Today I put over 100 miles on the CRF250L...about 60 on road, 40 off road, and 2up. The little Honda performed beautifully!
PROS:
--Fuel Injection! Good throttle response and smooth acceleration. Very handy when on slippery terrain such as lose gravel, sand, water.
--OnRoad agility was beyond what I expected. Nimble and quick, not fast, but quick and SUPER nimble.
--Digital Gauges which include fuel gauge and large speedometer. Also has clock and trip meters.
--MPG in the high 60's
CONS:
--Seat Sucks! Hard and uncomfortable.
--Seat height...I tippy toe. Of course this is more of a personal problem but guess dual sports arent made for peep with short inseams seeing as this is one of lowest seat height bikes.
--No RPM gauge. Thought I wouldnt miss it but it feels weird to not have it.
--Gas tank tooooo small!
I basically love the bike. I could only imagine how perfect a Kawasaki 300 Dual Sport would be!!!
