Best for
Built purely for motocross-style off-road riding and racing, with a road-legal designation that allows occasional trail-to-trail street use rather than genuine commuting or touring.
Built for
A high-revving, race-bred single-cylinder motocrosser that rewards standing, active riding with sharp handling, strong suspension travel, and eager throttle response.
Not ideal for
Not a good fit for riders wanting a comfortable seat, wind protection, passenger capability, or a bike suited to sustained highway or touring use.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

At 951mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2017 Honda CRF250RE, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
