I use to have a Honda xr250r.  Great bike, very fast!  Nice exhaust sounds tough.  But a real freaking pain in the azz to kick start!  By the time I'd get it kicked I'd give the bike to someone else to ride cause I was wiped out.   After it's warmed up it's nothing to start.  Only one person of 3 in the family that rode it could kick it cold on the first or second try.  Had to stand on the pedals and be on solid ground or lean against a tree to get enough azz behind it to kick it.

Miss the bike though.

You mean a CR250? That's alot of power just to let you know. You may want to try a 125 first. Do you have any riding experience on a 2 wheeled 2 stroke? Powerbands kick in pretty hard.  But to answer your question, yes CR's are great bikes.  -Mark

Im not getting to choose what bike I get....see heres the deal I have a 99 Grizzly for sale....and a kid called me last night saying Ill give you $1000 cash and my 2001 Honda 4 stroke 250 dirtbike...Im so ready to get rid of my grizzly Im about to take him up on his offer.....I have very little riding expierence on 2 wheels....but I would just turn around and sell/trade this bike for sumthing else, doubt Id be riding it too much, but with not knowing much about dirtbikes that is why I asked.      thanks for the info..

she said Xr not Cr, there's a big differance. an Xr 250 is a good reliable bike with a decent amount of power. it shouldn't be too too hard of a kick start, i kick a 426 though.

Thanks for the clarification BigB....would anyone be interested in this bike???

Honda are great bikes. Consider the crf 230 its got electric start. As long as the bike starts on the first few kicks go for it.

make sure is not stolen that 2001 bike is pretty new for him to give you 1000 bucks and the bike just a frienly tip. hondas hold thier value pretty good.
