Honestly, fitting in all my thoughts on the 2018 Honda CRF250R into a video is pretty tough so I'll be running a QNA for anyone who's looking for more info on the new machine. Got a question or want more explanation, let them rip.

Currently on a 16 CRF250R, but looking to buy a new bike this winter. I know you haven’t ridden all of the 250s for 2018 but do you think this will be the bike of the class? Personally I think it looks badass but if I buy it, it’s gotta be better than the 2016 I have now.

Are the dyno numbers available yet?
ML, did Honda mention something about reliability for this new engine? I can imagine the high revving motor needs some more maintenance then the Honda's did before.
I'm fatter, lazier and a 450 is arguably too much for me once I get tired. But it seems this bike wouldn't be what I am after either if you are saying the down low is compromised to the previous gen uni cam.
Blue bike looks like it's for me then.
Why not full bomb?
Is it an exhaust version of the mullet, party on the left serious business on the right?
Whilst at the intro, have you had the chance to find out what the Geico people learned so far?
I like to ride my bikes in third gear most of the time, never really going down to second or even first gear. Currently I have a RMZ250, in tighter corners I have to help it with the clutch a bit. How do you think the Honda will be when ridden that way?
Also, it looks like fifth gear seems a bit taller this year. Could you tell if that is true, and if so a swag as to how much faster speedwise?
Thanks for the excellent video and doing this QNA!
Pit Row
As for Geico, their staff wasn't at the intro.
As for MPH, no clue, but I was in fifth on the track a bit today. You scream it and shift a lot.
We will have the winner in around a week.
