does a bear crap in the woods? can fish drown? are blondes dumb?

honda CR's handle quite well in fact they were quite reliable however a friend of mine got rid of his 250 due to it being a case reed engine and it had issues. as far as susp still is a relative feeling, sx susp would be stiff for anyone, a James stewarts would be very stiff for a mere mortal and so is a boner.

as far as suspension goes you can have it tuned/revalved to your specific needs/skill level/weight no matter what bike. being that its an 03 the oil in the shock and forks is broken down and itll handle like crap and blow thru the stroke making it a very harsh ride.

I've been riding my 03 cr250 a ton since 03.  Suspension has been rebuilt twice, and motor top ends only so far.  The bike is reliable, jetting sucks so you will need a jet kit.

It has a good motor, extremely strong mig and strong top, bottom is sad.

Suspension is soft stock.  Not harsh.
