2017 HONDA CRF250R
QUICKSPIN
P96
really isn't any quieter,
it increases liability and
maintenance, and you
have two pipe-side num-
ber-plates that you have
to deal with when install-
ing graphics. Major pain.
(It does, however, look
kind of cool, so maybe
it's worth it to you.)

Everything we said about
the 2016 CRF250R you
can apply to the 2017
CRF250R, and that's
because, again, they are
the same bikes. Exactly
the same. Luckily, in this
case, there is nothing
too wrong with that. It's
a good, solid motorcycle
that you know can be
made to do whatever you
want, like win a 250SX
East Supercross title,
though you'd probably
need factory backing to
get the job done, like
Stewart did. Still, given
the right circumstances,
the right dealer and the
right price, the 2017
CRF250R is well worth
looking into. And if you
like what you see, don't
worry if the '17 Honda is
same as the '16, we
say, snatch it up! CN

To this day, the

most user-
friendly motors in
the 250F class.
