Built around Honda's cross - motocross motorcycle platform, the 2011 Honda CRF250R utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 76.8 x 53.8 mm (3.0 x 2.1 inches) with a 13.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the CRF250R measures 103 kg (227 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 955 mm (37.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,488 mm (58.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 5.68-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
