2006 Honda CRF250R review from United States of America
"Fast, but wouldn't last"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The valves, clutch lever, and the motor overall.
General comments?
It all started with my clutch lever when I dropped it around a corner. From there it seemed like the bike just went south.
The valves were replaced twice in a course of 6 months, and the bike was rebuilt once. The bike was extremely fast but would not last. I have heard the new 08's RIP!
But once again, the valves had to be adjusted after every race. Also the air filter must be cleaned after every ride... Honda sure does make a fast 250f, but if you're looking for durability... definitely not the way to go.
