  • joebob Says:

    The intradaction.

  • doubleclutch706 Says:

    i think i found my christmas present

  • Whitmore Says:

    Wow a real impression. The guy said it lacked low end and the forks were too soft - a real impression from a rider with some credability! Over at Racer X they have Ping (who is the team manager of Team TLD Honda), and Geico riders Barcia and Wharton saying nothing but great things about the bike. Hard to believe their opinions when they are PAID by Honda. Lamers

  • clevmore Says:

    wow i want that new fox gear

  • on tha pipe Says:

    you must be a girl…

  • Josh Says:

    WOOT that is awesome. Fuel Injection baby!

  • some1 Says:

    all i need is to grow a bit because i got a 150 at the moment an im 5 ft 1 and that shall be my x - mas present

  • matt Says:

    hes not even going fast on it. if he raced B class at hot summer nights at perris i promise you he would not win

  • Michael Antonovich Says:

    Andy used to race Supercross and Nationals. He's been a test rider for years, so I'm sure he's capable of explaining how the bike rides.

  • J Hawk Says:

    Low end can be fixed just like the 09 CRF 450 go up one size to 49 tooth and your set. This bike will RIP!

  • loretta's!!!! Says:

    haha i would smoke that guy on my 06 but my 06 is all modded out not a single stock part on it but i garentee i would smoke him. get an A rider to test it

  • mx287 Says:

    if its totaly done up , you better be able to smoke it , not a fan of the new front fender and shrouds, it would be awesome if theyd show more than the same 5 clips over and over

  • rider 99 Says:

    250 two stroke

  • 313 Says:

    the fact that your here talking about how cool your bike is and how fast you are and cool you can be shows me that your bike probably sucks, your probably 15 and think your cool, but really arent and your probably slower than I am, and I'm not fast. but thanks for the comment loretta's

  • smart-jo Says:

    yeah!!! 250 2 stroke pushes way more foot pounds of torque than any 250 4 stroke and has way more horsepower.

  • duhhhh Says:

    i doubt any factory honda rider would say anyhting bad about the honda 250.( hint they ride for honda)

  • not lorreta's Says:

    i dont ride a 250 2 stroke bro!! and i dont remember saying that i was fast.and a 250 2 stroke stock is was faster than a 250 4 stroke. and you have probably never ridden both or know anything about the 250 2 stroke.

  • Some dude in Florida Says:

    SICK YO

  • NZer Says:

    2010 crf250 or 2010 yzf250? hmmm… 2010 CRF250!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SWO450R Says:

    That bike looks really sweet! I think the direction Honda is going styling wise is awesome! The only shitty thing about it is that it makes my 07 450 look out dated lol. And I gotta say lorettas, you sound like a pretty cool cat coming on here talking shit about TWMX's test rider. Really, do you think anyone is impressed by the fact that you claim to have a fully modded bike and you can beat the guy in this video? Get a life man seriously your more than likely a 220lb 14 y/o punk thats never thrown a leg over a dirt bike in your life.Get real! But if it makes you feel good you givver!! I thought the guy testing the bike ripped pretty f-ing good!

  • D-Rock Says:

    Matt Ive seen you ride and you suck buddy,

  • Billy Says:

    Four Strokes are so much better, just realize that

  • f u Says:

    o ya. im totaly gonna believe you now.

  • russ190 Says:

    now if only i wasnt losing my job in 2 months id so buy that. Guess ill stick to my 06 honda……

  • honest abe Says:

    dude that bike is so hoping that fatazz doing the intro doesnt throw a leg over it. what do they pay that guy with krispy kreme doughnuts.

  • Jeremy Says:

    I have an 09' with 50 hours and a ruined head and cylinder…..250 Two strokes are looking better everyday and they don't MSRP for 7,199

  • chadsux5 Says:

    bike looks like it waould rip low end bothers me though

  • Stephen Says:

    honda is amazing. good reviews and its stock imagine with after market parts.

