Honda CRF250X 2005 Reviews

We'll see - I've yet to have 'er out. So far, I think the guy who sold it to me got the better deal. Buyer beware.

On single track the 250x is superb. The light weight, solid power and great suspension make it easy to hit the trail all day long. There is no downside to the 250cc to 450cc in the tight stuff until you hit wide open desert or fire roads. If single track is your bag I recommend you lean to the 250cc. PS: Get a Rekluse on it - you would be amazed at what it allows you to do in the tight stuff and how much effort you will save through the technical stuff. I would give it a 5 star if it was available in a 350cc - that would be a perfect mix of power to weight. Hence 4 stars.

Needs some TLC

Except for the Valves, it's a good bike. Once you put in stainless it's good to go.

The Honda CRF250X is a great trail bike with potential to grow with the rider. The handling, power delivery, and light weight of the X make difficult trails a cake walk. With the right mods the X can be transformed into a formidable woods weapon. Overall I give the X two thumbs up.
