Thank you for educating the world on the benefit of 250f's. I bought a 250 xc-f because of you and am so happy I did.

What is the point of changing the mapping when you are comparing two bikes ?? Wouldn’t it make sense to compare the bikes as is off the showroom floor the way a normal person would buy it .. that makes sense for a guy deciding which bike is best ..

I really love the reliability of the Honda but it frustrates me that the RX does not have a different transmission. It really should have a 6 speed and come with handguards.

Get the R, replace the left foot peg perch with the one that takes the kick stand, get the 18” rear wheel and keep the 19” as a spare wheel, have the benefit of the hotter ECU settings and suspension for the occasional Moto.

I will be riding in the mountains and am 6’2” and 200lbs. Would I experience that much difference? Or can I make the changes later? Should I think about waiting for RX?

I'm in a similar boat but I've rented dirt bikes 3 times. Each time I rode a Honda CRF250F. I loved that bike, and would definitely buy it (then again, I would have probably enjoyed any bike). I think 250CC is the way to go for a beginner unless you're really heavy, then maybe 450CC or if you're short, then you might want 150CC. My buddy rode the 150CC and the smaller wheels were much more difficult in soft sand just FYI. I saw from a different video that CRF250F was built really tough and should be low maintenance compared to other models.

“We run a little bit more Oil than they recommended “ … 3:04 🤦‍♂️ Pray why ? Americans (in my opinion) always do this. Every bike/car/boat / aircraft /Jetski I’ve owned in tbe States … there is a risk they over fill the oil! Don’t fucking do it ! It can damage things… The manufacturer knows more than you do!
