I'm 6ft and 220 pounds I don't have any trouble at all with my crf250F or any complaints with the suspension or power it does fine over logs,v-ditches,rocks roots,hills and even if I accidentally put it in the wrong gear,I make less mistakes because it doesn't try to get away from me so I'm able to keep a steady pace on mine therefore my lap times are usually pretty good in tight trails

That's all I need to see. I'm getting a 250f. Thank you! Got yourself a new sub.

A good open-minded attitude towards improving your riding is key to having fun and getting better at what you want to achieve. Whiskey throttle riders learn the hard way.

5,9 14 year old beginner rider, would probably just ride it on some trails near my home, wondering if it would be a good first bike for me.

Forget the haters and the critics. Make your one way. I absolutely love the dirt motorcycle community. There is really something special there. Howevwr like any big group, there are some clowns. Your content is aolid, keep it up!

i have been trying to just focus on the bike and the road pushing everything else out of my head

keep doing what you do, love your videos.

All good points. I ride to have fun and ride with faster riders than me, but they never put me down for being slower than they are.

Great video! Also, just trying to always go fast takes the fun out of it sometimes. Do what you want to do and have fun, don't worry about the stop watch

I know the problem to well,I've got a 1990 xr200r I've been restoring on and off for the last 3 years ,when I got it all together I found out it had the kickstarter gear stripped out and I've got to pull the motor and split the lower cases to fix it and still not looking forward to that job

Your initial story about how you were so excited for your new YZ125 just to get shit on by the other kid is like.... What's so wrong with almost EVERY hobby. You have the people that instead of wanting to share the experience of enjoying the hobby with you, they would rather gloat about how much better they are than you at said hobby. Then eventually no one wants to part-take in the hobby anymore as the elitist snobs make you feel like an idiot for either not knowing something, or not OWNING a specific something. I feel dirtbikes have fallen way far from where they were in the past because of brand loyalists like KTM. Which is funny because most Husky owners are super chill and down to earth, it's just primarily the KTM crowd that just HAVE to shove their shit into your face about how their bike is .7 seconds faster than yours around a track. Also yes I know each brand has their own snobs like Honda fans bragging about how their bikes may not be the fastest but will 'never break down', or how Kawasaki fans gloat about how Kawasaki is the only brand making strides for the average person to be able to afford a quality bike, Yamaha is a mix of reliability while also 'out performing Honda', and Suzuki brags about..... Uh... Nothing, they've pretty much given up on dirtbikes hahaha. Also the UNIVERSAL HATE towards Chinese brands PISSES ME OFF to no end, I love how the majority of people don't realize HALF THEIR BIKE IS MADE IN CHINA.... Brakes, Piston, Wheels/Tires, Spokes, Fork/Shock components, ect.. Even KTM HEAVILY relies on Chinese parts. So when a Chinese brand tries to break into the market which IN THEORY would shake up the market and get the sleeping 3 to stop sitting on their hands, EVERYONE SHITS ON THEM.. Kove bikes look AMAZING for the value proposition they provide, yeah their a little heavier and a little slower, but their 1/3rd cheaper. People need to grow up and get over themselves, politics aside.. A fully Chinese bike shows just how cheap a QUALITY bike CAN be made, showing how the Japanese producers and dealers in the US have been RIPPING consumers for the last 10 years, updating graphics and saying it's a 'new' bike.... Also the complete abandonment of 2-stroke bikes is so depressing, could you imagine how the motorcross scene would be if smokers never died off? 2 strokes are easier to work on, cheaper parts though need replacing more often, have nearly 1.7x the hp and power of a similar displacement 4 stroke, sound AMAZING, and are TYPICALLY cheaper than a 4 stroke of the same displacement. That is one thing I will give Husky/KTM/GasGas is that they REFUSE to give up on developing the 2-stroke platform, Yamaha is just rehashing their 2 strokes from 2012 with new plastics, same thing with Kawasaki but at least they offer a factory BBK on the KX85 in the form of the KX112. My dream bike would be a mid-sized bike like the KX112 with a 150-250cc 2 stroke motor in it but to get that would require thousands of dollars in modifications on an already 5,600 dollar bike, no thanks :/ A bike from Chine that has come on my radar recently is the XPro Storm 150, I'm REALLY interested in it, but the ONLY issue I have is the suspension, there is NO aftermarket for it so I'd have to swap the forks and the shock completely from another bike, maybe a TC85 or something. But with that mid-range bike size, the engine platform can take a "Daytona V4 190" race motor that can be BBKed to a 212, and is street legal if you ask for a motorcycle title instead of a MCO from the seller XPro. Really interesting stuff coming out of China, it's like an offroad modded Grom but a bit bigger and a TON cheaper.

Awesome video!! Just got my first bike a few days ago a old ttr-125, it’s basically a pit bike and all my friends ride 250s, definitely need to work on the “smooth is fast” mentality!!

Another excellent video. Thanks for posting.

I refuse to be friends with guys like that. “You drive a Chevy? What are you gay?” type of guys. The everything I like is cool and everything you like is lame kind of guy. These people absolutely have no idea what they are talking about. Never matured past 13

Covered it well bud and don’t take the BS to heart. Keep doing your thing. My response would have been, “Thanks for you input, it would be great if you could share some content online tips & tricks to assist my progression as a rider”. Thanks Keep having fun. 👍🏻

Smooth is fast, that is 100% correct. I like your video's !

man i need those trails that your riding at! were are they located?

