My son really loves it in the summer we got one KTM SXF 2018
Though I was much stronger, my son could not be accommodated
CRF may not have the best engine but has the best frame and suspension better driving position and it helps you go very fast
Two months ago he led the new YZ250F He had a better feeling in jumping better low middle but high Crf was better
(CRF have Yoshi ,vortex ,air filter without screen ,49 t sprocket )
Now I wait crf250 2019
After all, I realized that if I aggressively drive Crf is one of the best choices
Pit Row
Ride it where it should be ridden - it's near the top of the pack on power, and the power is plenty wide enough to stay in it - if you don't ride like a 450 rider.
If you come off a 125 - the crf will feel 5 times broader - and much more powerful.
If you come off a 450 - it will feel doggy down low.
I think the new crf basic platform engine wise is capable of being class leading over the next fear years.
The yzf FEELS great - SOUNDS barky - but will disappoint you in a side by side drag race if you ever do one. What makes it special is HUGE Low throttle opening power vs the competition - which makes i feel FAR stronger.
But a top level rider will ride it vs ktm vs crf and immediately point out it's pulling power is not as good.
The factory racing yzf is nothing like what you buy despite the association it is - nor are any of the top level bikes.
My friend has a 19 and said his review is SPOT ON!
The single most interesting to me - is rider perception. On paper - and engine that makes the MOST power everywhere is best (if you could build such a thing to lead the pack bottom to top) - but if the peak torque comes on early - and has a large fall off from peak torque at peak hp (yet still climbing in HP) riders will say top sucks
Same exact engine but take away peak torque amount - with SAME top - they will say the top is good.
So...
the yzf has very good top - it's not a ktm or a crf - but it's close.
It also has very good torque - very soon in the curve.
Riders say the top sucks (or did) - past 13000 - the old yzf did fall off. But to 13000 it was solid.
However - the crf and ktm are stronger up top - and noticeably so. Even still. The crf was lacking some tuning HP last year - but tuned in its quite strong power wise - just shitty until 10k on the dyno.
Sounds like this bike is the bench mark handling wise. I laugh at the talk of lack of low end after a year on a HPP cylinder 125. Rode the 19 ktm bikes and liked the 125,250 and best was the 350.
