2025 Honda CRF250F: NOT A RACER, BUT STILL A CHAMPION.
Introducing the 2025 Honda CRF250F…
What’s the difference between a CRF250R and a CRF250F? The first one is designed for serious racers, while the CRF250F is the perfect choice for just about everyone else. Built for trail riding and off-road fun, it offers the features that make Honda your best choice. First, its legendary reliability. Next, its refined ergonomics, that means you’ll have a blast riding all day long. Fuel injection means no clogged carburetor jets after a winter off, and air cooling keeps things simple. And finally, since it’s styled like our championship-winning CRF-R models, youl’l feel like a factory pro even if you’re just out having fun. Sized right for most adults, this is probably one of our most-loved bikes in our off-road fun lineup.

ENGINEERING
SINGLE-CYLINDER ENGINE
A single is the perfect choice for a bike like the CRF250F. It’s light, simple, fuel-efficient, and fuel injection helps it deliver plenty of smooth power and torque—ideal for a wide range of rider experience.
FUEL INJECTION
Fuel injection means the CRF250F starts right up, in any weather. Compared to a carbureted bike, it also helps reduce emissions and enhance performance and fuel efficiency. So say goodbye to clogged pilot jets when you put this bike away for storage.
CLEAN-RUNNING ENGINE
Another benefit of fitting the CRF250F with fuel injection is a clean-running engine. It even meets California’s stringent CARB emissions standards for off-road motorcycles—good news for everyone.
PETAL-DISC FRONT BRAKE
Check out that front brake rotor—the petal-disc design is right off the competitive MX circuit. It’s light, runs cooler, and also helps reduce unsprung weight.
HANDLING
STRONG, LIGHT TWIN-SPAR FRAME
The CRF250F gets a tubular-steel twin-spar frame that’s both light and tough.
21-INCH FRONT/18-INCH REAR WHEELS
A 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel give you a wide selection of tire choices for trail riding in a variety of terrain.
PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION
Thanks to our single-shock Pro-Link® rear suspension and Showa® damper, the CRF250F delivers excellent comfort, traction and handling, while also improving rider confidence. The rear suspension features 9.1 inches of travel.
SHOWA® FORK
The telescopic Showa® fork features large 41mm sliders. That makes it strong and helps add to the CRF250F’s excellent handling.
CONVENIENCE
ELECTRIC STARTER
Turn the key, push the button, and let’s go riding! Electric starting is a big help in all weather conditions, or if you need to restart out on the trail. A proven Honda system that makes riding just that much more fun.
COMFORT
COMFORTABLE SEAT POSITION
With a long, motocross-style seat, you can move forward and back, left and right with ease, helping you navigate challenging terrain in comfort.
COUNTERBALANCED ENGINE
Because it features a counterbalancer, the CRF250F’s engine is a smooth runner. You get the narrow overall width and power advantages of a single along with exceptional smoothness.
