its my pleasure to support an awesome channel like yours buddy! I went from a Yamaha, to a Kawasaki, to another Kawasaki, and now to a Husqvarna! I need to get more riding in to do the kind of videos you do! Thanks a million for the shout-out btw, it was so awesome of you to do so! Cheers!
Any time man. You deserve it. And thanks for the kind words and the stuff you sent. Above and beyond buddy 👍
I just purchased my first dirtbike and it's a 2016 crf 250 with big bore kit and pro circuit exhaust. Im 220lbs and this thing halls asss....love it. Great video.
I was going to get the crf250f but I saw two of your videos and it completely changed my mind and now I am going to get the crf250r great vids❤️❤️❤️
What's the difference between the 250f and 250r
@74 CYCLES duh...sometimes it's easiet and fastet to get someones opinion fool
I’m sticking with my kawi but I have a cr 125 too, gotta love the Honda power!! Great video as usual man!
Yeah kawis are awesome bikes. I’ve had quite a few. Honda takes the gold though 😀
MidWest MX I can’t deny that, Honda’s are great bikes!
I love your videos, always helpfull. I have a 450 been thinking of getting a 250. Thanks to your video I know I'll be making a good investment. Thanks again for a great video.
I’ve got a 450 now and it’s a beast but yeah the 250 is an awesome bike. All round great bike you won’t be dissapointed
Midwest MX I love your videos I look forward every day to see if you have a new video out. Your a huge inspiration to me and some day I really hope we can ride dirt bikes together. I’ve been also bagging my mom for her to buy your merchandise for me but she keeps saying no but I’ll someday convince her. My birthday is coming up in September and I would really like to see you reacting to my comment. Keep up the great work and I’ll hope to see a video soon. You are honestly my hero!
What an awesome comment to read. I’m glad you enjoy the videos savage wolf. Puts me in such a good mood when I read a message like this. One day I will get some merch over to you don’t you worry ✌️
Thank you so much
Glad to see im not the only one taking a crf250r off-road!
Dam straight! haha
Took my ktm xcf 2012 out for its first spin today. Couldn't be happier
I had a Honda CRF450 and it was a nightmare to ride in the woods. They just stall out so easy. And their little cute Pepe and could get ahead of you. I got a 250 now and just love it all around
Nice vid bud love the bike keep the sweet vids comin 👊!
Thanks buddy
I have the 2019 crf250r and it is amazing
Brilliant videos mate I love watching them! Me and my mates keep on saying we need to get over to you and go for a ride, we are just over the boarder so not to far away. I have a 1999 cr250, love for you to have a go on it and see what you think!
That sounds like a beast!!! Haven’t ridden a 2 stroke in a very long time but I’d give anything a go 😎
I just switched from a Kawasaki to Yamaha I’m loving the 2 stroke
Just bought my Honda CRF 250R 2014, awesome bike, I've also just bought some injector&valve cleaner as my bikes a little stubborn also, loving it though. Cheers
What’s the valve cleaner you used?
Man i just accidentally found your cool channel i just watch one video damm its so cool i just subbed on you From The Philippines..
Why do people want to go abroad when we have country side like that great video fantastic bike keep the videos coming 🏍👍
Just got mine tonight!
Seems like... And I hope I'm right...a good starter bike... Been mountain biking but now progressing to something with an engine!
Honda is also on my number one spot, because of the reliability. Nice video✌️
For sure 👍
I have a crf 250 like your videos are very good, hello from Italy
Here in America, Honda is the way to go. Dealers support is widely available. Had a Husky and getting parts was a four hour round trip to the stealership.
That place looks amazing mate 😍😍 Nice video too, Honda all the way 💪🤟
Team red buddy ✌️
Honda all the way 👌
Nice job man looks lovely over there too👌🏻👌🏻
It’s awesome. Come ride sometime 👍
I am 130 pounds (63 kg) and i bough the 250crf 2013, with a few upgrades (transmision and inyeccion improvement) and omg i love it, i tried, husqvarna, ktm, kawa,
Ones were too tall for me ( i am 173 cm tall, not too tall) and some were too heavy cause i am really lightweight, the chasis of the honda, is the best one so far, how it makes the turns, crazy 🥰🥰
Nice work mate I'm tempted to try a 250 4s as lighter and more nimble on the trails. But I love my HONDA CRF450r apart from the very heavy clutch.