Lots of macho riders ride dangerously fast, for me riding is about fun, it aint fun to get hurt. 54yrs dirt rider here and still ride hard trail regularly and out running younger riders is fun but not necessary to enjoy my sport! Experience has its benefits!

Smooth is fast. I like that. Been trying to use line choice to help me go "faster". Like when you use a little bump on the edge of the trail to jump over another obstacle and it helps you keep momentum. My big problem was slowing down too much for difficult sections then having to accelerate again.

It’s a race 😂f that

Let the fast guys by and follow their lead. Its how you learn the fast lines and flow. Aint no point in holding someone up thats not racing you.

If it's a different class I get it, but if they're block passing you when we ain't even racing each other in the same class nah they can work for it 😅

Yeah that’s not racing. Never let anyone try to get around you or pass you- get better and faster and find away around people. If I’m bad at a sport or activity it’s not my job to cater to your needs, your a pro, “a class”, therefor you should be able to go around people safely. Not a good take whatsoever. GO WORK HARDER!

EXC is the KTM's enduro line, I'm not sure what is the difference between XC-W and EXC though - maybe homologation...? (Yes, enduro bikes are raced bikes but as parts of the race may be done on public roads, they are generally asked to be homologated.) Also, many of the more experienced riders I know say it's easier to ride motocross on an enduro bike rather than vice versa. In general, both are race bikes but enduro is tuned (engine, clutch, gearbox, suspension etc.) as a compromise between fast and slow parts, while MX towards the fast parts. Meaning enduro may not handle those big jumps or fast speeds on bumpy track that well, while MX is going to struggle on obstacles or when you need precise control, slip the clutch a lot in low RPMs etc. PS: Most brands that produce two strokes switched to FI (KTM, Husqvarna, Gasgas, Rieju, TM) and Beta has a mixer even though it uses a carb, so with most modern two strokes you actually don't have to mix fuel and oil, just make sure your oil tank is filled regularly.

I would definitely have to try it before i would buy. I've only raced and ride gas bikes

B.S. !!!. YOU NEVER LET ANYONE PASS YOU. MAKE THEM WORK FOR IT. THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED RACING. YOU MUST BE ONE OF THEM THAT WANT A PARTICIPATION TROPHY WINNER'S. CARRY A BROOM STICK. IF THEY TRY PASSING . STICK IT IN THE FRONT SPOKE'S. THEN HAVE A FEW SHORT ROPE'S TO TIE ACROSS THE TRAIL IN DIFFERENT PLACE'S. YOU WILL WIN THE RACE.

I like my 2023 crf250F alot but agreed lights,adjustable suspension and a backup kickstarter would've been nice,I've already put a light kit on mine since I ride around my property alot in the evenings after dark

C. I y. Ciccc. 0:56 😅

Im torn. Im looking at the 250rx and the 250f. Im 20 and light lol. (120) Im not new to bikes, ive been on them since i was little. However I have never raced. Only just riding in fields/trail riding with family/friends. ive ridden big bikes and I can handle them, Ive just never owned one. Ive grown up on my dads old bike that ive kept alive, a 1983 xl185s xD even the new 125s blow it out of the water. This coming up summer i am wanting to get into hare scrambles casually, nothing serious, just want to try out racing. I know the 250f would be perfect for trail riding and putting around the yard, but my fear is that it wont be up to hares. on the other hand, i know the rx would do them just fine, but how are they on casual trail rides? PLEASE HELP xD

I dont race sadly, but maybe one day I'll race vmx on my 87 kx125, as its an indestructible beast

I've watched a gangload of great videos about this machine, this one is the best. This is how I want to see a bike tested. I really appreciate that you took it on different terrain, from trails and not so trails to the track. Please continue with this format, you will get a lot of subscribers. Guar-an-teed.

You're not a b class guy. Just enjoy the c class for a bit. The b class guys vould start last and would pass most of those guys in the first 200 yds. The rest of them before the first mile. Just keep practicing and enjoy. Getting a better start helps a ton.

My best friend who was an A level rider finished 16th overall out of 800 at riders on completley stock 1986 Honda XR200r at 100 mile desert race which was insane and 98% the rider!😳👍🏁

Cool vid. I have a 24 crf250f, love the bike. And I'm 6'9"tall 250lbs. And it lugs me up hills just fine. Upgraded the suspension on it. But super fun trails bike. I'm surprised you said it's heavy tho....?

I always wonder WTF are these guys wearing suitcases on their backs also you are passing guys on bikes that cost 4 and 5 k more : )

Starks have come down to 11k OTD now. I follow a ton of e-bike channels and went fully down the rabbit hole on them. Still have not totally felt like pulling the trigger on one yet. They come out with a new e bike e dirtbike so often now it’s crazy. Anyways, would you trade the Crf250f for an ultra bee??

I heard parts availability is horrible. Any truth to this?.

I bought a 2023 crf250F and I love it,it's easy to fling around in trails and the e-start is nice since my right knee is shot,has just enough power to climb hills fine,you ride it it doesn't ride you,getting ready to buy a 2025 model for my son now

Good review. I'm mixed on electric bikes. Kind of cool but I still like the exhaust note and being able to gas and go.

very well done!!!

Been tossing around whether I want to get one as a single track ripper or wait another year or two. Once you add in the 18/21 rims and tires, new suspension, and a new battery, it's over $12K. The Electric Motion Escape looks bangin too, but the dealers are limited. The significant lack of maintenance is the main draw for me. A local place has a freeride to rent, may try out that first.
