual exhaust?

Only 3 until after around Dec. Some of the powerhouse dealers have been getting more. After the 1st of the year dealers should have plenty. I think Honda is worried about having leftovers sitting in warehouses like the last few years.

No duals this year. But the single sounds gooood!

You mention the suspension is spot on, how much do u weigh? (not counting riding gear), how tall r u? What class do u normally race in?

Here it is after some new stuff, Factory Connection suspension, Tag bars, Sunline bar clamps, ProTaper throttle tube, Acerbis white front fender, FX graphics and backgrounds, Applied Racing crankcase vent bypass kit, more on the way. It's gonna be sweeter than sweet come race season.
