Has to be an interesting story behind this one. Ran into a wall?
There's a dent in the header pipe too.

Hit a wall had to hurt.

I mean, there isnt even dirt on it
This is obviously a "ran-into-car/wall-while-showing-off" situation

HTF do you even get whiskey throttle on a four stroke? And to the extent that you then plow into a wall? There are some special riders out there.

Cracked frame emplies weld failure... that is obviously a broken frame from a catastrophic lack of riding ability.
Maybe he should have taken the tampons that come with a CRF250 
Edit: newmann beat me to it!

Touche, friend. Touche.
However, I find it hard to imagine that old mate on the Honduh was going 'Poto speed. Most of us probably couldn't even breathe - let alone think - going RV's pace.

My thoughts were that some kid pulled this out of the crate and had the shot of being the first one to ever ride it..... and he did so. Into the back wall of the dealership building. Insurance claim time! Poor kid had the high and certain low of his life in the span of 30 seconds......
kinda like my wedding day......
