      @@ronaldtartaglia4459 I had a CR250rj '88 FMF pipe ect, I got it in 1989 it had been Race 1 Season but was Still Fast & Fresh, I Regretfully Sold it 2yrs Later to by a Brand New YZ125, You do Dumb things When your Young!!😉 The YZ was Great, but Not a 250r Powerhouse!

    Such an incredible bike... the sound of that ripping was a trip down memory lane! This was my 4th bike, I whiskey throttled it in 3rd gear, somehow got off the throttle and saved it but scared the hell out of me, then sold it... too much bike for my just out of high school 115lb self - probably the shrimpiest kid to ever own that bike🤣
    Can’t believe I only paid $3,000 for it in 2003 and sold it for about the same... should have hung on to that!! Would have been a great investment - didn’t realize what I had😬

    What a wicked beautiful machine,I never mx but these late 90 2 strokes by Honda a reversed similarly to the early 70s Kawasaki h1&2.that 250 is more than enough for 99.5% of the population. That chassis is a "Dime".

      I had 2 of these. Road race motor that we nicknamed the beast. If you can win on this rigid rocket ship today you deserve the medal of honor. Most certainly not even close to being the best bike ever, it's not even close to being the best Honda 250 ever.I would rank the 96 CR as the best Honda 250 ever with the 2000/2001 a close 2nd. 2002 and later YZ 250 puts them all on the trailer.Far closer to being the the best bike made than the first ten aluminum Honda.

More power, Better handling, As nice in the looks department and much much better suspension. Guaranteed we are looking at 14yrs difference and like i said will never part with my trusty cr steed, but the yz yes better bike....but guess i will know in 4yrs if its as reliable???

Switched back to the YZ 250 in 2002. Stronger motor with unbelievable torque for a two stroke, unflappable chassis coupled with great rear suspension.The YZ 250 motor that debuted in 1999 is still powering the 2021 model today.
