Ultimate Beginner Bike Build Timelapse - CRF250F

You all know I love the 2019+ Honda CRF250F, it really is the modern XR. Great for beginners, and with a few modifications even the advanced rider can find enjoyment with its smooth power delivery, low center of gravity and forgiving riding characteristics.

After going too stiff with my suspension setup I found it unenjoyable to ride and spent most of this past summer riding my KTM in the woods. By the end of the season I had convinced myself once again that I needed something bigger and better so the plan was to sell the 250F and buy a KTM500. Having been through the same process with the CRF450RL I thought I might give team orange another try since I really enjoyed the 350. But ultimately my riding style just doesn't suit those bikes and I want to have something that is reliable, plated, and likes to be ridden slow with minimal effort.

I had already made a deal with my buddy Aaron out in Colorado but I ended up getting cold feet and decided to keep the 250F that I had put so much time and effort into. I didn't want to let them down so in a last ditch effort I decided to seek out another bike all together and build it from the ground up in only two weeks time..

In the end I think it worked out best for everyone, Eli got a custom built bike to suit his needs, and I still have mine which I fell back in love with. Thanks to Aaron for being a good friend and wanting to do something special for his awesome son.

Thank you to everybody who was involved with this build:
