MCN overall verdict

If you want a lightweight dual sport trail bike that can handle a short commute in the week and then head into the countryside on green lanes at the weekend – this is it.

MCN rating
Owners' rating

The CRF uses a de-tuned CBR250R engine with the benefit of more low and mid range power. Soft, user friendly delivery will help you make good ground without getting you into trouble. It’s also very quiet, ideal for trail riding.

MCN rating
Owners' rating

Good ergonomics , suspension a chassis means that the CRF is well balanced either on road when you’re sat down or off-road stood up. It weaves slightly at speeds over 65mph, but this could be just down to tyres.

MCN rating
Owners' rating

It’s an off road bike, so not masses available, but it has a neat digital dashboard with speed, tripometers and fuel gauge.

MCN rating
Owners' rating

Difficult to speak about long term reliability as it’s a brand new bike, but it feels typical Honda and high quality. If it’s anything like its predecessors the XL or XR250 it will last for years.

MCN rating
Owners' rating

At £3950 it’s over £500 cheaper than its main Kawasaki KLX250 rival and it’s better. Close to £4000 is still big money for a 250, but if you’ve got a passion for the outdoors and off-road it will put a smile on your face for years to come.

Had the bike a week, great bike I brought for £1400 with 70 miles on the clock as a demo bike. Comftable riding position, nice and quick low down. You can ride steady at around 65-70 mph for long periods. You could prolly get it for 80-85mph downhill. For the money it seems reliable, fun. Fun enough to keep me entatained! I really like it :)
