Is the CRF250L's fuel injection a big advantage over carbureted dual sports?
24 January 2025 09:44
It depends on what you are looking to do. The CRF250L’s fuel injection is perfect for the daily commuter with a little trail use thrown in. To me though, the argument of a simpler carbed system for a hardcore adventure bike that could be faced with sketchy fuel in remote areas makes sense. You need to know what your needs are and choose accordingly.
Does the CRF250L's soft suspension make the bike a no go for serious off road use?
24 January 2025 09:44
In fact, the soft suspension is actually a blessing in disguise. I find it makes the bike a lot more comfortable for daily riding and long trips. Not everyone needs a race ready, stiff suspension on their dual sport. It’s perfect for the average rider who hits dirt roads every now and again.
But how does the CRF250L stack up as a beginner bike against the usual suspects of starter motorcycles?
24 January 2025 09:44
The previous comment does not agree with me. In fact, the height of the CRF250L actually forces new riders to learn proper technique for mounting and dismounting which is critical. That means you can practice in dirt so you can learn to deal with slides and loose surfaces in a safer environment than the street.
Is the CRF250L a ‘Jack of all trades and master of none’?
24 January 2025 09:44
I've ridden my CRF250L for two years now and I have to say: It was a blast. Yes, it’s not going to win any races, but that’s not the point. It’s a great commuter bike, I can do some light touring, hit some trails on the weekend, and commute to work during the week. It's the Swiss Army knife of motorcycles.
Is the CRF250L a better adventure riding bike than the legendary XR650L?
24 January 2025 09:44
I've ridden both and for adventure riding, the XR650L any day. That thumper engine is a bulletproof engine and it has enough power to get you and your gear through anything. Comparatively, the CRF250L feels underpowered, especially if you’ve taken it off on a fully loaded shopping trip to the store and back.
