Honda CR500R Review

Advantages: Very, Very Powerful, Grips well, easily maintained.
Disadvantages: Costly, heavy bike, very high.

Well, where do I start. This bike is not for the fainthearted! Drop the clutch in at 4th gear and it still boasts enough power to get a wheelie going! I paid £3400 for my bike back in 2005, and since then the bike has had no problems whatsoever. The only things being the chain and the sprockets that wore abit due to this bikes power. This bike is rather heavy, and feels heavy when ridden. It is also very loud, so not for beginners. The engine ...
...maintainance, which is easily done. I would recommend this bike to many people, however, if your under 6'0 in height, you may struggle with this bike. It's meant for 6'0 and over to be perfect. Also, do not buy this as a first bike, get a 125cc and then work your way up the chain of power. Honestly, this bike is worth every penny. A must buy! ...

Honda CRF250r Review

Advantages: Reliable, Fast, Easy to work on
Disadvantages: Price, Common

...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 ...
...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 ...
