HONDA CRF250R (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CRF250R was an off-road motorcycle manufactured in 2004, following the introduction of the first motorcycle in the line, the Honda CRF450R. It was the four-stroke version of Honda's quarter-liter motocross machine.

In 2009, the Japanese maker released the Honda CRF250R, an off-road motorcycle that debuted in 2004. It was in the sixth consecutive production year and packed the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the previous one without any significant changes.

The motorcycle's riding characteristics were offered by a 47 mm inverted Showa cartridge-type adjustable fork on the front with 315 mm wheel travel and a Pro-Link swingarm tied to an adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear with 315 mm of travel.

The braking power was achieved by a single 240 mm disc on the front clamped by a two-piston caliper and a 240 mm brake rotor on the rear tied to a hydraulic caliper, providing excellent braking performance.

As for the visual department, the off-road machine was characterized by standard features, such as a high-mounted front fender, a single seat, a high-mounted exhaust system, a dual-sided swingarm, no lights whatsoever, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.

In terms of power, the 2009 Honda CRF250R's soul was brought to life by a 249cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine mounted at its core. The engine was managed by a 40 mm flat-side Keihin carburetor, delivering 43 hp with a peak at 11,000 rpm and 29 Nm (22 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
