i used to hang off these reviews every year every bike, then i bought a 23 RMZ250 and i dialed in the suspension and now i just enjoy turning laps and honing in my technique and forgot about the bike for a while. So easy to get caught up but really all we need is an rmz250....
in other words, it now handles like an RMZ, bogs less than a Kawi, might have the mid range of a KTM, with the same limited top end rev of the Yamaha. fine. i want one.
It’s pretty funny all these OEMs still invite Keefer out for intros/testing when Triumph pays Keefer to develop motorcycles. It’s like an open invitation to your comp. Crazy Times!
Ride em like ya stole em. They don't last long enough to worry about. Pros practice bikes get rebuilt every 10 to 20 hrs. Race bikes more often than that. 250 class costs way too much to ride. Trailriding or just going easy id say 80hrs.. pull the jug and check it out. Yes they will run forever... till the piston breaks or timing chain fails. But those can be catastrophic.
@@woodysrockspyro6436depends on how you ride. I’ve gone 90hrs on a top end with my 250 and no problems. I also take care of my bikes and don’t abuse them. Smoother is faster not revving the bike to the moon otherwise Barcia would be a multiple 450 champ. Also factory bikes are nothing like a stock bike or anything you get from the showroom floor.
I'm a local 450A rider and you aint far off my friend...I thought the same thing. A little more muted but same tone, kinda beefy, especially compared to the 24 CR250 I heard at tracks last season.
I personally don’t believe small percentages in frame rigidity and stuff like that makes a bike comfortable or uncomfortable. I think it comes down to the suspension, tires and tuning on those things that people are feeling. That’s just my opinion though. I think a lot of these things have become talkings points and phrases.

Looks a lot better in person. I want the 250 RWE, so I need to close some deals!!!!
Now do the real test. Glen Helen at 5pm on a Thursday
Exactly
Exactly.
Exactly.
FR!💯🤟
Bingo😂
..what can you learn about suspension on a smooth track?
The 80's style shrouds are starting to grow on me. At first I didn't care for them. Great video guys! Thanks
Somehow the redesigned plastic reminds me of Honda’s 80’s RC works bikes. I like it!
Red Moto 300 big bore kit and some suspension tuning and this thing will be a good woods bike!
Solid looking riding style for a 6’5” guy. Pascal looks way better on the bike than most of us tall Gumby’s do!

fine. i want one.
6’5” is nuts. Great review boys.
Mixture of 1987 front end with 2025 rear end. The shrouds give me that 87-91 vibe 👌
Like always great video
The exhaust almost makes it sound like it isn't running correctly or something - sounds ragged to me.
this bike is next level!
I like the minimalist graphics, I think.
Looks pretty damn good!
Loving the gear Kris. Old school Suzuki.

Keefer got some Swagggg! @4:00
Now When are they going to update the 150r?
What is the run in procedure for these bikes when you get em?
Or do you just ride em flat out straight away?
Ride em like ya stole em.

Great Revelation Innovation Enhancement Details...😅😊...um.......is this bike soo good.....we can dream....WFOs.
The exhaust note to me sounds like Deegans current bike. Amateur here though so I'm not gonna pretend like I know what I'm talking about haha

hey Mr Hall I like the video maybe someday you can take me up in your new plane when you learn how to fly it first
It looks like a 1990 Honda cr250 with an aluminum frame. The shrouds are identical
Looks so sick
Trying to build a bike to beat the Star Yamahas is no easy task…
Cho ass up they been doing it
Looks sick
He made that bike look like a mini in some riding shots. 6'5" aka: 8'10"..... Lol
Epic!
Keefer hauls
Love the way it looks and the improvements but man it sounds horrible in this video. Sounds burbly up top and the exhaust not just sounds weird.
Comprei uma. Estou satisfeito tenho 63 anos

Take it to RedBud and give us another video
Needs a hydraulic clutch! and needs to be a 6-speed 350rx.
Blink if you’re in danger
Eric 2025. 250R coming here 2615 love Feather Dr
All the new 250's muffler note sounds like a wet fart 😂 it does look cool however 👍
Get a 2 stroke, problem solved
They still sound better than any 2 stroke
look it
For the Love of God give the kid some eye drops.
want
He looks like jet
Top mader the motorbike :)*
Altamente
Not impressed. We want 2 strokes.
Tidy
Na mota trofa
Sounds like a bike from a playstation game 😂😂
✊🏻🔥🪽
Why aren't you at Glen Helen? Pala sucks.
its a Honda press day so Honda picked the track
6'5" 170 cant be healthy
Keefer is literally butt hurt when he rides this Honda
lol
If you run a stock pipe you will lose. No one can win on a stock exhause bike.
hat a crap review, not interested in what a Honda sponsored kid is gunna say.
Beauty! But, it may not be one of the lightest 250s anymore as for 2025 it gained 5 pounds…
Why he blinks so hard ?
He's signaling he's being held against his will😂
