Motocross Bike reviews

HONDA 2023 CRF 250R IS JUNK AND HONDA DONT WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING. When I first got the bike it ran amazing loved it. The bike only lasted about 4 motorcross races with a 14 year old racing it and not running it as hard as it could be. Every race we changed the oil using what Honda calls for we also changed the air filter was taking good care of it. Then one day it wouldn't start HONDA said it was 12lbs low on compression and it jumped time so they took it apart and everything looked good except the valves. Put new rings in it and valves put it all back together starts right up and don't idle and lacks power. Honda has had the bike over a month has checked everything that has some type of power or has gas going through it and still nothing. Spent 1000s of dollars so we would have junk and it's junk and Honda pretty much says to bad Show less

Reliable??? No they are horrible for reliability. Have had mine for 4 years and have had to get 5 rebuilds and i dont even ride hard. And they start like shit. Its very hard to start in the cold and almost never will fire up. Just get a 4 stroke not a 2 stroke they are more expensive but way more reliable and low maintenance. Show less

The 2013 Y250F is a great bike and you will love it!!! Show less

Overall the bike is amazing. The power that comes out of it is extraordinary, and the 4 strokes can't compare at all. The back suspension is perfect, nice and soft, not a worry on the big jumps. The front suspension is a big stiff, but it's fixable. It's a fairly reliable bike, usually starts first or second kick every time and there's plenty of compression. I rode a mate's 2007 KTM SX-F250, and the power that that bike produces is absolutely horrible compared to the YZ. It's a perfect bike for racing. I usually ride in the forestry, and it's perfect for out there. The bike can usually get a top speed of about 150km./h., but obviously the bike isn't meant for long straights. It's got plenty of power for all the corners and the tight tracks. Overall, it's a 5-star bike. I'll never be upgrading. Show less

I read the previous review on the bike and felt the need to comment. I'm the original owner of an '08 YZ450F and would buy 20 more if I could. The bike has had very little issues outside of normal maintenance. In Arizona we ride year round with winter temps averaging in the 60's to the summer blazing heat of 110. With the extreme conditions the bike has held together great. The only issue that Yamaha could change on their bikes is the plastic sleeve for the compression valves in the forks. Over time they crack and affect the performance. You cannot buy just the sleeve, you have to buy the whole assembly at $250+ per side! I also have several friends that ride the same bike and they have very few issues with theirs as well. Show less

This bike is amazing. I'm smaller then most but this bike fits great. I have found that this bike is great on the track and on the tight trails. Show less

The bike absolutely rips. It shuts down all other 125's and can keep the 250's easy!! Buy it! Show less

This bike flows and jumps beautiful. It goes up hill, climbs like a dream and is reliable. I went up a 75 degree slope. Its engine runs clean and like a dream. This is the best bike for 11-to-12-year-olds and it's freaky fast. Show less

i upgraded from a Yamaha PW80 to a Yamaha YZ85. I purchased the YZ85 used, but wow it really blew me away. I love the comfort, speed, power and everything about this bike. I plan on racing this summer of 2011 at Birch Creek Motorsports in Danville, Virginia so watch out everyone! Show less

This bike has literaly sent me flying. It's a great race bike. One day I was messing around in first gear and gave her about half throttle and great day, mamma, she bucked up like an angry bull that just walked over a cactus. Show less
