e have learned from past
reviews of the KLX250 and
CRF250L that these are
two surprisingly capable motorcycles
that are extremely fun to ride despite
their relatively small displacements,
soft suspensions, and small price
tags. Our review of the new 300cc
versions of each bike revealed that
they have only gotten better. A little
more displacement and a few more
refinements to both went a long way.
Although both bikes are complete-
ly street legal and can comfortably
cover road miles at 60-plus miles per
hour, they are better suited to explor-
ing dirt roads and trails and running
quick errands around town.
After a significant amount of time
riding both these bikes on pavement
and dirt (okay, we admit, mostly
dirt), we've compiled our thoughts
on some of the main categories that
you will likely consider when trying
to choose which of these two bikes
might be best residing in your garage.
