    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.