TEAM HONDA
Yeah I’ve never tried the Crf450r, I had 2 kawasaki kx45f’s and they were fun but just a bit heavy for the hard stuff. Easier to ride though as you don’t have to rev it so much. Try it. I think it would suit your riding
@@MidWestMX I defiantly think they do have benefits the 250 4s and I think better on mx track unless a nutter. Only problem is like you say 250s need more maintenance.
I do love my 450 and it has it's purpose and when on the big areas just less stress on the engine. But on the small stuff 250 would be good defiantly
Yes just pick up my new 2012 crf and I am out tomorrow for its first outing cant wait🙂My two stroke s gone I have made the switch.
Yes! Let me know how you get on buddy. I’m excited for ya
MidWest MX just to let you know I loved it dude glad I have made the switch found it a lot easier to ride much smoother and controlled, went Abram in Wigan got a few hours in ,looking forward to hitting a few wor play days around Wales so are paths may cross one day. Cheers pal safe riding.
Glad you like it. The 4 stroke is way easier to ride and the Honda makes it effortless. Defo ride these trails one day buddy 👍
I Love Where You Live, Amazing places to ride.
Yeaha man it's an awesome place to ride. I feel blessed to live here
I have the same gloves but in black and they have saved my fingers many times.
They're pretty good. I was impressed
Whats the name of the gloves?
Thank you for the review ☺
Thanks for the comment buddy
Nicely done! Enjoying your videos mate, I just got a crf250r, soo good! Wondering what tooth rear sprocket you’re running when hitting the trails ?
AVERAGE_KDR I was running a 48 tooth but it wasn’t great. Got a CRF450R now. Way better on the trails with the lower rpm
@@MidWestMX 450 nice one! yeah thinking I'll gear down a bit try a 51 on the back, plenty of poke from the 250 😁 just getting back into riding dirt bikes.
Thanks for that excellent video snippet. I had been thinking about buying a bike. I had a bit of a play around when young but nothing much and nothing for 35 years. I have some land - Now live in France, and good trails where I live. I want to get a bike to do that sort of thing and get experience in the saddle/operation before trying to get my licence. I like the look of the Honda range and frankly being a bit older and not needing the cutting edge I think that 2019 CRF250R would do me.
You will be so happy with it. Nice and easy to ride. I'm sure the 2019 will be more powerful but knowing Honda they will still make it a breeze to ride. Glad you're back in the game buddy! Thrill seekers
Good damm TH-cam just makes me want to go and buy things. I think for the money and in the real world you get a lot with that machine. Well it's in to the Honda showroom when I get back from this job. It has shades of a Christmas present to myself written all over it - last year new car, this year a bike. Cheers and keep having fun...
No worries buddy. I was thinking maybe in the new year. If you get one for Christmas make sure you let me know how it rides. Be safe buddy 👍
Would you buy the 2019 enduro or motocross based on your trail types and experience?
It depends really. I got the crf250r because I do all types of riding. Trails, enduro and motocross track. If you're doing a lot of enduro then maybe go for the enduro version but if you're going to all sorts the crf250r is a great all round bike. You could always get the ktm exc-f which is for trails & Track. I just love the Honda. Its personal preference. If you've seen any of my videos you will see what kind of riding i do and if you do the same then it's all good
Nice bike, I’ve got a 2007 Honda crf250r! Where abouts are you riding??
Been watching a while now mate, great vids. I’m just deciding getting the sport, on average what would you say the running costs per month are ?
Really depends how much and how hard you ride it. Oil change is the main expense. Change oil every 12-15 hours if you aren't racing. Everything else is just lubing everything up and making sure nothing falls off haha. Not expensive at all buddy. Go for it
MidWest MX thanks for the response bud, I don’t think I’d intend to race as a lad was saying every 4-5 rides needs to change chain and sprocket etc. There’s a few places to go up in the North East so I’ll look into in the next few months.
You don’t need to change the chain and sprocket every 5 rides buddy. They will last you a very long time. Oil you change every 4-5 rides. Honestly if you’re just cruising round like me it’s cheap as chips
MidWest MX ok bud, that’s good to know. I’m going to look at what’s needed to make them road legal, I guess it’s just a light, indicator etc so I can just blast out from the door. Keep the vids coming.
one day i will get one crf this is the moto of my dreams.
did you get it yet
I have a 2008 crf250r, super fun bike.
Cute video 😉
Hello i have exactly the same bike as you,but i have really hard starting problems and now its not running. Valve clearance is made a week ago but it doesnt start. Can you give me any tips? :D
@@marvinblock3212 throw it off a cliff
@@j-mx8021 yes i did. Didnt had so much fun since my childhood
I need to get a go pro mount for my dirtbike helmet and great video I really enjoy them
Do it! Would love to see a dirt bike video from you 😀
Ok
Im only going to ride enduro and trails, so my question is, is it still fine to ride a mx bike in the woods or should I get an enduro bike instead for a little more money.
