mxengineer I really like these real world bike test's and comparisons you share with us as it is realworld " vet guy " test video's for the real working man out there !! Don't get me wrong I like Kiefer and Josh ( from MXA ) test articles as well - but we are not pro level riders and need what I think is real world articles !!! It is getting colder up here in North MN so riding is coming to and end for this year ( I removed battery from my 23 SX KTM smoker yesterday and prepped it for winter storage ) we are still planning 2 days at Millville next week ( my buddies and I were talking over the weekend and we were there nov 18,19 last year and weather was high 60s ) hoping for the same next week - does riding come to an end for season in ohio as well ??? Still looking green for 2025 but the 350s have my thoughts wondering ?? I wish Beta would push out an MX 350 ?? Prob right after I buy a KX lol
Glad you enjoy the channel and appreciate your feedback and insights on bikes! I love fall riding in Ohio but not such a big fan of winter riding(!!). We have ridden on a few tracks in late November in the past and hopefully the weather holds out and we can do the same this November. I rode the 350FE and 250WE back to back yesterday and loading video now. I wish Honda would make a CRF350R Works Edition!
Very good but these are woods bikes - surely you would test in the woods ? Like stall resistance 250 vs 350 vs 450 or who's got the lowest first gear or how much does each bike deflect on the same tree roots, what happens on nasty decents, which bike pushes from the rear the most,
Yes - I call it off road bandwidth. I've ridden them both in the woods many times! CRF250WE Fall Woods Ride: th-cam.com/video/j_IppiP7RMk/w-d-xo.html 350XCF woods ride: th-cam.com/video/C1D4ofw3J7M/w-d-xo.html
I spent an afternoon riding the new Triumph TF250X and did not find the engine to be strong low to mid as mentioned on the Swap Moto shootout. I did find the suspension setting to be firm and the forks stiffer (Pat Foster noted the firmer forks). The CRF250R Works Edition engine is noticeably stronger than the stock engine so perhaps a little better rating in shootouts.
@@mxengineer1 - Donny messaged me and said they got a new 25’ model Triumph and the ECU settings were much better.. is why they rated so high. That shocked me because I was told they weren’t ready to be released at all. The local dealer says mid to late next month
Pulling the two Hondas with a Honda!!! You need to be in one of their commercials! LOL
Have a great week and thanks for the videos!
Ride and Drive Red!!💪

I wonder how the WE stands up to the Yamaha and Triumph which is killing the 250shootouts so far.
U mean the shootout so far?
No love for the standard honda crf250r in the first 2025 250 shootout.
@@jpesicka492 - Swap Moto tied the Triumph and Yammy basically
