HONDA CRF250X (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2005, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda CRF250X, a high-performance CRF machine created for off-road riders. It was in its second production year and packed the same specifications as the previous one without any changes. At the time, the motorcycle was sold at an MSRP of $6.200.

The Honda CRF was a series of off-road, trail, and dual-sports motorcycles manufactured and marketed by Honda since 2000. The CRF line of motorcycles came to succeed the Honda CR series.

For suspension, the motorcycle packed a 47 mm inverted adjustable Showa telescopic fork on the front that provided 315 mm wheel travel and a Pro-Link swingarm with an adjustable Showa shock on the rear that offered 315 mm of travel.

As for the braking power, the motorcycle packed a single 240 mm brake disc mounted on the front wheel clamped by a dual-piston caliper and a 240 mm brake disc mounted on the rear wheel.

In the performance department, the 2005 Honda CRF250X's soul was brought to life by a 249cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a 37 mm flat-side Keihin carburetor. It was set in motion by a five-speed manual transmission with a final chain drive.

As for the visual department, the bike packed standard fittings, like a high-mounted front fender, small side panels, a single seat, a high-mounted exhaust system, a silencer cover, a dual-sided swingarm, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.