Where do you ride, looks amazing countryside..
Is it legal to ride out were you ride
Im still running an 06 and it sounds exactally like yours with a pro circuit exhaust.
Like 5 ! Bro !! The crf it’s a good bike !! ✊️🤟💪
It's the best! haha
Got one..... Best bike ive ever had!!
Hey man what have you done to the bike to make it a good trail bike?
I’m getting a 2016 Honda crf 250r how often do you do the valves and also how often do you do rebuilds
My Crf 250r rips love it
What's all in that like up there because at time 2:58 on the Drone View something pretty good size moving in the lake right below the Drone?
Just seen that. Weird!
Love your videos! I own a CRF 250r 2013, what is the product brand you mentioned you put in your tank to clean your valves ?
Thanks a lot and keep it up!👍🏻
looking at buying one, do you still feel the same about them?
Dude where is this trail, it’s so beautiful and long
DANGER DYLAN78 that’s what she said
Rooster why would she say "dude where is this trail"
@@ianpaschal7844 she might ride
@@conharv2270 u clearly dont get what the meant by that....
@@ianpaschal7844 because she already found her car
How is the r on trails? I’m thinking about moving up to the 250r
My seals went out on my 2016 crf250r after a few months and I got my bike brand new but mine isnt sagging or anything but I definitely need to get my shocks done.
I was gonna get a crf 250R but was able to get a deal on a yz 250f so I went with that instead, works great, but it sounds like the crf 250R is probably the best bike. Have you ever owned a YZ 250f ? Keep up the Great Work!
Yeah I had one last year. Loved it. Great bike. I just prefer the ride and the reliability of the Honda. Whatever bike you feel better on I’d say. As soon as I jumped on the Honda I fell in love
Your video pushes me Into getting my first bike, I'm from the north west and would love to get on trails such as this. Do you find places acceptable of mx bikes or just go into the sticks looking for these places? Tia
You could do both
The new Honda CRF 250's have dual cams also so you will definealty notice a kick up the backside 😂 i've got a 2016 CRF 250 R and it pulls like a train! great vid
Thanks buddy. Yeah the new crf’s are very appealing. Don’t know what to do yet. Another bike has turned my head. Video dropping tonight 👍
Hi. I also have a honda crf250r 2013 model. I came across your page recently and want to ask you something. I like enduro riding (probably not the right bike for it but I did not know any better when I bought it). How do you manage your clutch control on the bike with the enduro environment? Did you make any changes to the setup to accomodate it?
No buddy. Just practice. Get out there and you will soon learn clutch control. The crf250r is a great all round bike for all types of riding. That's all i do is when I'm enduro riding i put the suspension to soft and on the track I put it more to the harder side
@@MidWestMX Awsome man. I will keep on practicing. And I agree the crf250r is a great bike. I bought mine new and it has been the only bike since. But only recently I am in a position to ride more so that is what I will do. Thanks. I am enjoying your videos!! Keep it up!
What stuff did u put in ur gas to help start it
I like my lil 250r it’s a 04 so it’s got its problems recently had coolant get in the oil I think it was the cheap new base gasket that blew, put the old one back in hope it works now waiting on a valve cover and bolts one I broke off in the cam cap
amazing bike, i have the same! :DD
WiederDude you think this bike is good for beginners
Cristian Ventura nooooo alful
Miller am 5,8 ........why not
Well i shouldn’t have said that cause it really depends on a lot of things
Like your age, your skill level, if you have rode dirt bikes before or even bicycles, if your trails are hard, open, steep, narrow, rough with rocks, watery, and if you ride with other people if they are experienced and have ride for a while. An example of this is when u first started riding had a long background with bicycles and I rode small pocket rockets. Plus the people u rode with rode for their whole life and could help me with anything. The most important thing in dirt bikes is to not be afraid to ask questions, especially when your starting any questions that you have even if they are dumb you should ask( plus when you start out there is no dumb questions )
great bike bro. i have the same one
thinking of buying one
Im 16 but feel very comfortable on dirtbikes and i think myself im a good pilot im 5,11 should i get a 250 r a crf 450 your opinion?
I just wonder if you know what the winning sound comes from that is in the bakground off the engine sound. I got a crf 250 to and dont know if its from the clutch or what. Sorry for bad english.
