CHAMPIONSHIP-WINNING PERFORMANCE

When Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence won the 250 East Supercross title on his CRF250R, he made it look easy. But then, when you put an awesome rider on a bike as good as this, it’s certainly not a surprise. We gave the CRF250R a major makeover last year, and now the world has seen the payoff. That’s because the CRF250R stacks the deck when it comes to torque and midrange power—where you really need it for critical track sections like whoops, managing jumps, or blasting out of deep loam and berms. Plus, we’ve gone to extra lengths to keep the bike light, narrow, and responsive. The result is probably the best machine we’ve ever built in this class—and remember, we introduced our world-changing CR250M Elsinore fifty years ago this season.

• BLACK RIMS: They may not help you go faster, but the sweet black DID DirtStar rims sure look good.
• LOWER SEAT / NARROWER BODY: Fine tuning the seat height and narrowing the bodywork makes it easier for you to move around on the bike and help enhance rider comfort.
• DETAILED BODYWORK MOUNTING: It may seem like a small thing, but every second counts when you’re servicing your bike between motos. Fewer bolts mean enhanced serviceability, at the track or in your garage.
• FLAT SEAT / TANK JUNCTION: The 2023 CRF250R features a flat seat/tank junction, including a titanium fuel tank. The superior ergonomics make it easier to move forward and back on the bike, increasing your control.
• "IN MOLD" GRAPHICS: With all the time you’ll be spending in victory circle, you need to look your best. The CRF250R has you covered. Our “in mold” graphics look great, and stay looking good. Plus for 2023 we’ve updated them to better match with our open-class CRF450R.
• REAR SUBFRAME: The CRF250R’s subframe uses extruded rear members that produce a 20-percent reduction in weight versus the previous generation. Since that weight comes off the top of the bike, it also contributes to the CRF250R’s low center of gravity.
• SMOOTH STYLING: Blending the CRF250R’s body panels does more than just make the bike look smooth, fast, and stylish. It also helps you move around on the bike while riding. Nothing wrong with smooth, fast, and stylish, though.
