Honestly the shroud design will be nice. To have your boots and pants not constantly catch on shrouds that "look cool" but don't perform. It's grown on me and the whole bike looks sweet.
It’s crazy to me that 250Fs have been produced and improved for the last 20 years with modern technology and they still don’t match the power output of the weakest 250 2 stroke on sale and don’t even come close to the strongest, yet cost noticeably more
It’s really not crazy at all, they have half the revolutions to actually produce power with. What’s really crazy is how close they are to 250 two strokes with that in mind.
@@dave194315 Not really, what 4 strokes lack in revolutions they make up in intake and exhaust efficiency. Per KTM, the 24’ 250SX and 250SX-F are 6 HP and 10 lb ft apart. That HP/TQ difference is massive even with 2 strokes being much less efficient
Fork settings? He didn't ask. Testers said supercross stiff. Why don't they learn from Yamaha, testers rave about comfy forks, Honda would sell more bikes. C'mon man!!
As a Honda 2stroke owner the new styling looks horrible, really hope they redesign it again next year. Its a shame to see them stepping in the wrong direction
It's lacking in the motor compared to the KTM, YAMAHA it's gonna lose the Shoot out for being to slow should of made the way Honda's are known for high revving engine 15,000rpm Bigger piston and barrel by 3mm denied all knowledge
Definitely not I love the power of the Honda over the KTM groups motors. Rode a 2024 Husky 250 coming off a 2014 Honda and I liked the Husky but then I tried a 2023 Honda and I love the power and control ability so much better. Hits hard on the bottom but it’s still controllable
This HONDA rep knows jack. Pretty embarrassing. Don actually did a way better job describing the bike’s new features. Anyway, no mention about weight…l guess because this 2025 is 5 Lbs heavier…No bueno in a 250!

I love the shroud design
I thought that was the worst part lol
@@chriscornish2319 Damn haha! Different strokes for different folks.
It really grew on me.
I don't like how small the rear number plates are
Same, love the throwback shrouds.
Excited to see more of this bike. It doesn’t look much different but sounds like there’s a good amount of changes
The shrouds are 82
Looks like the 1990 cr250r shrouds
Imagine if the 93' and 94' style graphics were coming back in a couple years
it's the 250 we thought we were getting in 2022 before we knew that chassis was a lemon.
Design is growing on me
Looks like the old Cagiva shrouds. ; )
CAGIVA! swap was thinking ATC250R...
There’s defo a retro feel to those shrouds, good shout for Cagiva back in the day👍
Not a honda guy but looks great!
The 80s look is so damn sexy
Looks sooo sick
Where is the CRF 250 manufactured - China, Japan or Thailand?
Inside SoCal... deffinetly Brian Templeton's buddies...👌🏽

@@dave194315 Youre exactly right. I dont know how that could be overlooked.

125 2 stroke will get smoked by the 259 4 stroke. Those are comparable, just as 250 2 stroke to 4 stroke. Knowledge is powerful
@@WilliamF55 I said nothing about 125s
the weird shroud look can be forgiven if we can add gold rims and a blue seat. i want one for the better handling not the looks anyway!
Honda the best japonaise machine :)*
They changed that pipe
The 24 is shitting on the 25 models to me
I have a 24 and love the look. I dig the look of the 25 model too, but haven't seen it in person yet...

Ride red gettin 😮
No commercial needed, just 2 stroke. Hehe

I have the previous model and i think the shrouds leave Much to be desired in terms of comfort
I don’t like the shrouds looks like the 88’
Shrouds
Wow, ugliest bike since the 1999 RMs 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Decals and shrouds look cheap
Yup ugly
The bike is cheap, but the constant repair and replacement of 250 4-stroke engines is expensive. Get a 250 2-stroke and save a ton of money.
Years ago honda riders were like ktm are shit they are poorly made blah blah
2025 honda says front axle makes huge difference
Ktm style 😂😂😂
And honda riders where correct.
Boring decals
This Honda rep was a poor choice for promoting this bike
Ur gay if you switch to four strokes
It's lacking in the motor compared to the KTM, YAMAHA it's gonna lose the
Shoot out for being to slow should of made the way Honda's are known for high revving engine 15,000rpm

Felt like an SNL skit. Uncomfortable 🤔🤨
Looks like a cheap pit bike
You’re a cheap pit bike
Yeah! You're a cheap pit bike!!!
Your a clown
Your mom's a cheap pit bike!
I was literally guna say ur mom.. lmao
Just not a Honda guy
Same worst motor in the class
Did Suzuki stop producing the RMZ

the Honda is fine. ya cant ride a dyno.
Tell us wat it weighs and HP
