I bought a 2000 Honda XR250 and was very pleased. The bike has a top speed of 65 MPH, and I can do a wheely in 4th gear. What is really great about this bike is its low end torque. We have a drive way that is at about a 30 degree angle and I can idle up it in 2nd gear. I could also go up just about any hill I could find in 3rd gear easily. The suspension is very good for TRAIL RIDING. I bought this bike thinking it could handle hard core jumps, and I was very wrong. Yes, it can clear 25-30 foot doubles, but anything bigger, and you will bottom out pretty bad. If you like to do little jumps then the XR250 will work fine. Just don't expect to feel good after casing a 50 foot double with this thing. Overall a very good bike, just not meant for jumping. Show less

I recently bought the 2001 Honda xr250. The weekend after I got it, I took it straight to the trails. I ran the bike through the ringer. There were at least 20 miles or more of rugged mountain trails. The bike handled excellent. This bike is great for beginners and experts. Show less

I have about 500 miles on the bike this spring and I have to say that I am surprised on how well the entire bike is put together. The bike has excellent response to the throttle, has great braking, smooth suspension, and tracks well through the ugly stuff like loose sand, gravel, and greasy mud. There are only a couple of things to watch out for. The 4-stroker is a little hard to start in cold weather so only kick it down on the power stroke. Also, the rear brake toe on the brake arm is too small and too close the engine to be easily reached. You may want to bend the break arm out or add a longer toe to the arm. Once it is started, you go all day and still feel great when you climb off the bike. Honda did this one right! Show less
