CRF250L
The Honda CRF250L came on the scene in 2013.
It caught our interest at the time because it was an
all-new motorcycle, filling a gaping hole in Honda's
dual-sport line of entry-level dirt bikes. It had fuel-

low MSRP of $4499.
It also had some cool things like a twin-spar
steel frame that was painted silver to mimic the
CRF-R frames. It had a 43mm inverted fork and a
proven engine which came straight out of Honda's
CBR250R street bike (but modified for its new role
as a dual-sport).
The CRF250L got its first revamp last year.
Honda gave it a 2mm larger throttle body (increased
to 38mm), a revised ECU, a more efficient air-intake
