Hello, My name is Sam Brown, I have been riding off road since the young age of 6, I am now 16 and I ride every weekend and am an experienced rider.

I started off riding quad bikes but very soon made my way onto motorbikes, and now I currently own a Honda CRF250r and I love it! I've rode big road bikes and I can honestly say the CRF will keep up with them on the corners fairly easily and it will accelerate past any road 250 on the straight. Honda are well know for their reliability and the CRF250r is no exception, I have owned mine for just over 1year and I can say its probably not had the easiest life screaming at the start gate of a race or slamming to the ground off a jump, but it has never gone wrong, I change the oil every three rides and the same with the oil filter and air filter and she's never missed a beat.

I stepped up from a race tuned rm85 which I thought was fast, my friend asked if I would like a go on his CRF250 and I had never been so scared in my life (in a good way)! I pottered down the road and thought it was nothing special until I opened her up; I almost fell off the back! I had never had so much power just at the flick of a wrist and soon learned although the power was crazy it was controllable and you could pop wheelies in every gear and have a laugh on it without going mental, so I had to get one.

I can still remember riding my rm85 and how hard it was to get up the steep hills and even hold a constant speed going up jumps, but now with my CRF I feel I can go up anything with minimal effort, the torque on it is unbelievable, you can go from a standing start pop her up into second rev, drop the clutch and hold on and you will somehow make it up to the top.

Another benefit of the Honda CRF250r is the fact that you can get it on to the road with minimal effort at all and you will experience all of the sheer power that it has to offer and still take it off road when you get bored.

So what can I say, get your self a Honda CRF250r and feel the benefits instantly. They are not just for the experienced riders but also for the beginners or for road racers who just want some fun.

Thanks for reading Sam
