So the Honda scored a 3.8 out of 5 and the KLX 4 out of five. Very close in comparison.
The KLX made more peak power with its lean carb. Open up the intake add a pipe and jet kit, now we are talking even more. The toque goes to the CRF but with the above mods I imagine the KLX would beat it. Now to do the same to the CRF, open intake, pipe and Programmer, it might get up to the advertised HP of 23. But that would be a lot more money than the KLX with the pipe and jet kit because of the price of a programmer. After that the CRF still doesn’t have the suspension the KLX has. It is nice to see that they didn’t choose the Honda......well because it is a Honda with fuel injection, but by actual testing the two bikes back to back and not just going “Looks Good on Paper” method.

I'm glad you're in touch with your feelings.

Good to know, wasn't sure if the larger piston compensated for it.
Wish I would have had time to take the Internal Combustion Engines class before graduating.

I've seen reports the KLX250S actually weighs less than the specificied 298 pounds. Can anyone verify this is true?
