It's never the bike. It's who's on the seat.

the dudes bike who was doing wheelies sounded like an angry fly trying to smack through glass

when a honda is brand new they purr so smooth, almost sounds like electric

that CRF230 is right in its element there , ive just bought one and ive ridden it more in one week than i have ridden my KTM 250sx in a year , its a great bike for people like me that have have gotten old or lost their confidence

People hate on these bikes but in the tight trails they rip. You can push them 110% vs their big 450's where you can't even push them 50% in the woods. Not to mention how cheap they are to purchase.

this video does not do the 230 justice, the trail was far to easy honestly looked like a beginners trail just riding through paddocks the whole time. take the bike on a more difficult trail and you'll see the 230 truly shine in the slower more technical areas where on a bigger bike you constantly have to wrestle it through while a 230 will chug on through or up anything you throw at it

I feel bad for you, man! You were clearly stuck riding among a bunch of amateurs or something, until you finally got up front. What was going on? Most of them were riding so slow. Great video, it really does show the 230f is a very capable motorcycle.

looks fun!! those crf are bulletproof, nice place!!

Great video demonstrating that you don't need a big bore bike to ride well.

A bone stock crf230f or ttr230 may be slow. But proper re-jetting/ cheap mods will bring this bike to life. Not to mention how cheap they are compared to modern enduro bikes, and you don't need to constantly work on them

The lil red bike that could ! ! That motor dont' know quit, maybe not the wildest thing you've had between your legs, but its steady makin time, quite relaxing motor pace. Liked later in vid on some of the climbs instead of downshifting just tractoring out the taller gear, and it worked !! could take a nap listening to this, nice vid

Great vid. Those trails are awesome. Man I'm jealous.

Where were you at? That land looks like a lot of fun!

im 13 and i own a 2004 ttr225 and its great. slow, and heavy, but they make u have fun. AWESOME VID MAN!!!!

Had a CRF230F, it's a great bike, and I kinda miss having it around. Upgraded to a 450x now. But it's just a whole different feel. I don't know why these bikes get so much trash talk. They were, after all, a direct replacement for the XR 250, which was highly praised night and day. Although I liked the XR 250, I think the CRF230F is on par with it, and in some ways surpasses it. My friends would say it's a girls bike. But it didn't have any problems smoking my buddies KX125 on our homemade track.

Heart stopper at 3:18, glad that kid held his line!

Own one of these for about 10 years til I moved to Oregon. It really woke it up with a front sprocket, air filter, carb and exhaust. Only complaint I ever really had was the bars were far to short (width). Put some bigger bars and rode the hell out of that bike. In it's lifetime I think the only things that ever broke were minor things like brake levers, a shifter got bent once and I got a flat tire.

great video . I can't wait for spring!

The bikes amazing , I'd take it over my 450 in most circumstances

These 230 bikes will climb trees, with how they perform. I have one and I’m 13 but the thing just skyrockets through tough trails

Que buen lugar! Muy buena para comenzar con la 230! Yo compre una hace poco y estamos aprendiendo, Saludos desde Córdoba Argentina!

Hey Guy’s, don’t worry about the speed. One of these bikes being ridden by a skilled rider can smoke a inexperienced rider on trails. It’s 80 percent rider skill, 20 percent bike. Ride one and make the call. It’s much more fun riding a slow bike fast, than riding a fast bike slow.

I’m 14 and I have a 2006 crf230f and I love that bike. It goes through and up everything. It has plenty of power and will easily keep up with my friends yz250f. And overall the bike just feels awesome. I’m gonna put a pro circuit pipe and some others goodies on it

That looks like a fun place to be!

So jealous. If I could find some trails like this where I live I woulda never sold my 230.

Crf230f's are really fun clean bikes. My buddy has one, i have some videos of it up on my channel

I'm gonna get one of these next year. They seem super fun!

I have a 2019 230 and it is a very good bike! I love going thru trails on it cuz it will rip thru the trails! It is an amazing bike!

Its more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. This bike is a clear example of that. You can push this bike 100% and be having the time of your life, even if you're not going fast. But if you run a faster bike at the same speed it's not as exciting because you're not running through gears.

I don't care what anyone says, the 230 is one of the most all around fun bikes there is! Had a CRF for awhile, and now have the blue brother version TTR230. Never been happier! Electric start, cheap and easy to maintain, not broken down all the time. The only bike I need! I've ridden everything from old XR's to the fire breathing 500cc 2 strokes, but I feel more in my element on the little 230, it's easy to throw around and doesn't have that arm ripping power of the big thumpers and 2T's that just wears you out after a short ride.

Looking at this bike, anything but slow in your hands, thanks

What a sweet bike👍

They're a great bike super versatile I use one daily as a Farm bike.

"Anything but slow" well I wouldn't exactly describe them as fast either but for what it is they make good trail bikes

I learned to ride on the street bikes (zx6r) dirt bikes still make me worried due to how you ride them different. Looks like this does well I'm trails which is what I want to learn doing.

Epic Video. loved it

when you pass people on smaller bikes give them some space cuz anything smaller than a 150 or 125 has tiny wheels which are really hard to control. I used to ride a lil bike cr80 and the struggle was real until i switched to quads and now that im grown i just got a crf 230

Is this some sort of open-space track or something? Why were there so many riders? where was it?

