As a shorter rider, only 5 foot 7. Does the fact the seat being narrow up top make it feel a little shorter? Just wondering as it look much much more narrow than most db
@@dirtbiketv1 wow didn't realise that the weight difference was that much. Is there actually a reason why people still use dunlops other than them being a major sponsor in the U.S??? I personally believe the pirelli and michelin starcross line are way better (and lighter it seems)
Problem is the the *twin spar frame* digs in your knees and the mass of weight there. KTM 350 SX-F is the ultimate bike for all around riding. Aluminum is cheaper than steel reason the big 4 use it.
@@SLP-eb1wp It hurts the knees it is WIDE and creates a pedalum effect it is hinged feeling. Steel frames FLEX more and don't transmit vibration and are THINNER. That wide tank feel is how all of the 'big 4' build them. Hence the reason why they are all clones of each other. All other Euro bikes use steel frames and switched to Enduro as no one wants these Nascar bikes - they cost thousands to rebuild and the sport is tanked out. - Enduro is all 2 strokes - not maintenance intensive never end parts (4 strokes with no resale).
@@mt1885 nope completely incorrect, hard enduro (erzberg etc) is full of 2t's but for conventional enduros like gncc in the u.s and endurogp in Europe it's a 50/50 split between 2t and 4t. And the honda is far from wide, it's actually the most nimble and easy to bike to move around on every review since 2013 has said that about them it's literally what makes hondas, hondas. And before you think I'm a honda fan boy I actually own a ktm and honda
Where the fook are you getting your numbers from...? hahaha even a zookie is gonna be making quite a few more ponies than any of the old carbureted turds did, Those things where absolutely anemic and they only feel slower every year.
This is the first Honda every major media outlet has something good to say about it in years...even MXA!!! Wow...maybe Honda is starting to think straight again after 30 years:)
Japanese manufacturers are all still in the dark ages when it comes to clutches they just won't get away from the cable actuated clutch, lack of innovation and forward thinking.
They are goin to the Electric SCAM - mark my words Hunda will be pushing it like 15 minute run time for $10,000 and 8 hour charge time and a battery that cost $2000 and fails.
@@mt1885 yep. Here in California no 2022 models will get a ohv sticker. 2021 was the last year California gas powered ohv. Electric is the only thing that will meet emissions. You know these manufacturers can't lose CA customers.
I'm getting the a '22 250RX in January. Can't wait!!!!
Cant wait to see a 270 build done on one of these and comparison with the husqvarna 270 you did.
I’m starting to think that Honda has something to hide with this bike since the only videos of it are on a track with 2 feet of wood chips
Nice review Jay.
Track is why the Honda shines !
The bike looks so great. Awesome track too
Nice Jay! I am excited to see what you think about the 2022 250RX as well. We just picked up a 2021 YZ250FX and so far have been really loving it.
Beautiful bike
🔥right on guyzz, she is a very nice bike 🔥👊🔥🏍🏍🏍great review
Well me and my dad at trying to find one and we can’t find them any where they going out of stock at all the dealers in Florida
Great bike love the Honda

I do not notice it and I am shorter yet :-) email any further questions
Beautiful track!
Glad you like it!
It's too bad no 2022 models will get ohv stickers in California.
250 f or 250r ?
250R
Love my 2024
But I have the RX .. better suspension.
I highly doubt the bike lost 8 lbs. They put a 100 rear tire on stock so how much of that "weight loss" is just the bs tire they put on it?
Honda also makes the previous models gain weight so they can lose it again later.
Honda's have always had 100 rear tyres so they didn't save any weight there
The brand of tires changed to a lighter tire and they are 1.6lbs lighter total

@@tcmx712 Lighter is not always better for a performance Motocross tire--
when torque control is on, does the green light suppose to stay on? I turned mine on yesterday and the light wouldn't cut off
Should turn itself off after you hit 3rd gear

You realize you are suppose to grip with the knees? I think the CRF frame is easier to grip than the current KTMs.

Ktm all day
Its got less horsepower and weighs more then a 2004 Crf250
torque wins races not hp

Not thinking straight when not making 2-strokes.
Great feedback as always, and shoutout to Honda for bringing you boys out and getting a look, You guys deserve it!
Honda finally brought it close to relevance 4 years too late....

....and it will be absolutely ruined by a real CR250 2-stroke.
