What sets this fork apart from the other KYB pneumatic forks offered by Kawasaki and Suzuki is the fact that the air chambers are in the left side and all the damping functions are in the right rather than vice versa. This is an air fork with the springing and damping functions separated in the two different legs, and with three different chambers for air. It got a proprietary version of the Showa triple Air. In 2015 Honda gave its 250 the most sophisticated fork in the business. Other things that set the Honda apart are the twin mufflers and the HPSD steering damper. Back in 2004 Honda was making a point that you don’t need two cams and all the accompanying complications to make power, and, in fact, there were a number of years that the Honda was the horsepower king. The Unicam head design still makes it very different from anything else in the class. ![]() ![]() You have to know your Hondas pretty well to tell the difference between a new motor and the very first one that appeared back in 2004.

The CRF250R played the role as the smart guy in a room full of Hulks. Kawasaki, KTM and Yamaha took turns going a little crazy, and now the 250 four-stroke world is a place where brawn rules and power is the only law. The motorcycles were fairly equal in strength, and if anyone had an upper hand, it was by the smallest measure. The 250F class is out of control. It seems like just a few years ago this class was a calm, smart place to be.
