They are a nice trail bike for easy/moderate trails. I had a 2023 that i put 32 hours on before i sold it and went with a new Beta 200rr for faster/harder riding.
Hopefully somebody will see this and reply to me. I have been thinking in between crf300l and this Crf250f. The scenario is the following: 15 years road riding at least 5 days a week (I have to 2 bikes and 1 car, I mostly commute with 1 bike while recreationally road riding on weekends with the other one). I recently started trial/soft Enduro riding with friends. I value more reliability and simple engines with low maintenance, I a actually kind of dislike high tech features that are expensive and unnecessary most of the times, also lightweight is an important factor. You may think Crf250f is the answer but my concerns are comfort and power. I worry it will be underpowered and crf300l is definelty the winner in the comfort category. P.D. Both are relatively cheap bike so they do not offer test drive where I live (I know, weird).
Depends on your purpose. The 250f will be much lighter for off road (like 40-45 pounds lighter). But the 300l is street legal. If I weren't going on the street I'd go with the 250f over the 300l.
I purchased this CRF250F in 2019 when it first came out,at 265 pounds it is a PIG,especially when you have to pick it up off the ground,I tore my bicep tendon and had to have it surgically repaired,just trying to pick this pig up off the ground. I sold it after that,I owned it for six months.It may not feel heavy when sitting on it or even riding it,try picking it up off the ground.
For me personally no but I think it’s just because I’m a smaller guy I’m only 5’7” 145lbs so I don’t need a lot of suspension to keep me from bottoming out
@@CastingWithCJ okay thanks yea im somewhat newer to biking just got a 2024 250F and upgraded the bars and put a riser on it cause im a little taller and it felt awkward but im only 155 pounds soaking wet and i feel the suspension needs a little work. could just be me tho lol
I am also running a chin mount, and I had the same issue until I got my new GoPro. Before, I had a knockoff, and the wide angle wasn't as wide as a true GoPro.

@@TommyNitro thanks Tom!!

you realize people with street motorcycles pick up 800+lbs perfectly fine if using the correct technique
My kx450 weighs the same with sumo wheels and it’s not hard to pick it up
I'm a 39 year old women and haven't had one problem picking this bike up off the ground. This sounds like a "you" problem.
Try picking up a 400lb+ street bike 😂
Did you have to make adjustments to the suspension for it to feel good?
For me personally no but I think it’s just because I’m a smaller guy I’m only 5’7” 145lbs so I don’t need a lot of suspension to keep me from bottoming out

wheres the gopro mounted i have mine on a chin mount doesnt show the bike as much though

@@CastingWithCJ i have a hero 11 maybe its the settings ill check it out thanks
It definitely is, however it’s got some weight on it haha
Very True It Is Not A Super Light Bike but It Almost Feels Like One Which Shows How Nice It Handles
