HONDA CRF250R (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CRF250R was an off-road motorcycle that debuted 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 2010, Honda released the Honda CRF250R, an off-road motorcycle engineered as light as possible that delivered an awesome punch. The 2010 motorcycle came with a few technical modifications.

The bike's control was improved, as the new Honda Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD) featured a larger piston for better and more precise handling. The bike also featured a revised monoshock and fork valving, a new exhaust silencer, and several engine tweaks, in addition to a fuel injection system.

The visual department 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, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.

Suspension-wise, the motorcycle packed a 48 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 320 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 power, the 2010 Honda CRF250R's heartbeat was set by a 249cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine mounted at its core. It was managed by a fuel injection system and sent the power to the rear via a five-speed manual gearbox.

At the time, the 2010 Honda CRF250R was sold at an MSRP of $7,200.