I have no idea. I wouldn't worry too much about it if the bike is running fine. If you are worried then take it to a shop for them to look at.
The 2018 and newer crf250r have a redesigned/totally new engine with a DOHC engine and it makes a full 2hp more than the second most powerful japanese 250 4 stroke and less than 1hp less than husqvarna and Ktm 250s whilst being a honda a byword for reliability.
Danny Murphy there is no beating a Honda for an all round dirt bike 🤟
Do you think the same of older crf250? for instance a 2008 crf250r.
I need to know this as well hahah ^^ thinking of buying a 08 crf 250 next week from a dealer. Either that or a 150 sx
Hi there just got one last (also a 2015) week thinking of reselling it or keeping it, what would recommend checking over just to make sure its top notch, it starts second kick so i think its fine. Many thanks
The main thing on the honda are the valve clearances. But if it's starting ok then there shouldnt be a problem. Take it for a spin and make sure all the gears are fine. Other than that it's all good bro
Thank you so much appreciate it
Hi there really enjoyed your vlog mint bike I’m thinking about changing to a Honda 2016 crf 250 r special addition got a Ktm 250 excf what do you think cheers
Both completely different bikes. The crf250r is an all round bike for sure but if you're mainly doing enduro I would get an enduro bike. I've now got a ktm 250 exc tpi and it's changed my life
Unbelievable place !!
Nice bro !!
like 11
Thanks man
Bought a crf 250 2010 few months back and noticed it’s leaking from forks sitting in my van . I have lifted the back suspension. What’s your thoughts on this
Just maintenance. The seals on the forks go now and then, just need to get them replaced and serviced
Man I’m only 5,6 but want one so bad. Would I still be able to ride one?
Thinking about getting a crf 250 im looking for a cheaper one tho
If you are going to go track sometimes only just get the crf250rx it is meant for trail and track
I ride on my field quite a lot and go to Mx tracks when dry, atm I’m riding a crf 125 and I’m going to get a new one soon.can anyone help me what to get, Yz 125 two stroke or a crf 250r? Thanks.
Hey man what is the difference between the CRF 250 and the CRF250R? Does the 250R typically have more maintenance and problems? Deciding for a trail bike.
The crf 250 is built for trails. Gear ratio is longer and not as rapid. You might get bored of it pretty quick. The crf250R is built for motocross but it’s an all round bike if you want to have fun. I do trails, Enduro and even some really hard Enduro on it. The crf 250 is a full on Enduro bike so it will be easier to ride. If you’re just doing Enduro it’s probably the better choice. But no problems with either. Both built like tanks. Hope that helps
+MidWest MX sweet thanks man. Appreciate the reply.
@@MidWestMX would you recommend the bike to beginner? Also can it be ridden on the street then to the trails
Hi mate, could you link me the valve cleaner you dropped in the fuel? I also have a CRF250 and having the same issue as yourself with it starting. Just want to try this method to see if it works.
Thanks👍🏽
Ryan R www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorbike-Fuel-System-Injector-Cleaner-Additive-JMC-200-ml/292212984796?hash=item4409404bdc:g:XAAAAOSwwVRZjzvt this is the one I used. Follow instructions and add it to the fuel. Let it run through for a ride or so and then she’s good as gold 👍
Much appreciated thank you! Keep up the great work love your videos
Ryan R thanks man, and I hope it helps 👍
@@MidWestMX hi! Good day! Just asking if i can use it in 2005 model? Carburator type? Or for fuel injected model only of crf?
should i change from a crf230 to a crf250? i’m torn between the 2
100 percent, my old 150r feels way faster than a 230. The 250s just in another league
Alright mate, I have a 2005 CRF250 and I’m having a little starting issues, it starts 1or 2 kicks cold but when it’s hot it’s a pain in the ass!! You mentioned you tried a fuel additive to clean your valves and it fixed your problem, can you remember what you used? I know it is probably my shimms but it starts no probs cold and want to try the easy option before opening the top end!! Cheers
Yeah you’re in the same boat as me buddy. I can’t remember the name but it was a valve and carb cleaner. I will try find out the make of it for you. It was a fuel additive and one I ran it through the bike has been 1 kick start ever since. Definitely try that. I will get back to you
Perfect!! cheers
MidWest MX any update on the name of that cleaner?
FlyinOnPiff yeah sorry man totally slipped my mind. Putoline fuel inject and valve cleaner. You can buy it on eBay for £11.50. It’s a fuel additive. Cleans your tank, valves, carbs etc. Will make your bike a bit more responsive too. Good stuff 👍
Do you have a weighted flywheel? Or any other trail riding mods?
