Positioned in Honda's cross - motocross motorcycle lineup, the 2023 Honda CRF250R relies on a 249.4 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 41.3 HP (30.1 kW) at 11,830 rpm while maximum torque reaches 20 Nm (14.8 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 165.6 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the CRF250R measures 104 kg (229 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.4 HP/kg (2.52 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 960 mm (37.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,477 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 6.3-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