  • #29brap Says:

    im so pumped that he said they start easy i have a 09 crf 250 and hot or cold its heaps hard to start them.
    Im so keen for them to come out everything is heaps trick now i like it.

  • TC2 Says:

    I'm still excited by the 2 air bleed screws, wow they are so awesome?

  • SWOP DONKEY Says:

    he says that it lacks off the bottom end alot. and then he goes that there is no bog spot what so ever. the only time you feel the bog spot really is off the bottom end. coming out of a rut or about to hit a jump and crack the throttle and wont that off the bottom responce etc. so i think he is totaly controdicting himself there.

    although i think the bike is a great bike and has improved alot i would still have to stay with the yamahas for 2010 as the fuel injection is still a prototipe for the 250f in 2010 and and they havnt sorted out there valve issues were the yamaha is so much stronger of a bike. i have 2 09 250fs valve bounced the hard as for a year. THEY ARE BULLET PROOF!!!

  • Matty#23 Says:

    If your forks are to soft get them set up for your own weight thats kinda simple!

  • CM Fade Says:

    Sick, I want one!
    Fade

  • marc159 Says:

    id like to see how long it takes to need some new valves….Yamaha all the way

  • The_Stig Says:

    Sick!

  • h0lesh0t Says:

    looks good, but too small for me!

  • MMASTERS Says:

    I know what you are dealin with jeremy. I got a 450 honda with a ruined head and cylinder. Sucks don't it!!!

  • mlp Says:

    this test rider sounds like a retard. uhh, he makes no sense. um, uh, yeah

  • yz125rider Says:

    two strokes are not as fast as four strokes but they are way more fun and could still easily beat the four strokes, because its not the bike its the rider.

  • haha Says:

    hahaha heaps

  • NZer Says:

    THATS DAM RYT SWO450R

  • wide clide Says:

    hondas suck period.

  • jcabrera Says:

    bike looks sick,sucks tht they show the same clips.cnt wait for the shootout comparison. the dude testing it didnt say anything about the efi either..nor throttle response.how is yamaha such a stronger bike?wht about the valving?

  • travisbarber Says:

    Let this test rider's commentary be a testament to the idea that people should seek higher education…kudos to all the pros who graduated from a public school, and big ups to the motocross racers who went to college…

  • bustah Says:

    49 or 48`s up front?

  • crrider94 Says:

    if you are 5 1 you willl NOT fit on the 250. im 5'7" and 130 lb so im skinny so i can fit the best anyone at 5'7" can fit on a bike and i barely fit on it.

  • crrider94 Says:

    swop donkey. i dont know WHAT THE HELL video you are watching but it's not the same one that i watched.. but he never said anything like "the only time you feel the bog spot really is off the bottom end. coming out of a rut or about to hit a jump and crack the throttle and wont that off the bottom responce".. he said that the bottom end lacks but he never said that it bogged and he DEFINITELY didnt say ANYTHING about coming out of ruts it bogging… bottom end lacking doesnt mean lacking and then you made up other sutff… so shut up

  • OCRiderDenham Says:

    I think andy is a good rider and that was a excellent first impression. If your still racing andy good luck in the season.

  • SO CAL RIDER Says:

    i think the 2010 yz250f would mop the crf.
    yamaha or kawi is gunna take the shootout this year.

  • gummby85 Says:

    That track looks fun to ride!

  • Kawirider Says:

    of course the suspension is gonna be soft for a pro….dirka durrr…first thing you ever do to a bike is get the suspension done…as far as the fact that he said it lack bottom end…i dunno what to say really…that sucks?

  • sec114 Says:

    i wonder what the high speed stability was like or headshake.

  • sec114 Says:

    as males for some reason a lot of us feel the need to shoot down a person in a position we may wish 2 b in. in this case it is the tester guy. i am jealous, but i respect his riding. nothing but respect from this old fart.

