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. 2025 Honda CRF250R Works Edition story: https://www.cyclenews.com/2024/11/ article/2025-honda-crf250rwe-review/ R Y A N N I T Z E N FAVO R I T E : 20 25 H O N DA C R F 25 0 R WO R KS E D I T I O N VOLUME ISSUE DECEMBER , P177
