t was nearly 10 years ago when Honda introduced the first
CRF250L to the world, and it has proven to be hit for the
company having since sold more than 35,000 units, which
includes the CRF250L Rally that made its debut four years lat-
er. Honda felt it was time to thank both models by giving them
a thorough makeover. For 2021, Honda gave both the L and
the Rally a much-welcomed boost in displacement/power,
several smaller upgrades across the board and a fresh look.
Both bikes were also put on a hard-core weight-loss program
which resulted in each model shedding some 10 pounds!
More power, less weight—that's always a good thing.
