When the 2022 Honda CRF250R was introduced, I was excited: I was hoping one of my favorite chassis to ride would get a little better in the engine department. Not all of my hopes and dreams came true in 2022, but I was happy with the gains that the little quarter-liter red rocket did make. Once I got more time on the new-generation CRF250R, I wanted to gain some torque and get a little more of a planted feel, so I sought out a couple of companies that know a lot about both!
