My X is going to take my daughter out tomorrow to learn to ride on a honda 250r this bike seems to big for her first ride. What are your thoughts?
There are far worse bikes to learn on but I predict that progress will be slow and difficult, desire to get back up and try again will be vital. If you put her on a Honda 125 Grom or a 250 Trials bike for a day first that would have been far more enjoyable and she would learn far more easily. If the bike is a CRF that indicates it is a 4-stroke and at least the bike will have some manageable power down low and power delivery will be fairly linear, if it is an older CR250R that would be a 2-stroke motor and have way more difficult to control power delivery. Bars are nice and wide which will give a new rider decent control, bike is fairly light which is good and mostly plastic shielded which is good for when she falls down, saddle height and long, stiff suspension best suited to high speed spirited riding will not work in her favour.She is not athletic. She is 5 foot 5 inches tall. She tried to sit on the bike and it fell over. He is not a certified instructor. This is his bike.
It's prolly too late now. RUN away from this offer.It's a VERY bad idea.She is not athletic. She is 5 foot 5 inches tall. She tried to sit on the bike and it fell over. He is not a certified instructor. This is his bike.
