 | Crf250r vs crf250x (need advice) I am looking and getting a used Honda CRF250 but i am unsure of whether to get the X or the R version. I know that the X has a wider gear ratio but i just wanted some feedback from someone with knowledge with the two models. I dont race or ride much on a track. Thank you for your help. Andrew |

 | Re: Crf250r vs crf250x depends how agressive you'll turn out to be, lots of guys will buy the X & find out that there're upgrading it to an R, You can detune the r suspension. The wider ggear ratio on the X makes it harder to ride in tight trails & hillclimbs. If your gonna be mellow & ride open country stick with the X put a plate on it & ride the gravel roads too.... I believe the crfx comes with lights........ |

| Re: Crf250r vs crf250x my friend bought a brand new 250x lets say 15 hrs later it needed a rebiuld. if you plan on doing some agresive riding and dune riding get a 250R. if you plan on sitting down and going on gravel roads or atv trails get the X. I took my dads advice and got a trail bike but now im on a motocross bike. They are both fun but the R is mabey more. |

| Re: Crf250r vs crf250x basicly these are the downs on the X X is ~20-25 lbs heavier than the R X has 28-29 HP, R has 35-36 HP X has softer suspension setup and valving X has headlight, tail light, kickstand etc. they need the same work to get them ready every ride. |

| Re: Crf250r vs crf250x the wide ratio of the x is better for tight woods pulls evenly throught the each gear and does pulls longer lugs along at low rpm in the tight stuff for less clutching and the engines use more durable valves than the R plus the x has lights which are required to ride on crown land |
