So here is what I'm looking at so far.

CRF250R

KX250

YFZ250

Looking for the best specs of each and what handles the best, most comforting and nice feeling of all.

Looking for something to take in the dunes that works amazing and something that can get the job done with ease.

buying new?

most dirt bikes will be pretty much the same in feel and handling from the factory...rider is the biggest factor in a dirt bikes performance tbh.

comfortable+dirt bike doesn't really go hand in hand. they aren't meant to be comfortable they are meant to be pushed hard which means the rider gets pushed hard as well.

Experience and height? Any of those 250F are probably pretty similar.

You should do a little more independent research before asking for opinions. At least do enough to understand why those model numbers are wrong/incomparable.

Im 5'10 I rode dirtbikes from like 5-11 then 11-15 Quads want to get back on dirtbikes.

I was driving a honda trx700xx with a barker exhaust / ehs programmer / kn filter.

Looking for something fairly small that packs a punch.

Honestly unless you have spent a good but of time on each of them, you will barely notice any difference. Specs are all pretty similiar as well. You buying new or used? I loved 2strokes growing up, but i much prefer 4strokes these days. Look at the specfic years you are looking into to see if there were any issues during that time. Aside from that, just go and sit on them, see what you feel more comfortable on. If you know how to ride well any one of those is going to do whatever the hell you want across the dunes. I definitely would suggest fuel injected if you can find a good deal. Plus just a little riding tip, dont be afraid to bail off the bike in the dunes if you feel like you are going down. Its pretty damn soft compared to hard dirt.

what of it? lol .. i have ktm 690r myself lol, so naturally..... haha

I had a honda 450 back in the day/ 12 years ago or so and it was good but i prefer ktm for dirt bikes.


quads though, my first one was a bomber ds650 baja but when i got into flat track and tt racing back in high school i went honda 400 then upgraded to 450r when they came out

Only honda ill ever buy is a quad haha.
