Honda CRF250L 2013

There is no question that the CRF250L can also be used in light terrain, gravel roads are a lot of fun and light single trails are absolutely no problem. Only difficult terrain is not really possible due to the softly tuned suspension elements.

Harmonious chassis tuning

easy terrain rideable

comfortable, upright seating position

uncomplicated riding

manageable

upright, uncomplicated riding.

Brakes could be applied a little harder, as could the hand force required.

KTM 690 SMC R 2020

KTM 690 SMC R 2020

A large, powerful single cylinder, a stable chassis, just over 160 kg of tractive weight and modern electronics for support - the key data alone suggests a lot of riding pleasure. In 2024, the SMC-R may be a little dusty in some respects and is no longer the undisputed queen of road-legal supermotos, but it can still offer a lot of supermoto fun and performance.

Powerful engine

Electronics can support safety or supermoto manoeuvres as required

Stable, fully adjustable suspension

Agile riding performance

Good ergonomics

Low fuel consumption

Great quickshifter

Old LC display and halogen headlights no longer up to date

Suspension could absorb small bumps more harmoniously

Brakes not overly sensitive
