the white rear fender looks pretty sweet!

It looks pretty sweet. I’m not sure I’m crazy about the white rear fender or not. At least it got better suspension (KYB).

very very very very ugly exhaust tip. and the chain& sprockets are boring,,,i agree with kimball. needs gold

toc27 September 5th, 2008 - 1:14 pm

kimball630 September 5th, 2008 - 1:59 pm

oorahusmc90 September 5th, 2008 - 2:53 pm

racerface607 September 5th, 2008 - 3:51 pm

the back looks like a ktm. and that exhaust looks retarded. i dont like it but i bet its fast

motoman575 September 5th, 2008 - 4:28 pm

u can definetly tell that the companys are giving the 09 models a more futuristic look.

codee527 September 5th, 2008 - 7:17 pm

i like it all except the exhaust. the tip looks retarded and wouldnt the hearder pipe get dented all to f#$% being in the front of the frame like that?

NMdesertracer September 5th, 2008 - 7:58 pm

I must say im a Kawi guy but damn I like the look. Good job Honda the only thing that worries me is the header. Yes its steel but it looks like its gonna get dented. Pretty dang sweet!!

spencer132 September 5th, 2008 - 8:40 pm

its looks awesome. but honda totally shafted the 250f riders for 2009. they dont get the new frame, suspension or motor updates. the get BNG and the white back fender. everything else is the same

kman153 September 5th, 2008 - 10:32 pm

wow thats a sick bike but yamaha hasnt really changed much unlike the other two but wow the new bikes are totally futuristic mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

h0lesh0t September 6th, 2008 - 11:30 am

LOOKS ALOT LIKE A KTM TO ME. I THINK THE HEADER IS GONNA GET DENTED TO HELL. AWESOME TO SEE SOMETHING NEW THOUGH. PUT SOME EXCEL RIMS ON IT AND SOME NEW HANDLEBARS HONDA AND MAYBE I’LL BUY IT. lol.

mattmoto441 September 6th, 2008 - 2:42 pm

well i am a honda guy and i dont like it the plastic looks like C*ap, and the header is going to be a big issue with dents, wow cool new suspension but the rest of the bike is butt ugly. look like im gettting a NEW RMZ or a KX.

dcshoeco024 September 8th, 2008 - 7:25 am

I actually like the new look. Its one of those things where its gonna take some time to get used to it cuz its a completely different look.

Adam153 September 6th, 2008 - 6:22 pm

It looks like they are trying to copy KTM with the half number plates. Besides that i still think it will be the best bike out there.

speedy jr September 6th, 2008 - 10:47 pm

the last 6 seconds where the best.

Tobias_From_Sweden September 7th, 2008 - 10:10 am

haha, i totaly agree!

hobiee September 7th, 2008 - 9:43 am

typical jap crap. lets find the best out there(ktm) and lets copy and mass produce, been doin it for years why stop now

motoxman495 September 8th, 2008 - 12:05 am

your dumb

dcshoeco024 September 8th, 2008 - 7:23 am

hobiee, u are an IDIOT! Jap crap? yea ok…….. I like KTM a lot but the best out there?…….Not even close, they might be the fastest but thats about it. And honda copying them like they have for years???????? what the hell are you talking about???? What is something that any other manufacturer has copied off KTM besides that the new Honda sideplates look somewhat similar?

motoxman495 September 8th, 2008 - 12:05 am

That bike is sick! and the last 6 seconds were sweet too!

hobiee September 11th, 2008 - 12:13 am

dcshoeco024 sorry to upset you i was just givin my opinion thats all, its ok to disagree i was not callin u out just chill. been on orange since i could walk and guess i am kinda biased thats all. again sorry to stir u up. last 6 seconds were pretty good if it makes u feel any better

motokid644 September 16th, 2008 - 11:45 am

everyone should go back to 2 strokes…….

juggalo12 September 16th, 2008 - 5:47 pm

I like the new 450, yeah it does sorta have KTM features, but I don’t care about that, if you really looked at it Kawi and Suzuki, with red plastics would kinda look like a honda. I guess that style of plasics is what looks and fits the bike best.

chris November 30th, 2008 - 8:51 pm

i love the bike i am so glad dat i a, getting my pretty soon cant wait to ride it and thankyou for putting up this video!

connor December 5th, 2008 - 2:18 pm

k i dont know why everyone keeps saying the header will get dented, does anyone over remember the bikes with mixxed gas…. come on ppl its the same as a 2 stroke would be, plus the header is smaller, i love this bike…im moving up to a 450 so the 250 doesent really worry me but i have a 07 crf 250r, and i really wish honda would have focused on the 250 a little more, maybe they will in 2010 but im not sure, hope they do….. still the 250 are fast bikes man, honestly there was not much that really had to be changed with them…. they just changed so much on the 450 that you dont even consider what changes they have done to the 250 …..

holden j December 8th, 2008 - 5:07 pm

i agree with conner the header isn’t going to get dented you guys are on CRACK!!!

robert rice January 8th, 2009 - 7:49 pm

MajorGreenHead January 9th, 2009 - 10:13 am
