New Honda lightweight

[outback jack]

The new CRF250L, will it be as good as the Yammie
Forget the old air-cooled 223cc single that used to carry that name, this is a road-going enduro-style bike that carries the same 22bhp engine as the new CBR250R.

Has potential

oops...!

If the price is right... then my wife just LOST interest (quickly) in that new 350cc KTM Freerider that everyone was drooling over in Milan two weeks ago...

(we've heard the Freerider would start at a pricetage @ EUR 6,995 )


... and one of these could be interesting, as a nice entry level trailbike/enduro mount...

So this be the engine, What's the valve service intervals on a CBR http://www.cbr250.net/forum/cbr250-p...ne-design.html

Saw my Honda dealer today. He said it should hit the floors in a month or two and sell for sub $6K

I hate to say it but I've had some of the best fun on an XT223 yamy years ago. In the tight stuff with a suitable lack of respect it, it'd keep up with anything.

best value for money enduro bike on the market
a lot of folk would go a whole lot faster and have a whole lot more fun if they swallowed their ego and bought a ttr/dr 250

Have they fixed the electrics on the TTR's? Why would Honda waste their coin on only building a SM 400 now Every xr400 out here on farms must be clocking up a million k's by now, fellars still fight over them at property auctions regardless of condition.

Yeh but how many calories in an ego? No point in riding a smaller bike if you gain 20kg!

smaller bike and not being convinced they have to stand up all day would make a lot of people a lot better riders.