Wow.... Where is that?

Where did this race take place? it is beautiful. Love the CRF230 great riding.

Anything but slow until you get to the near front of the line

Where is this? its super beautiful

Where is this it looks class

Where is this? Looks like fun

im actually looking to get one of these bikes, loved the video of it ty for doing it.. as for the haters they are cry asses who are butt hurt over someone who has skill and they dont.. dont mind the turds

How Tall do u have to be to be comfortable on this bike?

100% pure fun!!!

In a field a trail 230 should be hella good tho bc the suspension is so soft, I rode my cr125 through a field and it was so bumpy, on a 150f u barely noticed it

Is this NZ (looks like it)

That 2 stroke at 2:45 could CLEARLY smoke the 230f.

8:30 "...Friends? FRIENDS?...FRIENDS!?!??..WAAAAHHHHWAAAHH!!!"

Uruguay?)) Betete?

Have look at my channel for some 230crf trail riding and shes definitely surprised me of what the 230 can do honestly. Just a beast of bike mine has gone through mud holes, dropped in the ocean and huge hill climbs

I ride a 2 stroke 2002 honda cr250r but I still ride my crf230f because of how great a bike it is

Man i fucken love 230s. Because you can casually cruz around the farm not pissing of any of the neighbours. But if ya feelin rowdy ya can yank that throttle and your off. And if thats not enough. You can do what i did and jet the carb. Port the intake. And remove the baffle. These bikes are so easy to rip around.

Anytime and nice vid!!

were is this?

This is a video i wanna see. Im looking for a bike for my gf so we can go riding together shes never ridden before and this 230 is perfect for her

God that place is dripping with noob's

l like fun trails to ride , what state or country is this ?

how heavy are you?

Where about's is this ride bro, and is it a regular one? Looks a nice ride to take a novice on to get some confidence and get used to riding with other bikes. And to everyone saying it's slow, it's a friggen trail ride not a race.

I watched a lot of bad drivers

toooop amigão tmj sempre

That place looks so fun to ride at where is that?

Nice little pit bike

For a sec i thought the title said its slow lol

Does anyone know what kind of bike that yellow one is that has the loud exaust on it

how is the 230 slow just get a new and better exaust

Anything but fast😂

1:27 the fucking kid like “bich u betta watch out cuz my Yamaha 80 is gonna flog yah mate

people say they are slow because they cant keep up to a "race" bike but thats the point of a race bike XD its meant to be way faster than a none race bike

The crf230 is a great little bike, but to say it’s fast is ridiculous. It’s a bike for beginners. Any 85 2 stroke will smoke it. Now that being said, they are a very reliable trail bike that doesn’t require a lot of maintenance.

If you weigh 200 pounds are you too heavy for this bike ?

Ive been in themarket for a 230 for about a month but i want to know if it will be a good size for me af 6 ft 210 lbs

Where is that? Beautiful place!

dude calls the bike slow... meanwhile he's not giving it full throttle.

I'm 14 and 5 foot 8 and a half but I only weigh 95 pounds (I know I'm extremely light). I can't really go for a see 150f cause I think those are to small so I've been looking at the 230. My main concern is weight. Does anyone have any advice. I'm upgrading from a 1985 xr100

Hey guys, so i'm about to sell my yz85 for a different bike, since ive outgrown it. I'm 5'2 almost 5'3, and i've only been riding for a year, and ive mastered my 85. I've rode my brothers yz250f, I rode it pretty good, its just a little tall. So It's down to either a crf230f, or a cr125. I don't want something thats underpowered, and I want to be able to ride it good. I ride enduro most of the time, (hillclimbs, singletrack, ETC) and sometimes I go to the track. so what bike would you guys recommend? Cr125, or Crf230f

Where is this?

It’s not the arrow it’s the Indian

Well, I wouldn't call them fast either, me and my friend were racing he was on a 230 and I was on a kx250 I passed and left him in third gear, but they are good bikes

great video, I have one question though... Where is this

Rode my buddies 230 and it feels like a bike you would ride when you’re 12 years old. Makes me feel good that I spent my money on a cr250 and not one of these

I love my 230, the only problem i have is the weight or it could be the fact im 14?

What is he doing? is it a race or something?, I’m just wondering because I noticed all different ages and types of bikes, never seen a race like that.

Man I hate how 2 strokes sound

That thing looks slow.

they do lack in power so you do need to get a more powerful watercooled 250 when you speed up

Agreed I’ve went almost 80 on my 2019 230

How tall should you be to ride a 230?

❤️❤️ where is this track?????🍆

where are you riding bro?

That’s is not true they have 23 hp and weigh 200 lbs

Good old Honda can’t beat it change the vid title m8

do people actually go do this and ride in a line, where i'm from people race motocross or gncc or nothing, i didn't know people actually rode stuff like this.

My big Jett ttr230 would wromp all of these kiddies no doubt

this bike must be modded go check out other videos of the 230's there slower than a crf 150

A crf230 is anything but fast

My crf230f will go around 80 mph that's not that slow
