Honda XR250 Review - AWESOME VINTAGE ENDURO FOR SUPERMOTO!!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this supermoto related video we will be tapping into the world of vintage enduro, or should I say Vintage Supermoto, with a model that i basically grew up with. A motorcycle so popular worldwide and still has a rock solid following even up to this day despite it being killed off a long time ago, and that is the Honda XR250!

My first XR was a '98 XR250R. Absolutely magnificent. The combination of performance, reliability and low maintenance cannot be beat. Sure, a new generation 250 will have more power, but less longevity and higher maintenance. The 4 valve XR250 is a big leap in power over the XR200. Very different bike. I now ride XR400R, and that is the bike for me. All the fantastic qualities of the 250R, but with more power. I will be getting a second one, and gathering spares wherever I find them.

@@TheManoy66 While Racing in the woods, it was discovered an uncorked CRF230 with good suspension was the fastest air-cooled motor Honda produced. Even faster than the XR400 in the woods.
This video made me by 2 hondas! The CRF250L and the XLR250r 🤘 On point review Manoy!
I LOVE MY 2002 XR250R. I BOUGHT IT LIKE 4 YEARS AGO FOR A COUPLE THOUSAND BUT IN GREAT SHAPE. SINCE THEN IV'E PUT A COUPLE MORE THOUSAND INTO IT MOSTLY TO GET IT THE WAY I WANTED IT TO LOOK & FEEL. SO I REALIZE I WOULDN'T GET ALL THE MONEY I'VE SPENT ON IT BACK IF I WE'RE TO SELL IT. SO I'LL PROBABLY HAVE IT FOREVER, EVEN IF I WOULD BUY SOMETHING ELSE BIGGER IN THE FUTURE BUT THAT'S COOL WITH ME BECAUSE I HAVE SO MUCH FUN RIDING IT ON THE STREET & IN THE DIRT. ALSO LOVED THE VIDEO BROTHER!!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Thanks for the mention!

Your work is awesome man! 🔥
you are absolutely right about ownership. They do require a lot of fixing if you got it cheap. So saying, they look great. I got a black and orange 1985 XL250R, doing the carbs and cabling at the moment.

In terms of overall design i think the XL250R had the best ergos. Not too tall, not too high, slim profile and had the most agile handling.
Awesome video. Proud owner of a 1997 xr400
Good job manoy!
great video. I got a 03 250r in my garage
i bought last year my xr 250 l 1993 for 450 euros it was almost dead ... after a year and about 1000 euros later it is almost done... very expensive parts the valvs costs about 160 euros and the camshaft 340euros.. but i love it.. if it breaks again i will fix it again
I do have a Honda XR400 Motard, and actually, it's fun to ride, and never want to let it go.
legendary bikes 💯
Yeah your right its difficult to find spare parts, i have a XLR 250 1995 and XR400 03...

Brap brap💪💪💪
Im trying to get my hands on one of those, the 250 seems like a perfect bike, they are cheap at least where i live and my first bike was an 98 2 stroke suzuki so i think i can manage finding the pieces 😅
Greay direct owesome video. I am an xr250l fan, we for one and soon i dound another. Beat up but is a joy to ride them. We fixed em up to new but it was worth it, what i hate about it it call to. Much attention, everyone either offers to buy it or ask 10 southan questiins. I did not know pupular they where.
I have honda xlr 200r it's been 24 years, my dad used to ride it now he own crf240l so I now own xlr200r I love it so much that I got another honda xlr200r. Honda xr and honda xlr this is a go to bike.

Hey i just watched your only video. Where you from?
I want one , but I grew up on 2 strokes , I had a KMX 200 and 4 Yamaha DT125Rs the DTR was my favourite I have had a YZ 250 but that was not fun it was lethal ,I have had other bikes as well it’s hard to find a DTR , I remember when enduro bikes were dirt cheap in the late 90s could get good ones for a few hundred pounds
How about the xr400?
I have a 2001xr250r. Is there a set of supermoto wheels i can buy straight up and mount on or do i have to buy the rims and redo the spokes to the original hubs?
@TheManoy66

Not sure if Warp9 could make a set for your bike but i think that would be too expensive. I would recommend building your own set from a 2nd hand set of hubs. Just be mindful that the rear hub of those 2001 XR250s has 32 spokes and the front is 36.
Which old 2stroke moto cross brand and model can be rebuilt with new body kit, engine and all thing on same fitting without any alteration....?

Hi. Im looking at a 1998 Honda XR 250r...engine does not have RFVC badge on the head block... is it an original? Replaced engine? Replaced sticker?

If its a real 98 model then the engine doesn't have the RFVC embossed. From 96 onwards honda took away that marking on the cylinder head

Congratulations on your new bike! Where i'm from, a spare engine would be nice to have. Probably a spare CDI also since those burn out pretty fast based on personal experience. And never use iridium spark plugs.

@@john.s1962 the weight and height difference between the 250 and 400 models is very minimal. For the height, there are ways to work around that. A simple solutions is a lowering link that drops the seat height 2 to 3 inches. I am currently working on an xr400 and will be posting it soon. 😎
