I have a 2010, she's a freak.
Anyone who rides on the dirt, super clean 2-smoker find (CR250)

My 16 yr old has a 13 and it is nice. Fun to play around on, does everything pretty well. Low on power for me but everyone is different.
If you like high revving, linear power the 250f will be just fine. It is definitely going to have more power everywhere vs your cr125.
Good plan to keep you cr125, they are really hard to beat in the fun department!
They are indeed a lot of fun and I can throw it around with ease. I have gotten hooked on my buddies YFZ 450R/quad, powering out of turns is addicting on that machine! Admittedly that much motor, 450 in a dirt bike would be a big step up from my little thumper.
Resurrecting this thread to tell a cool story regarding my quoted post above.
Feeling nostalgic today... never really thought this would happen but have to give some back story.
Back in 2005, my dad helped me buy a brand spankin’ new CR250 (I was only 14 at the time and working for him as a landscaper).
I built, raced and meticulously maintained that bike until late 2011 when I decided to trade it for a street bike. Knew it was a mistake almost instantly and tried to keep tabs on the bike as it changed hands a few times.
Last night, a good friend recognized it on Facebook marketplace. Definitely rough compared to when I owned it, but had all of the same modifications and I knew I had to chase it down. Brought it home today and am extremely excited bring it back to perfection. Highly doubt I will be selling this bike again.
First pic is me sitting on the bike after a fresh build back in ~2008. Next is the day I traded it back in 2011, and the final pics is from today (somehow my front number plate remained with the bike all of these years).
That's pretty cool you found your bike.
I've been getting the itch to ride again.

Im starting to hate mine.. I did a 2 day offroad trip this weekend on my fully mx prepped bike... Man am I stupid for not buying a YZX or xc bike lol
honestly man I like KTM the best. I have a KTM 250sxf . It's not as fast as the YZ. But **** it seems so light and agile I can flick it around any corner. IMO KTM makes the best product available.
Kawasaki colors on a Yamaha? Blasphemy.
nope. The MFGs used different colors all the time =D
Im not brand loyal as everyone has their own experience (I had shit luck with KTM) I just want a bike of any color that is valved for trails ha
My buddy just dumped his brand new Yamaha 450.
5 drives, 5 hours.
Said it was too heavy in tight woods and throttle was like a switch.
Will go to a 250 2s

Pretty much my same story. I got a crf450 and eventually went back to a 250 2s (cr250). The 450 is way, and I mean way, faster and easier to ride at speed. But, the cr250 is so much more fun. I kept the 450, because from time to time it's a blast to ride. You can be so lazy on that bike and still pull through a lot of crap.
250 2T is the definition of the throttle being on/off unless hes going to a tpi ktm/husky
Congrats dude! Thats a wonderful feeling, like bringing an old friend back into your life.
Thanks brother! I am very pumped, it's a great feeling and I can't wait to tear it apart.
Sucks that the bike was neglected a bit my some other owners... kind of like recycling an old girlfriend lol!
He's had bikes his whole life. Said it was too much and too abrupt.
