2004 Honda CRF250X Dirt Bike reviews

Recently I sold my z400 quad for one of these. Wow am I happy this thing hauls! But I needed more power so I added an fmf Q muffler with new cams. The bike will now lift the front wheels in forth just tappin the gas. Its nuts. The only complain I have is that it is tall for me but the seat is kind of hard for a long ride. Show less

I just got my new crf250x. I'm still breaking it in, but it is a nice bike! I tested some of its power and it lifted me up. Well, I'm only 120 lbs. but it lifted me up in second gear no problem! Love the bike!!! Show less

I have had my bike for just over a year now and I could not be happier. I previously owned a line of XR's and had ridden many other bikes, absolutely nothing comes close. It makes riding in tough situations much easier and fun. I have a good riding buddy who rides a KTM MXC525 and we get together every couple weeks and go. I have climbed every single hill he has, I am more and more impressed everytime I take my bike out. Best bike!! Show less

The crf 250x is the best bike out there. It handles great on any terrain you take it on and with mods it just gets better. I mostly ride trails and it's great on them but I also race it and there's no comparison with the 125 class it just blows them away. Overall I think it's the best money can buy! Show less

This bike is very plush. It handles any type of terrain that you can face. The low end torque is awesome. It allows you to climb a cliff starting from a dead stop at the bottom. I coverted mine to dual sport. I added a brake light with a license plate holder. I also added handle bar perches to mount two small mirrors. I sure get looked at while riding in town. I think the 250x would beat a crotch rocket off the line, but haven't tried it yet. I'm a little concerned at when I will have to rebuild the engine. Mine still feels pretty tight with 2100 miles with no more maintanence than changing the oil regularly. I have noticed that if you don't ride it for a week or so that it has a tough time starting. This may be from rejetting it or the cooler weather or maybe even both. But all around I am very happy with this bike. Show less

A fantastic, fun machine to ride with a great suspension. I took it to Cow Mountain and rode narrow trails, mud, and hard pack. It doesn't matter what I'm going through, it handles it all very well. The brakes were great going down the slopes in the sloppy stuff and never once did I feel out of control. Bike has not used any oil. I am using Amsoil 4 cycle Motorcycle oil. Show less

I've been riding and racing dirt bikes since I was 6. I've ridden WR250Fs, KLX300/400s, and 250E/XCRFS. The only bike out of that list that you can compare with the CRF250X is the WR250F. When I decicded I wanted a 4-stroke trail bike I started looking at Yamaha WR250Fs. I rode a couple & thought this is a nice bike. Later, about a month before I was going to get my new bike I saw the new Dirt Rider "Bike of the Year". I looked at it & went "WOW!" when I saw the new CRF250Xs. I rode them, looked at them and decided to get it. The reasons: more plush gripper seat than WR, low seat height but high ground clearance, and I just thought the rear light was awesome, you can barely see it compared to the WR. Those are the reasons I chose the CRF250X. This is an excellent bike for a beginner to a pro. Show less

After years of wanting a dirt bike, living two blocks from a desert trail and having buddies in this sport, I decided to buy one. After a lot of research and talking to friends who race, this one was highly recommended. As a beginner, I had no problems putting this thing in the desert and keeping my balance. This bike handles great in fine dirt and gravel, two factors which scare newbies like myself. I also like the fact that I really don't feel I need to upgrade to anything more powerful in the future, considering most of the riders I know claim I don't need anything more than a 250 on trails. Gave it a 5 all around and the electric start is a plus! Keep the oils serviced as required (check them before your ride)and a maintenance log for the fluid changes. Show less

This bike combines power with quick responsive handeling and a snappy response when you pull down the throttle. It is a little tall on me, but I figure I will grow into it better in about 6 months. It is just a really great bike. Show less

I RODE AS A TEEN AND UP UNTIL I WAS 26, ALL 2 STROKES. WHEN I TURNED 48 I GOT BACK INTO IT. I BOUGHT A KDX200 AND PUT ON ALL THE ADD ON'S EVEN RACE TECH SUSPENSION. THE CR250X IS A 5 STAR TRAILBIKE. I'LL NEVER TURN BACK. ALL MY RIDING BUDDIES THAT TRY IT WANT ONE. IF you're EVEN THINKING 4 STROKE, THIS IS THE ONE. I've RIDDEN THE YZ250F, KLX400, AND XR250, BUT THIS ONE BEATS THEM ALL. Show less
