If the weekend seems like a distant memory, fear not! We’re back with our latest edition of Motorbike Mondays and today’s Honda CRF250L review is guaranteed to get you revved for the week ahead. Introduced to the CRF series in 2012, the CRF250L brought Honda speeding onto the dual-sport motorbike market – and we’re finding out what all the fuss is about. Today’s review will give you the low-down on everything you need to know about this off-roader – and if you’re interested in exploring your Honda finance options, we can help there, too.
Design
When it comes to Honda motorbikes, the Japanese manufacturers know how to design a bike fit for purpose – and this dual-sport motorcycle does just that. For a practical street bike that also puts in an impressive off-road performance, the Honda CRF250L won’t let you down. Taking its lead from the CRF range, the CRF250L’s styling is typical of Honda – with an added eye-catching, aggressive finish.
Performance and Handling
This CRF comes with a 250cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine and, at just 144kg, weighs less than the average street bike – meaning the lightweight Honda CRF250L will cover plenty of ground while putting in a well balanced performance. Thanks to its responsive steering, long-travel suspension and smooth performance, the CRF250L will iron out any bumps in the road – putting this motorbike right at home in the city or out on the open road.
