When I look back on all of the bikes I've
ridden this year, the 2025 Honda CRF250R
Works Edition sits at the top of my list. The
new Honda 250 is already miles better than
the previous generation, and the Works Edi
-
tion package is just icing on the cake.
Simply put, the $10,599 Works Edition
comes with everything you'd want to add
to a stock Honda 250. Full Yoshimura
exhaust system—check. Coated upper and
lower fork tubes—yep. Remapped ECU and
polished cylinder ports? Done and done.
Team graphics with a matching seat cover
and D.I.D wheels are the red-hot cherries on
top. The 250RWE looks and feels like you
stole an HRC race bike right out from under
the Supercross semi. And for $2300 extra, it
doesn't seem all that pricey when you start
adding parts to your cart.
Riding the CRF WE feels like a 250 on
steroids. The mapping and exhaust create
a connected feeling from the throttle to
the rear wheel, while the gripper seat cover
works overtime to hold you in place. The
suspension is an added bonus, too. It works
even better than it looks, and the coatings
and oversized rear shock give the rider
added confidence when putting the Showa
components through their paces. The bike
gives you a sense of extra confidence that
only gets better the faster you go.
