HONDA CRF250R (2011-2012) 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 2011, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda CRF250R, an off-road motorcycle, for the eighth consecutive production year. Like previous models, the 2011 machine had several improvements.

The bike came with new cylinder heads, new front and rear suspension settings, longer and wider footpegs for an extended feel, and new front axle collars for firmer tracking.

Regarding power, the 2011 Honda CRF250R's soul was brought to life by a 249cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine managed by a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system with a 50 mm throttle body.

For suspension, the bike packed a 48 mm inverted Showa cartridge-type adjustable fork on the front with 310 mm wheel travel and a Pro-Link swingarm tied to an adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear with 318 mm of travel.

For braking power, the motorcycle's wire-spoke wheels were fitted with 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.

Visually, the bike was characterized by standard fittings, 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.

At the time, the 2011 Honda CRF250R was sold at an MSRP of $7,200.
