Overall - in terms of simple utility - and for most types of Offroad, Enduro and Woods riding. The 2004 XR250R is quite possibly the best dirt bike ever made. It does everything well, able to withstand the most punishing conditions, only to ask for more. Nimble in handling, quick, more than ample torque. Reliability without compare. Yup, this is THE BEST ALL AROUND DIRT BIKE EVER MADE!
