Hi all

Am looking to buy a 250cc. But don't know which one to go or CR or a CRF.

I don't know much about bike, but i use to have a 1997 CR 250 which i sold and now i wish i didnt. And now it time to get another bike. Just want some thing to have some fun on.

so what you you lot recommend

Thats easy, if you're riding purely for fun the smoker wins every time! 2 strokers are harder to ride but way more fun, i had a road legal CRE500 and it was just a blast, pure fun everywhere you went, theres a factory road legal 250 if road legal floats your boat too, the CRM, its more or less an enduro tuned CR 250 with autolube Very Happy

Most people say the 4 strokers are better for racing and easier to ride but.. IMO they're a bit boring, none of that 2 stroke noise and power delivery

A 250cc 4 stroke will usually be compared to a 125cc 2 stroke, with the 250cc 2 stroke being compared to a 450cc 4 stroke.

So a CRF250 will have a fair bit less go than a CR250.

From what I've seen, the CRM is far from being an enduro-tuned CR. It's more a enduro biased trail bike.
The gas gas and KTM offerings in this area are considered much better for off-road riding.

What are you intending to do with this bike?
