Honda CRF250 Rally 2017

Honda CRF250 Rally 2017

All in all, the CRF 250 Rallye is a nice addition to the enduro segment, which is neglected by many. The rally fairing provides a sporty look and practical benefits. The bike looks cheeky and cool, but also scores with many pragmatic strengths.

Large steering angle

easy to use

good engine control

great wind and weather protection

ABS can be switched off on the rear wheel.

Clutch lever not optimal to operate with two fingers off-road

handlebars look unsexy

chassis feels doughy and not very precise
