Boasting an all-new, more powerful, more compact engine with Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) combined with an all-new Twin Spar Aluminum Frame featuring the Honda Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD), the 2010 CRF250R continues Honda’s long-standing position of class dominance. This latest CRF250R sets a higher benchmark for impressive power and class-leading handling all rolled into one competition-ready package.
Features/Benefits
New for 2010
• All-new, more compact engine.
• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI).
• Progressive Steering Damper (HPSD)-equipped aluminum frame
• All-new front and rear suspension, featuring upper and lower fork tubes and a shock body developed exclusively for the CRF250R chassis.
• Redesigned higher-capacity airbox for enhanced breathing and increased power also improves filter access.
• All-new single-muffler exhaust system improves mass centralization.
• All-new bodywork.
Engine/Drivetrain
• All-new compact engine.
• Liquid-cooled four-valve Unicam® 249cc engine.
• Engine completely redesigned for improved power delivery from a significantly more compact package that lowers the center of gravity and enhances mass centralization for improved handling.
• New forged slipper-piston material permits a thinner crown. Low-friction surface treatment ensures
high-rev potential.
• All-new Programmed Fuel Injection system (PGM-FI) utilizes a 50mm throttle body with 12-hole injector fed by lightweight 50-psi pump to ensure optimum fuel atomization and precisely targeted fuel charge. System also improves fuel consumption.
• PGM-FI system monitors throttle position, intake air and coolant temperatures and manifold pressure to accurately map fuel charge and ignition spark, significantly improving partial-throttle response and helping to ensure excellent rideability.
• AC generator enlarged to service the PGM-FI system. Two crankshaft position sensors quickly determine crank position to provide quick starts, hot or cold.
• New mechanical water pump seal improves durability
• Kashima coating applied to the clutch basket and clutch center improves clutch life and feel.
• All-new transmission ratios match engine power output.
Chassis/Suspension
• All-new HPSD-equipped Twin-Spar Aluminum Frame with forged-aluminum steering head. Spar height was reduced (70mm to 66mm) and width was narrowed (27mm to 26mm). Stronger downtubes improve front-end feel.
• Steering response and overall handling were improved by positioning the front wheel 15mm farther back and closer to the crankshaft.
• Frame, steering head and swingarm modifications permit a reduction in triple-clamp offset (22mm to 20mm).
• Removable rear subframe was redesigned to eliminate brackets. Shape altered to improve air filter access and narrow the bike profile.
• HPSD features a compact damper attached to the lower triple clamp and the steering head to allow more aggressive steering characteristics and assist straight-line handling. Damping action smoothly progresses as handlebar deflection increases, which produces very natural steering characteristics and feel.
• Pro-Link® Rear Suspension features exclusive Showa integrated reservoir with all-new damping and spring settings.
• Brake system integrates the rear master-cylinder and fluid reservoir, eliminating the separate reservoir and hose.
• Link-type front-brake master cylinder and a lightweight brake rotor provide strong braking.
Additional Features
• Engine stop switch features an integrated LED pre-ride check indicator. This confirms the PGM-FI system is operating normally.
• All-new higher-capacity airbox improves filter access.
• PGM-FI tuning connectors located behind radiator shroud for easier access
• Redesigned larger radiators, improve cooling performance
• New fuel-tank tether eliminates need to disconnect fuel line to work on top end.
• Rider ergonomics are optimized by adapting the handlebar, seat and footpeg height to place the rider’s legs at the narrowest part of the frame for improved comfort and handling feel.
• Adjustable front-brake lever for improved control.
• Quick-adjust clutch perch for easy cable adjustment.
• Aluminum Renthal handlebar (971 bend) is rubber-mounted to help reduce rider fatigue and improve comfort.

July 13th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
cant wait to get one!!!
July 13th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
And Thats why honda is the best
July 13th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
I hate Hondas. The 450 once its a yr old already hard to start. I have 3 buddies that have same problems. Wont be buying one any time soon
July 13th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
all new single sided muffler! honda is ahead of their time…
July 14th, 2009 at 12:13 am
ummm why didnt they stay with the dual exhaust! but its pretty sick anyways
July 14th, 2009 at 12:17 am
oh and dgizzy they had a recall on some 450's cause it was hard to start, so they put in a new cam for free
July 14th, 2009 at 12:47 am
yamaha is the way to go, two strokes for ever
July 14th, 2009 at 1:40 am
hondas are sick people. quit bagging on them about not being able to start. my 2006 clapped out 250 still starts easily so shut up definitely buying one of these
July 14th, 2009 at 3:04 am
is it just me or do the outer fork tubes look bigger in the middle than either end? remember yamaha's works bell bottom forks they tried several years ago? maybe these offer better rigidity and less chance of being deformed by the lower triple clamp, which appears where the bludge is
July 14th, 2009 at 5:49 am
maybe cause after a year of riding you should prob do some maintenence not just gas and go if you want that get an xr 400 idiot
July 14th, 2009 at 8:01 am
one part you and your 3 buddies should familurize yourselves with……shims
July 14th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
I like it. IF they could stop the valve explosions I would buy one. guess I need to see how much new valves are cause I may still need to buy this one.
July 14th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
pritty mean
July 14th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
maybe you should do maintenence after every ride like clean the air filter and after every year drain the gas and clean the carberator.
July 14th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
i think its good dual exhaust it is really just overated and when that shitty pipe breaks you have to buy a new one which is expensive as hell
July 15th, 2009 at 3:44 am
I know I'm being picky, but is it just me or does anyone else not like the white rear fender? Didn't Honda and Yamaha get the white rear fender out of their system back in '96-'97?
July 15th, 2009 at 4:54 am
looks sik as =)
July 15th, 2009 at 11:32 am
they dont have a carberator dumshit
July 15th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Buy it used or when dealers are clearing out stock next year. $7199.00 MSRP is too high for any 250F in my opinion, fuel injected or not.
July 15th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
i don't see how there should be any difference in price between 450s and 250s, they cost the same to makeo.0 the 450s shouldn't be higher
July 15th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Shim Your valves dumbass……
July 15th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Anyone want my 2009 so I can get this 2010
July 15th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
I've heard it's because R&D money goes mostly into the big bikes first, then trickles down to the smaller bikes. Also, they do weigh more, so there is a bit more material added to them.
July 16th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
wow for the price i can buy 5 used CR 125's and ride fore ever and smoke the 4 jokers. 2 stroke 4 ever
July 17th, 2009 at 5:59 am

July 17th, 2009 at 6:01 am

September 24th, 2009 at 2:39 am
They're out now and I just picked one up. I love everything about it. The power is great… it's so smooth and I love the way it handles. Way better than the Kawaskai KX250F in my opinion.
November 6th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
