HONDA CRF250R (2013-2014) 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 2013, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda CRF250R, an off-road motorcycle revised almost yearly. It debuted in 2004 and was the tenth consecutive production year, bringing new modifications.

The bike received a new aluminum frame with a lower center of gravity, an updated front fork, a new rear shock with a revised linkage, and a completely new exhaust system, making it more rideable than before.

In addition, the bike’s engine received a new high-compression piston, a new cylinder head and porting, a lighter radiator, and a new dual-stage injection system, increasing its overall capabilities.

Power-wise, the 2013 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 46 mm throttle body.

In the suspension department, the off-road motorcycle 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 312 mm of travel.

For braking power, the motorcycle packed a 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.

At the time, the 2013 Honda CRF250R was sold at an MSRP of $7,420.
