After riding KTM/Huskies for so long, I love this thing!! It's soo easy to ride. Definitely needs new springs, can, ecu, linkage, etc. but good base for trail riding. Love hill climbs! I can't believe your riding that w/ the stock suspension at your size. I'm 6'4" 225 w/ gear. I found it wayy too soft.....might have to give it a go and save the money.

I have a husky te300 2024 and just fixing up a ktm530 2009 so far I’ve ridden quite a few bikes in my life and the crf250f stock is by far the most bang for your buck and definitely the most fun to try and thread the needle with. Now I will say I find myself favoring the te300 suspension lately but the gas mileage sucks and the after half a tank I can’t ride a flat road or it runs out of gas (dumb fuel pump design) so definitely give and take

I am 6 ft 3 and 190 lbs. Would this be a good choice of first bike? I'm considering financing it

It would be a good stepping stone for skill building. Definitely not a bike to take off big jumps and stuff. But very good for trails and skill training, as well as trail clearing. Some people spend a ton of money on these bikes making them what they are not. I keep mine all stock and I’m 200-220 and 6ft tall I bought 3 of them because they were so amazing

How tall are you and how does it fit you?

I’m at 6’ flat and it fits me slightly small but allows for better confidence and movement in ridiculous terrains. I’m at 200-220 lbs and I’m on stock everything except a few armor pieces and tires. It’s the most bang for your buck bike you can get. Easy maintenance and easy price and a joy to ride
