Honda CRF250L 2020

Honda's little CRF250L should be taken seriously as a true off-road bike. Even if the power does not move mountains, it comes to life once the paved surface ends. What counts here is not top speed, but the stable handling it displays. That's why this accessible Honda is also perfect for taking your first off-road steps, because even if it goes down unplanned: change plastics and keep going! If you want to leave the tarmac behind and explore the world off-road, the CRF250L is just right for you!