  • BABE <3 Says:

    NO JOKE, honda must think everyone who rides is rich by coming out with this fuel injection business. Ill be sticking with my 07 CRF450 i guess LOL.

  • BABE <3 Says:

    hes lying by saying it starts easier.

  • DUDE? Says:

    They get a fat boy from honda saying it has no bog, they they get some random rider who weighs 140 pounds saying the forks are soft. That cant be as bad as the yamaha 250f Australian guy video reviewer who repeats himself over and over. Yeah its new, oh did i mention its all new?

  • Drew213 Says:

    No he isn't contradicting himself, he is saying the bike doesn't have potent power on the bottom range of the powerband. gear the bike down, more power in the low end. not throttle response.

  • ROOSTER Says:

    i have ridden all the bikes as a pro mechanic, and seen how some are more reliable than others. Feul injection is way overrated and usually makes a bike feel slower on the bottom end. 450's need EFI to smooth out the power on the bottom so its a good thing. Whens the last time you rode a 250F and thought it need to be smoother off the bottom? How many racers out there have stock 250F motors? Many problems arise when you start to mod the motor, but instead of re-jetting your carb you have to reprogram your bike. For me carbs are just easier to live with the more mods you have. If you ever want to big bore the bike, good luck trying to find an EFI setting that will work. If you don't how to re-jet a bike what makes you think you will know how to reprogram a bike. It all comes down to being able to ride, listen, inspect, and feel what a bike needs then having the know how to give the bike the fuel it needs. I didn't hear anything in this test about being able to reprogram the EFI anyways. Some of you think EFI automatically adjust itself, but the system on your dirt bike doesn't. It runs of pre-determined fuel map that needs to be changed if ANYTHING in the motor is changed that effects the fuel needs. Honda 250F's blow up more than any other current 250, don't let anybody tell you different. I long as you check and change your oil regularly you should be fine though. These bikes like to blow oil out the crankcase breather at high RPM"s. and some people don't check their oil enough. Every 4-stroke can potentially do this so add a little oil every you ride if needed. Buy a KX250F and you won't have to mod your motor as much to keep up, anybody who has rode all the bikes stock will tell you the kawi has had the most bottom end easily. What you really need to exit corners fast and get good starts is bottom end anyways. The less you rev a motor the longer it will last.

  • jokke Says:

    I really love honda i im gonna get that one!!! it looks nice and i think the fuel injection is gonna make the bike much better :P + the honda still got the "white tail" love it love it love it <3

    -it's a Honda

  • cool guy Says:

    it also depends on how long ur legs r because i have a friend who is 5'8" and he fits on his 250 nicely

  • cool guy Says:

    I doubt it LOL he's pretty fast

  • cool guy Says:

    I agree with crrider94, STFHU!!! jk lol but plz Shut Up

  • bakken Says:

    well isnt that funny!! i did graduate high school and did a few semesters at a junior college… so maybe you should now the history of someone before you start talking SHIT!!!

  • BAKKEN Says:

    I love HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • BAKKEN Says:

    funny thing loretta's…..i am an A rider!!! any time, any place sunn!!

  • matt's a tard Says:

    1. Dude looks like a pro rider to me. 2. I didn't see any black plastics or tweaked levers on his bike either so I doubt he's a "B" rider. 3. If Matt's "B" riders are that fast, maybe they should move up to pro.

  • chase gunter Says:

    yeah it was really cool

  • matt Says:

    the rideris biased. matt armstrong over at Motorcycle-usa.com said that the new bike has more bottom end and mid-top end than last years bike. plus he liked the suspension

  • yamaharidr Says:

    Rock on Two Strokes! they have 11 more horse outa the box and are alot lighter and the cost is cheap all round. no more 1500 to rebuild. 250 4 strokes are junk any ways.

  • Bermbustin251 Says:

    Get em Bakken, how about i name a time and place and you can come give me some tips eh?

  • R.b#4 Says:

    sehr cool

  • juan maria matkovich Says:

  • d11racer144 Says:
