If there's no F on the MX Honda bikes' side panels, this means we're dealing with a 2-stroke machine, and this spells massive fun with almost twice the power for the same displacement. The 2004 Honda CR250R was, at its launch, the only bike to ever go undefeated in the AMA National 250cc Motocross Championship, having won 24 out of 24 races it entered.

Light, powerful and boasting exceptional handling, the 2003 CR250R is a true champion's bike. For younger riders, this machine is a must in their career, before taking the final step to the 450cc class. Great for off-road fun, too, this machine will deliver outstanding performance of the forest trail or out in the wild.
