About the Honda CRF250F 2023The machine

The 2023 Honda CRF250F is an off-road trail motorcycle with a 249 cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected four-stroke single-cylinder engine, SOHC valve train and five-speed transmission. Electric starting and a cable-operated clutch pair with a 34.8-inch seat height, 265-pound curb weight and 1.59-gallon fuel tank. Its 41 mm Showa fork provides 8.5 inches of travel, while the Pro-Link Showa rear shock offers 9.1 inches and adjustable spring preload.

The CRF250F rolls on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, with 240 mm and 220 mm disc brakes. It is for off-road use only, is not street legal in the United States and has no lights for night riding. The U.S. MSRP is $4,899, plus a $200 destination charge.

Who should ride it

This bike is for riders whose priority is recreational trail riding on an off-road motorcycle with a four-stroke engine, electric start and a five-speed gearbox. Its 34.8-inch seat height and 265-pound curb weight are useful fit and handling figures to consider when choosing a bike. It is not a choice for public-road commuting or night rides: it is not street legal in the United States and is not equipped with lights. The motorcycle is designed for an operator only, with no passenger capacity.
