Hi BWX, thanks for the note and for sounding off. We value feedback from our U.S. audience.

Back in another time I raced my brand new '84 XR-250R (First year with dual carbs, front disk, all new) in the OCCRA for a couple years. I was the only four stroke surrounded by YZ's, RM's, etc. (no rules on displacement yet) That thing was a woods weapon! Still have it. Wish I was there riding with you, Adam. That looks hellafun 😎

Had an 86” XL250R with dual carbs 4 valve head and that was an awesome dual sport bike. A little heavy but man, I miss that bike. It only had 1700 miles when I got it and was really clean. Should have kept it 😢

Superb review. I can’t disagree with you. Thanks for filming this.

@WheelieOutlaw 10 ай бұрын

Are those three things you listed in the maintenance section all you need to do to the bike to keep it nice and running for years?

@bluecollarbiker8005 Жыл бұрын

Top end rebuild ever 15hr are they fucking nuts that's a deal breaker for me.

Same thing was said for the 250X and I went for 10 years without changing anything in the engine.

Yeah, OEM suggested maintenance schedules are obnoxious. Don’t follow that BS

I really respect Adam's willingness to confess to being such a goon of a rider because let's be honest we're all gonna try and make that hill without downshifting at some point

Depends on what you intend to do with it. If you intend to trailer it to a race track maybe. If you intend to have an adventure without having to have a tow rig you would probably be better served with an air cooled dual purpose with a fairly low seat height.

@jgrc73 3 ай бұрын

That’s assuming one wants low seat height and soft suspension. Im relatively tiny but low seats are the worst for my riding comfort and true bike control. This little guy is made to scream past heavy ponderous adv build bikes with a backpack a camelbak, and a tank of gas. I already love my crf250r for trails and woods this is just even better. 👍🏻❤ Just a great bike and I want one 😩😂🤪

@DuhYaThink 10 ай бұрын

Want Yamaha too make a new aluminum frame WR200. With a hydraulic clutch and a carb. Electric start! Off road tuned kyb’s and that would be a woods weapon. Maybe I’m the YZ125X chassis.🤔😊

@KingofKahkis 3 ай бұрын

Look up Fantic bikes. It’s basically a a YZ300X with elec start, kickstand and headlight.

@davidbeauvais1364 10 ай бұрын

This is just a motocross bike with larger tank they didn’t bother with a heavier flywheel so it stalls plenty if you attempt some real hard enduro.

@wayfaringoverlander 8 ай бұрын

If you want a good all around bike get a dual sport bike that you can get plated to ride both on and off road that comes with a headlight. Here in the US, getting a bike plated is desired so you can go between trails with ease and do it legally.

The 250X had an offroad tuned chassis, wide ratio box and a bunch of other things that made it a great enduro/trail bike. The RX is a motocross bike with a fat tank. It's an embarrasment to Honda when KTM's and YZFX are "fit for purpose".

Also the 250X was from the 250R the same way the 250RX was from the current generation R, not sure what you mean. The 23 RX is the same formula.

Honda is full of shit with that maintenance schedule. I raced xc2 and xc1 on a Honda in the gncc series and we would change the oil/air filter every race, chain every two and piston you could get half the season on
