Racer X Films: 2021 Kawasaki KX250 Versus 2021 Honda CRF250R Dirt Bike Test

Kris Keefer’s son Aden is growing into his own as an amateur racer. Aden, currently 14 years old, is moving from the C class to the B class so the Keefers wanted to take two bikes Aden has been riding and make several modifications to see the pros and cons of each bike—a 2021 Kawasaki KX250 versus a 2021 Honda CRF250R. At State Fair MX, Aden (with the help of Kris) explains his thoughts on the two bikes.

For reference, Aden is 5'8" and 125 pounds. Kris also explains why he chose Kawasaki and Honda for this comparison.

My two favorite bikes, they both look sick. Aden is lookin pretty damn good and smooth

[ashtonpalmer]

Crazy to watch him mature bike skill wise. Kid is so smooth and his cornering is rad👏🏻👏🏻

[chrisvozza]

Crazy how much of a difference those mods made to the Honda. Good review 👍👍. Good luck aiden

[prmilly]

I could be biased but I felt like he looked more comfortable and faster on the kawi. Could be because he claimed he had to ride it more aggressive but either way I hope he does good on whatever he chooses to ride. Great video

[LukePowell]

Love my Honda 250 handles and corners like a beast

[mbproductions]

You do not NEED mods to race dirtbikes in competition, besides that great video!

[josegarcia]

at 6:30 you say your kid has been riding a stock honda for a while.. of course he will have faster lap times and feel more at home on the honda... just my 2 cents

[dfjr]

Have both 21 with just exhaust. They nail cornering characteristics but without ignition/gas/head work the honda isn’t even close power-wise(mid top or high). Still a fun bike to ride.

[sambuvca]

My son may as well be sitting on the handlebars. Too funny. We are working on that!!!!😂

[dennishilton]

Does the honda have the rekluse torque drive clutch pack in it ?

[patbarraza]

How is Aden a better tester then 95% of the guys Swap has testing their bikes 🤯🤯🤯

[aerk]

How’s the 2021 Yamaha yz250 in comparison to the KX and CRF?

[marcusbarnes]

Please do a 2021 kx450 VS 2021 ktm 450 sxf

[jg]

Why not the KTM or Husky? Would either of those give you Honda-like cornering with better bottom-to-mid right off the showroom floor? Plus Yami-like mobile app tuneability. Agree he looked smoother and more comfortable on the Honda. Put him on just the Kwai for 4 weeks of serious practice & retest. Best of luck to him & you guys!

Either one be sweet in back my Fox 2.0 shock kit lifted '19 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 - Ecoboost! Leaning toward '21 Kawi 250F.

[sharplespaul]

I listened to the podcast today twice while driving, So I’m very curious if?? You changed the map on the Kawi to get close to each other.Would he like it more???Then for me? Which bike has less engine breaking???

[davidswallows]

the kawi 250f is the most unreal bike i’ve ever ridden it’s hard to find a stock bike that works for my 5’6 130 pound ass and that bike literally does everything i want it to effortlessly

[mototodd]

Does the Kawi have the throttle on the left side? He kept revving with his left arm on jump landings.

[millsy-_-]

At 11:45 he loses his number plate on the kawi

[sambuvca]

Thanks for these vids. I asked and it probably wasn’t for me but thanks anyway!
