Well Derek, I crashed at the truck at the track a couple days ago. I left the hospital with a fractured wrist, hip injury, sprained knee, palm size hematoma in my leg. I might need surgery. Pray for me
It’s mostly because if you are like me and are able to ride it to not it’s limits but you know push it, you realize the power is very lacking and the torque is horrible. I like the 21s however they lack power for the B and A riders.
@@pierceskidmore9806 Me myself , I ride 250B and to me at least the 2021 did not have the power I wanted, We threw a hot cam in it and a full yoshimura system and BOY did that make the bike have torque.
Derek! Great riding. I've seen the other video where you are riding a 2021 crf250r. You seem to really like it! I'm still between this bike and the 2021 yz250f. What do you think between those two bikes? Do you prefer one over the other. I'm 6ft 3 just like you. 190lbs. At... what do you notice as the big differences between these two bikes. I always hear lots of good things about both of them. Mainly that the Honda is a little underpowered on the bottom. Not really sure if I would miss that or not. But being a little bit bigger maybe I would? 🤔 I thought about getting the new Honda 450, and changing the gearing to make it less aggressive. Probably should still just go with a 250. Anyways... Great content. Look forward to hearing from you!
Hey Tommy thanks for watching! I've actually never ridden a newer YZ250F. I owned a 2005 YZ250f several years ago but I can't even compare that bike to modern ones. It seems the crf250r does lack a little bottom end power but that doesn't bother me much at all. The mellow low end power helps me stay smooth in corners and if you need power just feather the clutch and get into high rpm. What bike are you on currently if any? What skill level of a rider would you say you are? I think 250s are the best choice for most riders unless they are bouncing it off the limiter everywhere then a 450 would be better for the wallet.
@@DerekHallman I haven't been riding for about 15yrs. Last bike was a CR125. I've raced snowmobiles for a bunch of years. The 250's seem like a better choice. Just can't decide between CRF and YZ. The new Honda 450 looks great...I heard it's easy to ride. Just not sure if I'd like it as much. Thanks for the tips!
nice riding man i really think you should go back to the 250 4 strokes, you just seem to ride better in my opinion. or maybe keep both 125/150 2stroke and keep a 250f
I know exactly what you are talking about with the difference. I have an 02 RM250 and a 21 crf250r and the difference is crazy. My RM really isn’t that fun to ride as it beats you up pretty good on the track. The Honda feels stable, planted and with a full yoshi exhaust it’s super snappy.
Maybe it’s not heavier in the front but two strokes have so much BEANS that your front end comes up almost instantly and a 4 stroke it’s too busy trying to not suck a valve trying to wheelie
@@DerekHallman ohhh I see. Do you shoot in a flat profile then? I just uploaded my first riding video and I already have new settings for the next ride. Going to try shooting at 2k / 60fps / hypersmooth 3.0 with a chin mount instead of a chest so I can actually stand up and ride! Last was 1080p / 30fps. I appreciate you replying man!
I'd love to but I don't know anyone with one unfortunately. Switching bikes up is fun so no regrets either way I hope to ride them all eventually haha! Do you have a 350?
@@DerekHallman I do not own a 350 but from my experience riding 250f and 450f something right in the middle would be perfect. I feel like that is something that would fit you. Also my friends who own 350s love them and say they are a perfect bike with the best qualities of a 250f and 450f. Just a thought but if you want the crf250r I would go with it because you seem very comfortable and fast on it in such a short time. Thats always a good sign with a new bike.
No it’s just the new ones I got a 2008 250r and I’ve rode a 21 I love the 08 so much better Honda’s low key started sucking when they moved away from unicam
I love Honda’s but I live Derek much better on the 2 strokes Bc it looks like he’s going so much faster and it’s more interesting as excited to watch, love the bids even if your on a 4 stroke
@@DerekHallman I don’t know if you remember but I had a short convo in the comments 2 videos ago and I ask about a GoPro mount video, will that be coming soon no rush and again love to vids
@@DerekHallman sweet thanks man I had my family talking while the video was going but I heard him say what he was doing after going over the video few times lol. I might get a crf250 2021 at a bike shoppe .they want 4k u think good deal??? looks real nice
@@DerekHallman interesting cuz new 250f got 40 43hp stock your 150 got 40 41? But sure the power is more brutal on your 150 and i think is the best bike you can have for fun
@@mcchoco1019 nah most 250fs have right around 39 hp at the wheel. 150s have about 40-41 to the wheel, plus they are significantly lighter so hp/weight ratio is greater. At least that's what I've seen with all the dyno vids on YT. With that being said, the power on the 150 hits hard and must be shifted a lot. The power curve on any 250f is more broad and easier to use.

Best mx channel!! Would be fun if u test drive a zook 250 2021 /

Thanks for watching Ashton 🤘
That track is beautiful omg
Love my 21 250r, still haven’t pushed it to map 3 yet but she rips
Same it’s so fun
The last time I came across your channel was two yrs ago and you've become real good on flying now bro 🤘
I rode a 2021 crf250r and had the same reaction, I thought it was the smoothest bike I’ve rode one hell of a bike
Yo Denison! It really does feel so smooth. You're on a 250 sxf currently right?
Honda’s are comfortable bikes for sure.
This track looks so awesome. Especially to test out a bike and your self.! Nice riding. : D
