track-specific bike when full. In fact,
one of the few complaints we had with
the RX was its fit and feel because of
the 2.2-gallon tank (the same is true
on most of Honda's longer-range mod-
els). It has a tough job holding off-road
worthy fuel capacity on a bike with
large perimeter aluminum frame spars.
There's just nowhere to go but up and
that makes the weight of the extra fuel
tall on the chassis. The shape of the
tank isn't terrible, but you can definite-
ly tell when it's full compared to when
it's down a half-gallon or so.
Overall, the suspension seems to
have a more usable range and reason-
able adjustability than the new Honda
CRF250R that the RX is so heavily

feels right at ease
both on the trail
and on the track.
