Review In A Few

What Is It?

The Honda CRF250L is a premium off-road focused A2 licence friendly adventure bike which is great for green laning and is powered by a Euro 3 compliant liquid cooled 249 cc single cylinder four stroke engine, producing 22.8 bhp at 8,500 rpm and maximum torque at 7,000 rpm. The engine is derived from the CBR250R.

Features include:

• Steel tubular frame with Aluminium swingarm
• 256 mm wavy disc up front with two piston caliper
• 220 mm disc at the rear with Nissin single piston caliper
• 43 mm Showa upside down fork with 250 mm travel
• Showa rear shock with 240 mm travel
• 6 speed gearbox, braced handlebar

Unusually the radiator is on the left of the bike and the brake discs are designed to be self cleaning for muddy off-road work. The wire spoked 21" front wheel takes a 3.00 knobbly tyre and the rear 18" a 120/80.

Colours: Red/white, black (2019)

Model History & Updates

2014: Honda introduced a more road focused Supermoto version in the CRF250M.

2017: Power up to 24.4 bhp, maximum torque available lower down at 6,750 rpm, ABS system added for Euro 4 compliance, new digital dash with fuel gauge/rev counter, fuel capacity up 0.1 litres and new folding tip on gear lever but weight is up 2 kg. Slightly updated design with red fork protectors, a more compact / better looking rear light cluster and generally less white.

CRF250 Rally launched with longer travel suspension, a screen, larger front disc, larger tank, handguards, LED headlight and more of a fairing. The Rally addressed many of the issues with the original CRF250L/M.