No I have nothing 😂😂 I use the bike for track also. But I might do a little project in the future
I know this is an old video and now you have a KTM but I'm gonna get the 2021 CRF300L in a month its only 5,500. You should look into that bike since you wanted a 300
He meant a 300 2 stroke. Big difference bud
I’m 16 and I’m 6’0, I have a lot of experience driving with ATV’s and other things like that, is this a good first bike?
Yea same i just sold my ltr 450 and im thinking getting a crf 250 because a crf 450 in my opinion is too much. Im also 6’0 and 17:)
Do you prefer the CFR 250 or the CFR 450? Thinking about getting a CRF but not sure which one to get.
The 450 is easier to ride but it's a lot heavier. Depends what type of riding you do. Whatever makes you happy
Thanks for the reply. Keep up the awesome content. Great to watch.
All I have to do now is just get my off road plate/sticker and then im taking the new bike out with some friends and going to have a nice day of fun:)
Like Your Video's btw, I like to get home and just sit down and watch some of your adventures you have.
I miss my 2006 crf250r
I love my 2008 CRF250R. Only wish it was electric start.
Me too buddy
You can convert it to electric start ... You need new cases to be installed to do this but it can be done for sure ...
@@mtbridingog9083
Do you have any links?
jason biggs I could’ve bought a 2018 or 2015 and got the 2015 because I didn’t like the electric start 😂
Hello gentleman,
Im considering buying a 250crf '08 from a dealer next week. Fully acrapovic kitted-out. For $2500. I'm a beginner but I can definitely hold my ground. Is it still worth it? Or should I drop another 1000 bucks for a 2015/16 model?
What is the range on a tank of gas? Trail riding that is.
I’m gonna go to a Honda crf250r coming of a 150f but want a bike with lots of power just wondering if the Honda has a lot of power?
The Honda has plants of power my friend! Go for it. If you’re already on a Honda it makes sense
Hahahahaha thanks mate
What is your opinion about the crf250 of 2006?
Is that what bike you have
Lov the drone futige
Hey nice vid would this bike be good for a first bike im like 5’5
Ryan _646 yea it would a pretty good starter bike but I’m 5,11 and don’t know how it would fit you. Might be better to get a125
Colton Wilson i think a 125 is like 37.5 some inches while the 150 is like 34 but they are both in my radar as my first bikes and thank you
Ryan _646 No problem. Are you gonna be racing it
Colton Wilson um maybe a bit i think it depends on how i am liking riding or so but if im not racing im gonna be riding on trails and my backyard
You dont seem like a novice rider. Would you recommend a crf250 for a beginner rider?
For sure. So easy to get use to 👍
@@MidWestMX Thanks for the feedback! i just purchased my first quad. Been on my list of things i wanted for a while. I might buy a 250 soon since I think I might get bored of a quad sooner than later.
Chris G I had a quad for years. They’re fun. Ideal world I would have both. But go for a Honda. You won’t be disappointed 🤟
Thinking of chopping my crf 450 in on a 250 as the 450s killing me round the track .. hard work 🤣
Did you find the 250 more manageable?
And if you don’t want the problem with air forks get a 2014 with spring forks 🤙🏻👍🏻 if the 2018 upwards isn’t in your price range
I just bought a mint 2015 that has spring forks. All race tech + rear suspension, it rides really good
@@jonahb8083 ye spring forks are better in my opinion
Did you change headers or just the pipes
Both. Got the full system
Does it make a difference. What kind of air filter you have
There is a 2005 Crf250r for sale by me , it has new , crank , piston, rings, seals , and o-rings all the way around he wants $2,350 for it , is this a good price?
farmingwithmark price is bout right. Not too high but not too low either. Definitely try to bring the price down anyway. 👍
Brandon Rogers thank for the response , I talked him down to 2,100
farmingwithmark nice work brother👍
Brandon Rogers thx man , I picked it up today I got it for $2,000!!! And it came with a stand and it has a set of rims that are 500 new , also very clean bike
Brandon Rogers add me on snap chat and I will send you pics of the bike , @markkk_mm
Where is this trial
Anybody where he is riding in this video? Looks like a amazing place
the difference between crf and
crf r ???
What should I get Honda crf 250 OR KTM exc 250-f
It depends what riding you do? Enduro? Motocross? Or both?
What is faster honda crf450r or a yamaha yz450?
305._Aj probably the yz but the honda is better in other ways
Where was this filmed?
Mid Wales buddy
