honda crf250L review


 

Ok quick update, I took the little honda out today for test ride and I can say it is a very good bike, a couple of things to remember , I'm 6,2 and 18 stone. First getting on the bike it feels a little heavy at first but bear with me, turn the ignition and no fancy disco lights like the klx just the normal whizz of the fuel pump. Of down the road out of g t motorcycles and very suprised at how quick it got up to speed with no fuss and hondas legendary super slick gear change. I decided to give devils steps a miss but I did take it around a few lanes very close to it to see how it went, now on the road it was no slouch and not wanting to rag it to hard as it only had 128 miles on the clock, I went very well on the flat I got it up to 70mph without much fuss. Into the first lane which is a up hill rocky climb then goes into a little faster rutted muddy lane, no fuss with the little Honda just chugged away in 2nd gear a little bit twitchy due to tyre pressures being way to high and the O.E. tyres not being great but very capable just the same. Next lane is a downhill rocky lane again aside from the tyre pressures making it a bit uncomfortable great, front brake was lacking a little feel and bite but the bike is new.

Next lane a few of you will know it as "the overgrown one with all the tree roots in",I went up it with great ease, keeping a very straight line over the roots no problem.

One more stoney wet lane then back to the road, which is where this bike really is very good, cruiseing in top gear no problem even as low as 30mph. I would rate this bike very highly for anyone to ride novice and experienced alike. I am thinking of buying one as a great all round bike. There would be a few mods I would do, the bars a very low for me when stood up, the tyres would have to go and a mt43 rear is a must, along with that the rims have no rim locks in as standard. All in all great bike for the money.

Good report, you should write for the Mags! looks like a nice bike if a little heavy for me.
