Honda CRF250 Was Trying To Slow Down And Mellow Out The CRF 450

The 2024 model isn’t any better than the 2022 or 2023 bike, It’s the same model, only with a $100 upcharge, bringing the MSRP to $8,299. We were mildly surprised when we found out that Honda wasn’t updating its CRF 250. For 2023 the CRF 450 received a list of small changes that primarily focused on the 450 four stroke’s power delivery, but it also gained some frame mods and suspension setting changes. Of course the 250 and 450 engines are completely unique and have different needs, so we didn’t expect the longer air intake boot, smaller intake valves or smaller Keihin throttle body of the CRF 450 to end up on the CRF 250. In fact Honda was trying to slow down and mellow out the CRF 450 by reducing airflow into the combustion chamber, On the CRF 250 they still wanted all the power and hit they could get. Dyno numbers don’t always reflect how you feel when riding a bike, but they do visually display the power curve so you can objectively compare the numbers to those of other bikes. When the CRF 250 was all new in 2022, our testers loved the power, It had a Yamaha YZ 250 F style of grunt that came on with authority, making it easy to get up and go. To our surprise it was actually slower on the dyno than the 2021 CRF250, which had power that we likened to that of a 125 two stroke. The 2024 Honda CRF 250 reaches 40,79 peak horsepower at 11,830rpm, with a peak torque number of 19,77 pound feet.
