[QUOTE="mconnell, post: 709594, member: 37201"] I got a chance to ride a new CR250F yesterday. It belongs to a friend and has about 20 hours on it so it is broken in pretty well. I had much the same impressions as you. I've ridden a couple of CR450's and I too noticed the increased amount of compression braking on the 250. I loved the ergos of the bike. I am 5'8" and weigh 150 so it fit me really well. I own and mostly ride a KTM 200 MXC which is pretty fast little bike. In comparison, the 250F felt a little weaker than the KTM on bottom and through the mid-range, but I though the top end power was very similar. Either bike will destroy a 125 on a loamy track. The rear suspension on the CR had kind of a dead feel, but I think that's because I'm used to the KTM PDS rear shock which is kind of bouncy. As with any of the newer CR's, the forks were incredible. The CR ran flawlessly and I could throw it around like a minibike. It seems to have a little lower seat height than my 200, so it gave me lots of confidence in the turns. I love my KTM, but my next bike will likely be red. Honda's nailed this one!! [/QUOTE]
