Overview
The Honda CRF 250L is a dual-sport motorcycle produced from 2013 through 2020. For 2020, its 249.6 cm³ single-cylinder, four-stroke engine makes 23 hp (17 kW) and 22.0 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm; wet weight is 146 kg.
An 874 mm seat puts the rider high, which can make getting both feet down harder for shorter riders, while the 146 kg wet weight is relevant when maneuvering at low speed. Its 254 mm ground clearance, 249 mm front travel, and 239 mm rear travel suit rougher surfaces; the 8-liter tank and stated range of about 250 km help set expectations for time between fuel stops.
